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".

DLauw, your right he didn't go after the girl for that deer at all. But ldwf just had to do a basic investigation is all to make sure it was legit. No fines or fees were assessed. Hard enough pill to swallow when you take a $15-20k hit on a breeder buck.

That's why you jack them off and freeze semen for a rainy day.

If a cow breaks through my neighbor’s fence and wanders onto my land, did I just hit the beef jackpot?

Is a whitetail deer considered livestock and not wildlife? If not, you are comparing apples and oranges.

On a related note, if my aunt had a dick, she’d be my uncle.

but a buck that lived its life in a fenced area had very little pressure. if you know that was an high fenced buck that you are shooting outside fence... i mean i would probably pull the trigger but its kinda gay.

This is an absurd argument because the difference between catching a cow and catching a deer is night and day. Sure some high fence are super tame, but for the most part good luck catching a high fence buck.

There's no way you could fine or charge someone for shooting a high fence deer outside of the fence. I have never looked at a buck for any sort of collar or tags.

If I'm buck hunting I usually take a quick count of tines on one side, look at their height and mass, and maybe their spread.

I'm not doing a neck and ear check ever. Bow hunting is a little different as you sometimes have time as you are waiting for them to get closer and they are also within 50 yards. But rifle hunting if a buck is at 150+ yards I'm not worried about doing a full body inspection.

Not if it’s a dairy cow.

Would a $25k breeder buck with a big tag hanging off its ear be considered livestock?

So is the same owner responsible for when said deer escapes from the high fence, crosses a road, and runs in front of a car killing a mother and her two kids?

The deer is fair game

I didn't see no tag officer. That hole in its ear is probably from some poor bastard with buck fever.
