Long story short, a guy shot a deer illegally on NF land bordering my property and the deer ran onto my land before it died. I caught the guy on camera and reported it. Green jean came out to the property and attempted to write me a ticket for illegally placed no trespassing signs. He claimed they were not “reasonably placed”.

I told him you found them and the fricking deer can’t read.

Anyway, these douchebags with their high and tight hair cuts pretending they’re on their way to fight terrorists are out of control. I tried to do the right thing by providing them with information they could use to capture a poacher and they decided they were going to thank me by writing a bullshite ticket

Like most cops, their job is to generate revenue

WTF does this even mean? Are you in a state that requires them to be able to charge for trespassing?

shite like this is why folks are hesitant to report poaching. no good dead goes unpunished

Put your signs 5 ft up from the ground and use purple paint on trees, posts, or whatever your using for a property line marker

Met a guy who cleaned a deer that was killed on NF land. He was the local bring your deer to me and I'll clean it for you guy. He didn't know where the deer was killed, just doing this kid a favor. GW found out about it and gave him a ticket for abetting the perp and other shite. I told him he needs to call whoever is in charge of prosecution and plea your case. He doesn't get paid to clean the deer, he does it because he has the set up to do this. He paid a fine but most of the other bull shite was dropped.

As someone else said, most of them are there to collect revenue and collect a pension. It's sad but true. I know some great LEOs but I know a large amount of them don't care. I had a LEO come into Bowie when I worked there and was asking me about new proposed gun control laws. I was telling him "well, they can pass what they want but good cops just won't enforce any of it". And he said "well we have to listen to our superiors, we have families and mouths to feed". I was pissed.

I hate to say it because it really shouldn't be like this but........ Never ever never invite green jeans onto your property. They have become irresponsible in their enforcement techniques the last couple of decades.

Moral of the story...Don't ever report anything to green jeans. It's an invitation for them to snoop around and write tickets.

the lie is that they care about and are there to protect the resources.

they have one job only, to collect revenue and give out as many tickets as they can any time they can.

i called to report poachers running illegal gill nets in lafourche and they were only questioning me about where i was and what i was doing rather then asking anything about the illegal netters so i just told them they have all the info i can provide about the outlaws they seemed to not care about and i hung up.

another time i called about finding at least a dozen dead pelicans washed up on shore in one spot and it was very odd. but once again, every question was all about me and what i was doing, rather then about the birds and the area they could be found.

they are not your friends, and never will be, do nothing to intentionally go anywhere near them, and for damn sure never call them for anything.

Was the Animal Planet film crew with him?



If you didn't get fined, we'll never see it.

What state are you in? I thought it was no longer required to even post signs. If it's not yours, don't go on it.

Game Warden is probably in with the guy illegally shooting deer, he’s trying to send you a message.

ETA: A message to back off the reporting
