Interesting, but probably rare. Most just get a fine and community service if they can't pay it. Several years ago they broke a ring of poachers who were taking bears out of Shenandoah and selling them in the orient. It would be interesting to see if any of them did time. Jerry Can you imagine the conversation in the exercise yard? "What ya in fer?" "Shot some birds."
