    What Were They Thinking?-14

    by

     

    Here’s more proof (as if you need any) that wildlife poachers aren’t the brightest bulbs in the socket.

    For a pair of University of Toledo students, it wasn’t enough to illegally kill a deer in a city park at night during the first week of October.

    A sharp-eyed California fisheries researcher perusing the Internet recently was shocked after he recognized an endangered and highly protected salmon species appearing on a local tackle shop’s fishing contest Web site! 

    The coho salmon is a species that has been severely impacted in certain regions of the West in recent years, and its annual return to some California rivers for spawning has fallen to dramatically low levels. In fact, on the Russian River, once considered a prime coho fishery, only two fish were documented by biologists during last year’s spawn.
