We all received this violation even though he's the one who shot the deer. We also received a "tagging violation" as well for not tagging the deer properly.

Never heard of such. Why would anyone besides him get a ticket. Surely you did not pay that fine?

Yes one of them is a big black guy and My gun is walnut with a stainless barrel, Happened in Jefferson Davis parish

if it went down like you say I would feel same way, I had similar problem with a place I hunt.

It was told just as it happened. The dept of WLF is reviewing the video and more charges are to come. This is now going to the DA office as well. I will not stop till something is done and this is made right. We gave them a fare warning the weekend before to stop and they still did this to us, don't mess with us and we won't mess with you, but piss us off and its ON!!!!!! All they had to do was leave us alone and stop hunting on us and they chose not too, you are responsible for your actions.

fair is fair, if I pay to lease land then everyone else stay off and I do like wise. The woods is no place for stupid people doing stupid things for sure when guns are involved. I have some land I was fighting some people over and when I brought some church kids camping and the people showed up I layed it on the line for them my final warning that if they did not leave I would have them picked up and press charges for endangering up to 20 young kids and I would make sure they spent time in jail, that was the last time I ever saw them but I also had 911 dialed and was ready to have them picked up. As you said don't bother me and I won't bother you and we will all get along, good luck and I hope you get it all worked out.

I was told that this is also going to be looked at...I hope so I have friends who are state rep. and they also have received the complaint and they are working on this as well. From what I understand they are going to be charged with trespassing and more charges my follow, don't want to say what they are just yet, and a tagging volition as well...Keep kicking the ant pile till something happens!!!

Forgot to mention also that when all of our stuff happened that we were on the wrong land (by mistake), and 2 of my friends shot deer off this land, which come to find out is a felony charge & they were charged with that as well. It is referred to as "Killing whitetail deer without landowners consent". And if the landowner signs a nonconsent form stating they didn't give those persons permission to be on the land they can file charges and arrest them. We all received charges of "Criminal Trespassing with a Deadly Weapon"!

Now all this took place in Texas on land that I had never been on or heard about. We were shown where to go and told where to hunt. Don't know if Texas law is that different from Louisiana or not. Hopefully, this helps out.

I sure wish I could tell you differently but I can't. They charged us all the same except I didn't get the felony charge that they received b/c at the time I hadn't killed anything off that land (wrong land). If I wouldn't have paid the fine I'd have a warrant out for my arrest, so it's not worth it to not pay it and all the consequences and court costs to deal with later on.

It was a bad deal, and I had no control over anything. To our knowledge we did nothing wrong and were on the right land up until we were confronted by the landowner and then the calvary started to roll in.

This was Texas? Different deal over there, you can feed your deer to the dogs here if you choose, but I don't condone such actions

Louisiana does have a wanton waste law. If you don't attempt to recover an animal, you can and will be charged.

Right, but once you recover it, it is yours to do whatever you wish. Eat it, give it away to a person, dog, or throw it in the trash
