"Granville man gets 150 days in prison for shooting elk ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A North Carolina man has been sentenced to 150 days in prison for fatally shooting an elk in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Bruce Wayne Cromer Jr. of Stovall had pleaded guilty in June to the November 2009 shooting. Elk No. 21 had been introduced into the park 10 years ago as part of a program to repopulate the species. U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Howell also ordered to Cromer to forfeit his rifle, which was autographed by NASCAR legend Richard Petty. Cromer will also lose his hunting license for two years and has been banned from all national parks for the same time period. Elk No. 21 was the first to be poached since 52 elk were released in 2001. More than 100 elk now roam the park."

The fact that the guy only got 150 days.

It would be a pretty sweet surprise if the next step of Lohan's downward spiral was elk poaching with nascar memorabilia.

7/17/2010 11:03:32 PM

instead of jail time, they should've just fined him for the price of replacing the elk and made him go around giving lectures on ethical/safe hunting

would've been much more effective

7/17/2010 11:11:12 PM

I don't know man. That jail time isn't going to be a cakewalk. Prison gangs are really rough on elk killers.

7/17/2010 11:16:04 PM

homeboy was hunting with a petty autographed rifle

chances are he was a white trash idiot who thought he was shooting at a state record whitetail

stereotypes, y'all

[Edited on July 17, 2010 at 11:19 PM. Reason : what i'm saying is, this shows the importance of hunter education]

7/17/2010 11:19:17 PM
