This kinda thing really pisses me off. Are people ignorant, or just plain stupid. I think the penalty for poaching should be MUCH more severe. I hear some of the old timers' talk about how good the bug hunting was back in the 60's and early 70's, and how crappy it is now. I don't think it's that bad now, but we all have our secret rock piles that we protect the GPS numbers for like our ATM PIN numbers. Am I destined to be the old guy at the dive shop talking about the plethora of bugs back in the 80's and 90's? We need extremely tougher poaching laws that may help create an "absolute deterent". I'm sorry, but I have no tolerance for this unscrupulous BS.
Poachers, watch your back--
