Celebrity Tennessee Hunter Facing Federal Indictment

Chattanooga Fishing Forum

Help Support Chattanooga Fishing Forum:

I've never heard of him either, but I don't trophy hunt. What a shame the lure of the trophy is so insane that some will stoop to these levels. I know innocent till proven and all that, but man what idiot would believe they have been working this case for 5 years without some serious evidence.
 
All I can say is wow at someone who is supposed to be the epitome of a sportsman and lead a good example by his tv show and to do things like this. If you break the law to get your goal, whether its fish or deer or whatever for that matter you are no sportsman.

I would love to catch a 15 pound bass or a 100 pound spoonbill but if I knew I broke the law to do it I would not feel like I had accomplished something by doing it. I just dont know where they can get theyre feeling of self worth cheating to do something. That would be just like cheating in a bass tourney and winning, what would you really win nothing because you have to live with yourself.

There are a lot fewer true sportsman out there than people that want you to think they are true sportsman.

We have people like this on our lake and in our woods that are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their final goal by any means nessecary.

That being said I have met some great guys on this forum and just on the water or at Bentons just picking up something for a guy, there are great guys out there but there are also a lot of idiots like this guy and worse.

The way I read it he just had the wrong permit.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Some people just get off trying to be sneaky, because they think they are so much smarter than everyone else. That may not be the case here, but we all have met people who would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand there and tell you the truth. emoEnforce
 
If it was intentional it came back and bit him, but to be honest ive hunted out of state and its easy to get out of the unit you were suppose to be in, there are not any signs saying stop here your in wrong area.
 
The stupid Feds make up crap all the time. Their just after some money. Probably just an honest mistake. He's probably done more for hunting than most of us. I know I have watched him take Mtn. Goats and Sheep before and those permits don't come cheap.
 
Most will never know the real story, but i could care less either way. Its just another way they can bash hunters in the eyes of nonhunting public because he is a celebrity. I hope this doesn't hurt as much as "they" hope it does, because I like his shows and think he probably does alot for the sport. Carry on Spook Nation!
