After a one-day trial in state court, six jurors returned a verdict of “not guilty” for Chauncy G. Goodrich of Pinedale, who testified he shot and killed a young bull moose in self-defense. Goodrich, who lives along Pine Creek on Willow Lake Road, was charged with the high misdemeanor of illegally taking big game, a moose, without a license on July 24, 2017. Wyoming Game and Fish’s Pinedale wildlife supervisor John Lund and wardens Bubba Haley and Jordan Kraft investigated the moose kill after Goodrich texted Haley about his actions, they testified.

He tried to push the moose away from his yard, which not only is his right, but wardens have provided him with assistance in pushing moose out of his yard in the past.
This time, the moose charged him and he shot it. Then he immediately contacted a game warden.
So, naturally, the state put him on trial for illegally harvesting game.
Does anybody else find this to be an incredible waste of law enforcement resources? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
