Don't be a poacher.

I had a neighbor who was a prosecuting attorney in Lake County IN.
That is Gary IN, near south Chicago.
I spoke with him about such issues at several gatherings/ neighborhood parties.

He emphatically did not think it was a topic of farce or levity.

YMMV
 
Amish do that? I thought they were all Christians and good people.

Yeah...just like any other church goer that says they believe in God and all that....then you catch them flying down the freeways...running stop signs...stealing from hard working people......
I couldn't find a good laughing face.......but this is what they look like when you confront them about seeing them do something immoral...:rolleyes::):D:p
 
Trespassing and poaching are two different things but in many states trespassing with a firearm carries much harsher penalties and they should

Well most states are supposed to be tied together to end anyone getting away with any form of poaching.....computers.....
 
And in many areas now....trespassing with a firearm is considered criminal trespass with intent...as to whatever intent is......seems like he meant to kill that critter.....no tag....no religious beliefs as to 'do unto your neighbor as you would have him undo to you'....they should have their religion jerked from under them....
This guy clearly was caught...illegal taking of a game animal during a hunting season(but some places have different restrictions of game animals after seasons are over...ie..crop damage)...but killing a critter on neighbors land with a firearm without a tag during season...(hanging)....shooting a buck like that on neighbors property...(hanging)....trying to hide behind religious beliefs(hanging).....
Can you see where i am going with this.......:)...
Carrying that firearm onto neighbors property after committing the crime and enhancing his crime with criminal trespass with a firearm.......(hanging)....:rolleyes:
 
Anyone who doesn't agree with me....(hanging)...
said every tyrant in history...Robespierre, Stalin, Mao, Pol pot...
 
You know if I wanted that deer that bad I would have done my homework
and found just the right spot on my property or some I had permission to hunt
and made the sweetest food plot you ever saw! Beets and turnips Hunt the cold late season, All you have to do is get him to jump the fence?
 
I can not say how much I would have wanted to beat this Amish guy but it seems he needed a huge amount of schooling on his own morals and US game laws, let alone local trespass and theft laws.

What makes it so worse is that bruiser has lived a long smart life staying away from hunters and other threats. And to be taken out like that is disgraceful.
 
So we are all on the same page trespassing and poaching. He didn't have a tag. It's poaching. If a guy trespassed on my property I would want to punch him too.
 
On my farm in Missouri, the only time the county maintained the five miles of travel road was, just prior to hunting season, to assist the poachers from town. I once had a feller ask to hunt no my land. When I informed him that with only 80 acres, I would be harvesting my own deer on my own land. He replied that he had at least asked and that he had hunted my land for years prior to my purchase. I suppose that he believed he had a stronger claim to the game. I told him that if he had wanted it he should have bought the land for the $500.00 acre that I had paid, but "No, you asked and that means you need to abide by the answer." He then threatened to burn down my house. And then the right was on. My wife called the sheriff , sheriff took the would be hunter's information and warned him to steer clear of my property.

The nerve of some people who wish to put their money into city houses, trucks and guns, but thieve from the rural resident who lives with the inconvenience of remote living is astounding at times.

Later in Arkansas I was forced to declare my family farm as a hunting preserve with $1,000.00 annual membership. The sheriff would scarcely enforce trespassing on posted land, and posted land is no hunting even for the land owner, but he had little choice but to enforce a felony theft of services charge. Anyone caught on the property with a gun (by game camera or in pearson) is guilty of hunting. I let the first.couple negotiate a lessor charge, but the uproar in the community was enough to inform all of the new status of my 235 acres there. No trespassers these days.

I now live in Alaska where private ownership is rare, most hunting is done at great expense on remote State and Federal land. My brother maintains my parcel in Arkansas and keeps the game preserve status 'll to date.
