The two didn't believe the officers when they were informed that they were wildlife officers and bragged and their illegal hunts, their uncle's illegal hunts, and showed officers an illegal turtle skeleton they had in their bag.

I have seen state level infractions that are more serious than that. I watched the DNR impound a dudes truck and confiscated all their fishing equipment, take their license away for the year and give the entire group a fine for fishing about 2 hours before the season opened. Poaching is not cool, and that's exactly what 'illegal hunting' is.

Right? I'm glad they got their uncle roped into this as well, but geez. Why the kid gloves.
