The Conservation Officers will be keeping an eye out for the 211 who voted that stopping poaching was a make work job for the officers. What ever happened to putting people in stocks or caning? Hanging is a little severe for a first offense but a few days in the stocks down by the local fly shop with plenty of rotten fruit available.
