Our view: Justice for the poached

Colorado Parks and Wildlife

A year ago, we told you about the case of two Florida men who had pleaded guilty in connection with a poaching operation based in Limon (“

On Feb. 11, a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission hearing examiner suspended the state hunting license of TImothy C. Draper, 33, of Bunnell, Florida, for 20 years. Lawrence J. Cowart, 30, also of Bunnell, was banned from hunting in Colorado for life. (See story on 4C.)

“Mr. Cowart has a history of violating wildlife laws in his home state of Florida and in North Carolina,” said CPW Commission hearing examiner Steven Cooley. “His most recent wildlife violations in Colorado are considered among the most serious of criminal activity against wildlife, where an animal is killed for its trophy parts and the meat is abandoned to waste.”
