As you can see from my previous posts here and here, hunting season in North Dakota is a voluptuous woman dressed in tube tops and mini skirts. She steals the attention of all the boys and even some tom-boyish, get dirty kind of girls. That bitch.
So it only seems natural to punish law-breakers with penalties sure to discourage such criminal acts again and also punishments in which the state doesn't have to pay for. Unlike incarceration, fines, fees and community service provide the wallop of discipline without the expense to the state.
They're pretty strict up here... it's almost as bad as Guantanamo Bay or Chinese water torture. In the Upper Plains, they take away the major prize, the deer-hunting trophy, if you will, all at minimal expense to the taxpayer. However, the devastation to the offender just might land him or her in the care of mental health professionals.
In North Dakota, if you use a fake ID to shoot deer, the law not only fines and fees ya, but it forces you to forfeit two sets of antlers too.
And no wrongdoing is worth that.
In other news: wearing a hoodless sweatshirt with the face of a deer on it, is, apparently, no crime. Now where's the justice in that?
15 years is giant metal chickens. Or sweet stuffed animals. Welcome to the
15th James Garfield Miracle.

Hunters are a funny lot. My stepmother sold my dad's prize six point buck antler rack at a garage sale when he wasn't home. The damn thing was so big it had to be hung only halfway up the wall, and looked like an animal had tried to run through but been caught.
