Surprise: banning someone from buying a hunting license doesn’t work if they never cared about one in the first place.⁠
⁠
A 34-year-old Oregon man was sentenced late last month for a flurry of game violations that included poaching a trophy-class bull elk and a trophy-class buck in Grant County. Prosectors say Travis Alexander Palmer killed both animals with a rifle during archery season. He also happened to be spotlighting from his vehicle on a public road at night, and he definitely didn’t have the proper tags. That’s because the Mount Vernon man is no longer eligible to purchase a hunting license thanks to a lifetime ban handed down in 2015 and 2024. hose sentences followed lighter revocations of hunting privileges which began when Palmer was a teen. The most recent violations secured yet another lifetime ban. This is the third time in a decade the man received such a sentence, and the fifth overall revocation of his hunting privileges.⁠
