Well I finally asked my lawyer buddy I mentioned earlier whom also happens to be the property owner what he thought about all this. He says that I may be able to get out of two of the three tickets, however, depending on what mood the judge is in, the fine could still be 3 tickets worth in amount. My court date isn't until the season is over in late January so I'm not too sure if this is good or bad.

From What you've said, I believe you'll be found guilty. Ignorance is no excuse. Is this a MA or do you have the option of paying the fine? If you can pay, I believe I would take the high road on this one and not $#@up for 3 years. I shot a nice 8 or10 on Friday that crossed the fence to an adjacent Property. Iwent to ask the landowner for permission to retrieve which is the law. He would not grant it so as far as I know The deer is stll laying there. What a magnificent waste!

shoot back at spot lights. when wardens come tell them you took care of it and to get off your property.

Do you really think anyonewill take you seriously posting crap like that?
baerstopper,
I hope you do not listen to the above post from Eastern va. Go to the local sheriff's office and speak with the sheriff or contact the supervisor at the regional vdgif office. Have your dates and times of when you called and who you talked to. I would really be suprised if you did not get results. Be polite and calm but make sure they understand you are serious andfeel like you are being given the old "run around."

That is why I recommendedin my previous postgoing to the sheriff in person and explaining your problem. I would give him the dates, times and names of the officers you spoke with who stated they would come fill out a report. Just curious, but when you contacted the game wardens and the sheriff's office, how did you contact them? Did you call 911or did you call the local office?

Eastern va,
Last time I checked this was a public message board. If you do not like people posting replies to your posts then there is a very simple solution. Do not post!I am entitled to my opinionjust as you are entitled to yours. I'm sure if we took a poll, you would find that the vast majority of people would not recommend for someone to "shoot back at spotlights."
