POACHING -- It's stunning to learn that:
- A team of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife police devoted a day and night of surveillance at Banks Lake...
- One officer hiding in the rocks for 7.5 hours...
- Before they closed in to make a bust...
- That ended with a foot race through the sagebrush to catch poachers red-handed with 377 fish and seven illegal gill nets.
And then we learn that the Grant County District Court judge let them out of jail without even posting bail even though one of the culprits had an airplane ticket back to Ukraine that will depart before their Jan. 22 court date.
Read this story and weep for our natural resources.
