California man killed a trophy deer on his rural property. Now he’s facing a huge penalty.

I concur.
I agree a land owner should be able to hunt without paying for the license....but wild animals are public trust. The law is there to keep land owners from fencing in wild animals too.
There was a case about 5 years ago with a woman that was literally trapping deer on her property with a high fence enclosure so they couldn't roam free.....to save them from the hunters. After hunting season ended she'd let them out. She paid some hefty fines......wild animals can't be contained on private property.
High fence hunting out west is different ......the animals they fence in for paying customers are bread or purchased.....by the land owner.
Why can't our immigration laws be enforced with this kind of zeal?

Every dear harvested it a trophy, look how many hunting licences are purchased and how many deer are actually killed.
If you have the proper tags any deer you are lucky enough to get should be considered a trophy.
Glad they threw the book at him, and seized his gun, hopefully hunting privileges in all states are revoked

"Pink"? No.
I don't mean "animals belong to everyone" in the Peta.....soccer mom....save the animals snowflake way. I mean they belong to everyone to USE. If you let landowners take what they want you end up with less for everyone else on public land. Wild game doesn't just stay on piece of property for one land owner to use.
Anyway....."pink"?
I dont think so.

Did he breed and raise that deer on his land? Didn't think so.

What difference does it make, especially to the unborn child, what you call it?
problem is all the a**h***s who don't hunt for what they need.
If you were allowed to hunt anything on your property, any time, with no bag limits there would be no deer herd in new england within a few years.
The northeast used to have elk. bigger elk than out west. They're gone now because stupid a**h***s thought there was an infinite supply. Every dumb, irresponsible redneck in the area would be out every weekend trying to get a deer and your kids will grow up listening to your stories about what deer hunting "was".
f***'s sake, are you trying to get the thread locked?
The government....aka.....everyone.
It's that way so that there can be a management plan (hunting regulations) to keep the populations maintained so all can have the opportunity to utilize them.

Can you ban deer from your property upon pain of death and consumption? ![[thinking]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/010.gif "Thinking [thinking]")

I have to agree with whacko on this. If you let people take whatever they want off there own land. You would be back to where you were in in the early 1900s. Just about every native species was on the brink of Extinction.

I thought this was an interesting read that came out today, ironically:

The passage of the pitman Robertson act......provided funds to pay for wildlife management plans.....and enforcement of the plans fixed the mess that was created by unlimited taking of game in this country in the early 1900s. The act was passed with overwhelming support by hunters and sportsmen......hunters decided regulation of hunting was a necessary program in order to ensure game would be available for all.
Another fact......For those that do not know......every time you buy ammo......guns ...or shooting sports related equipment a tax is paid at the wholesale level to fund these programs. Doesn't matter if the ammo or guns are being used for hunting or not. That's the meat and potatoes of the pitman Robertson act.
