Well, we kicked off this week with what looks like the culmination of one of the largest wildlife crime syndicates in Texas history, we followed that up with the case of a New York man who is accused of poaching over 30 deer, the tale of a douchey Arizona CEO who plundered 401K accounts to illegally fund lavish hunting excursions, we covered a new CWD study showing that deer are now contracting the deadly disease in the womb and we closed out the week with the indictment of Cody Roberts, the infamous Wyoming man accused of capturing, torturing and eventually killing a wolf in February of last year.
