Just read about this - didn't show photos of the "Pits"

"Earlier this week, one of the park employees was out doing landscape work and noticed some things were out of place," NPS spokesman Chris Bryce said.
The looting happened in the eastern part of the park, the National Park Service said, citing a large number of excavated pits. Marked graves were not disturbed.

Sad -

Berryman, thanx for the link.

Anyone with a 'puter, google, and a minute of time, would/could have known better . However, I'm betting that's not the case here. Whomever did those holes (assuming it was an md'r) no doubt did know. Because notice authority only found the holes in the morning. Seems they were dug at night. So this tells you the guys knew full well.

Also, shame on them for not filling their holes. Now that merely creates a giant B.O.L. and "awareness" of supposed evils on our part . So these md'rs are clowns on many fronts. And, gasp, those CW buttons that appear @ buy -&- sell on ebay. Did anyone else catch that? As if that's somehow connected necessarily to this, and they're all ill-gotten gains ?

They were night hawking and no doubt they knew it was illegal..... I want cry any tears if they get the max penalty....

May they get chiggers in their nether regions. Despicable. I have heard of people around here hunting at night while some old person is inside watching T.V. and it makes me sick to my stomach.

Unfortunately, this will add another black mark to our hobby.

Yep, sorta like gun rights. Law abiding folks get punished for crap like this.
