Jeff Foiles Verdict

[Coldwater Crappie Guy]

For those considering doing business with this individual it migh tbe good to keep in mind that to many in the public he represents ALL waterfowl hunters and, in fact ALL hunters. If there was REAL justice he would not be permitted to do business in that field but nothing we can do about that.

Saddest of all-he is not the only one with that mentality and lack of ethics. It's ALL money now days boys.....all about money: catching fish, killing birds, raising deer on a ranch so some guy can "buy" the trophy head he wants, piling up obscene numbers of white geese and dumping them in the local landfill...and nobody seems to care much.

You don't like his ethics-put him out of business.

Well said!

I stopped by his booth today and asked him if they had any pellet guns for sale

He turned his head like he didn't hear me......... one of the girls working the booth said "No, we do not" (with a little smile on her face) LOL!!!

It was great

Well played!

He did 13 months for 2 convictions...that's quite a sentence. You read the local paper and on drug offenses (dealing drugs) they get a year with 363 days stayed...now that makes me sick! I am absolutely not condoning what he got convicted of...or the things that he didn't get convicted of. He did it and he did the time...and a $100,000 fine plus 3 years not hunting. Ever think about what that sentence would do to you?

He did 13 months for 2 convictions...that's quite a sentence.

Let's not forget he was indicted on 23 felony counts and each can hold up to 5 years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine. He pleaded it down to a couple misdeamenor's and I am surprised the feds did not stick him with a felony which would have ended his hunting for good. It appeared that they had all the evidence they needed to do so.

I agree with you though, he did his time and deserves a second chance. I hope he uses his second chance wisely and has a lot more respect for the resource and sport. So far it does not seem like he is on the right track. Seems like the same old arrogant Jeff to me.

Yep that is why I said the ones he wasn't convicted of. I have no association with him or his business and never have. It is just my take on it, I guess I feel that everyone makes a mistake (or 2 or more) once...but if you do it again that is when I become judgemental.
