A few years back my dad and I were hunting our 70+ acres and we heard a shot from across the road on the 300 acres we leased. We got out of the stand and hauled butt to the road going into the property. We went sneaking in and heard a voice talking on a cell phone. Mine went off at that moment and the voice stopped. We sat around for a few, but never heard anything else. We decided to drive off and circle around the property....
On our second round we saw a wrecked vehicle and blue lights coming up. Turns out the guy had freaked, loaded up his deer, and tried to haul butt out of the property. He lost control where the the gravel met the payment and rolled his truck. He suffered minor injuries....until the cops got there.....
In his haste he had forgotten to put the tag on his deer and forgot he had an unregistered/unpermitted loaded pistol in his truck right next to open beer cans. After we told the cops that he had poached the deer and showing them the tire tracks from the property they confiscated the deer, his deer rifle, his pistol, and his truck. Cited him for unregistered handgun, open container, possession of loaded weapon while drinking, tresspassing, illegally harvesting wildlife, wreckless driving, and DUI.
Though he did get off some of the charges, he lost his license for a year or two, both weapons, truck, and paid several thousand in attorney fees and court costs.....all for a lil scrub 6pt.
