Why wouldn’t they be?

Of course they are fair game. What do they expect you to lasso it and bring it back?

If you lost this buck these lucky hunters found it. AWESOME buck that was taken in Area 6 two days ago. Can you imagine? I wonder where #1-51 are and for that matter what do they look like?
Harvesting an animal that has gotten loose from a high-fence ranch in Louisiana is illegal. It's defined on the books as "cattle rustling". Call the LA Dept. of Agriculture and see for yourself. I would try to identify the owner, and settle this situation amicablly if possible. Because theoretically, if the owner of this buck sees this post with the photos, and he can figure out who you are, he can press charges if he chooses to. In turn, the owner of this buck also could have been held accoutable if someone would have struck it with their car. He is liable for your property damage and any other damages his animal would have caused.

Inside the fence they’re fare game. Outside they’re fair game.

And I would try and blast that deer. No way am I calling up some bigshot and telling him I saw what might've been one of his deer.

A woman in Moss Bluff a few years back shot a massive whitetail that had escaped from a pen, I believe she wasn't charged with anything and I think everything the owner of the deer tried to get her to pay for it was also denied. If I remember correctly the deer owner may have been fined due to not reporting the animal was missing to LDWF.

That was from 2005.
The deer got loose during Katrina when a tree fell on high fence.
Bring on sept hurricanes!

I'm not a hunter, but what fun is it hunting animals you know are fenced in?
Posted on 9/15/18 at 12:58 pm to impjr
Hope all of them escape

I'd cut that ear tag out. In Texas I believe they view all white tails as belonging to the state. It's pretty easy for game wardens to come in and revoke a breeders license and haul off all of his deer.

I killed 2 black buck antelope escapees in Natchez years ago, the owner of the high fence down the road knew they escaped and let everyone around know to shoot them onsite, I did

There's no way they could get you on anything. Unless it had a collar or a giant tag hanging out of its ear, then maybe. The burden of proof would be on the owner proving that you knew it was one of his "livestock". I've hunted high fence places before and asked the ranch manager what they do if deer get out. He said some of the ones get killed and there's not much they can do to prove that the hunter knew it was one of theirs. He said it sucks but he'd do the same thing if he was in the hunters place.

I don’t think that’s right
I had a red stag on camera a few years ago. Called a WL&F agent and he told me shoot on sight. Even if my headlights shine on it pulling in my driveway at midnight.
I know they are non native species but pen raised deer aren’t supposed to get out no matter what type they are. If someone owns a high fence they can’t just open a gate and say screw it. They have to be euthanized or sold.

I used to hunt a lease around Junction TX. It was a non high fence lease, but it was sandwiched on 3 sides by high fences with high dollar whitetails and exotics. I ended up with quite a few nice animals that escaped the high fences. Being suprised by what walked out of the bush was the best part of hunting there.

I know the former owner of the deer and one of my favorite past times is giving him shite about it. I won’t say their name but they own Final Touch. To my knowledge, he didn’t really try to go after them for anything. He just accepted the loss. He claimed it was a $20,000 loss.
