Generally, at least here, the additional amount over the poaching fine is what replacement cost of the animal would be. So, it's the fines plus that amount. Not sure if that's how that state does it though.
My guess...he's not a first time offender......or wasn't real cooperative either. ...! Just me

In my opinion the fines were not stiff enough.
He jackinghted another buck on previously and would continue to keep doing it.
How would you like him for a neighbor?
Knowing full well he could possibly be on your land.
I for one think he should be given a lifetime ban on hunting reciprocal to all other states and if caught again…
Prison time.

I hope that my post did not come across as any sympathy for this guy. I can go along with huge fines, confiscate his gear or even a public whipping. The only way I can back up jail time is on a chain gang. I can't see tax payers paying to house and feed this guy.
I think it's more than just simple poaching! Sounds like he didn't do anything to help himself. Once your butt is put in the sling don't make it worse.
Obstruction of an investigation, plus the other charges is what got him. The others were more reasonably charged.

Please let us know if you do find out more.
So:
"Alexander also was to forfeit all property seized as evidence, including the trophy deer's antlers."
Curious what was the total value of the evidence seized? Include vehicle? This value could be additionally significant.
Alexander pleaded guilty to the following 14 counts:
Poacher actions invariably paint all hunters in negative light by the anti crowd relative to "trophy" hunting. However, IMO, severe penalties shows otherwise and hopefully act as deterrent to other poachers.

A dear friend of mine who is now deceased helped break up a poaching ring in south Alabama. They were so arrogant as to call themselves "The deer hunting mafia".
Well my friend who was a game warden from another part of the state was supplied with a old 4x4 pickup and set up in a rat hole trailer park in the little town these perps operated. He got in with them and went poaching right along with them, he never shot anything, but he helped in every other way possible. When the bunch of them were busted he was playing poker with the ring leaders as the game wardens and county police rolled onto their property.
Funny part was three of them had gone out poaching and came back as the wardens were cuffing everyone, and just pulled in with poached deer in the bed of the truck. Quite a awakening when they are they were met buy the county Sheriff's officer.
I'd shot archery tournaments with him for over a year in different parts of the state and had to call Jimmy Wade, the name he went by while undercover. Hard to not let slip his name when you were friends for about three decades.
Really miss him, he was there when my son was born, when my mother died, I hunted all over the state when he was promoted and moved to another area of the state. Game wardens always knew where the best hunting was.

Found out a little more. He was apparently shot from the road. But has permission to hunt that property. That's all I know
