THP / Fine / Warden

[arkrem870]

I despise all influencers/social media driven turkey foolishness.

But I believe the people that make the calls on Mississippi turkey hunting are taking things too far.

When they shut out my children from youth hunting because I cant seem to draw their pre April 1  permit I lost a lot of respect for them.

I agree with Gobblenut, license, hell I got all kinds of "license".  They need to be specific!

I see it all the time with hunting regs, wording is vague and confusing.

THP will pay the fine and move on like most, any local should go to court!

Be interesting if post season someone would submit a FOI request to see the number cited for this violation.

99 % sure that we have the same law in Georgia.

Anyone accompanying a hunter must have a valid license

Arkansas hunters were worse for the public land near me than any influencer has ever been.  Glad they slowed them down!

When you have watched a video of a turkey killing on the web, you have seen it all.  When you have personally had a turkey at thirty yards or, preferably closer, you have "experienced" the ultimate that nature offers you.  My opinion.

Almost be afraid to mosey around a MS or GA National Forest with a camera during any hunting season. Revenue enhancement at it's finest.

While it is a new reg, and perhaps a warning would suffice , knowing they would have simply just bought a license . I must admit.... We are in the era of influencers and everybody and their mother wanting to film everything all the time . Can't say I blame the state for wanting to capitalize on the opportunity for the money of making people who are creating content "for the money" buy a license ......if you aid in exploiting the resource then what's the problem in the state aiding in exploiting your pocket book.

I agree with you; I believe the wording could have been better. Hunting or non-hunting guest needs a hunting license or just have a filming fee for commercial filming on Public Land

I'm guessing the guy who got the ticket wasn't drawn for the early non-res permit so a valid license wasn't available to him at the time.

That's correct. Same restriction applies to me taking my child on youth hunt. I didn't draw so therefore I can't assist my child. So we can't hunt at all.

[Shiloh]

Not exactly correct👆🏼

[arkrem870]

Not exactly correct👆🏼

How is that?

[Shiloh]

Just saying Paulmyr's assumption about what happened was not exactly correct.

He could have bought his hunting license. Nothing about the availability of it.
