At least that's what a judge (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/092206dnmethunter.12f1a9a.html) said today.


An Ellis County [EH: just south of Dallas county] man has been ordered by a judge to keep the noise down on his property during deer season after he was found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of disrupting hunters.

An Ellis County jury found Galen Morris, 38, guilty on Tuesday of violating one count of the state Sportsman's Rights Act. He was found not guilty of a second, similar charge.

The judge in the case ordered Morris to make sure his children don't disturb hunters on a neighboring property by playing loud music or driving four-wheelers before noon or after 4 p.m. during deer season, which starts in November. Morris was also issued a $250 fine and a year of probation.

I don't know the history behind all of this, but my instinct would be to tell the judge and the hunters to blow it out their a$$. Then I would set up speakers all over the property and blast the Rolling Stones and The Who until ears would be bleeding. :-D

seems to me that this wouldn't hold up in any court other than the local one...

If you would take your head out of Richard Deans ass for a second you would know it is illegal to interfere with hunters in about every state.

Even on your own land.

And the logic of this is...?

Why shouldn't I be able to "interfere" with hunters that are on my land? If they were on my land then they'd have to have my permission in the first place, so ... yea I don't get it.

I think people hunt on the land next to his.

I'd consider that a law that allows hunters to interfere with the lives of those around them. Walking behind them rattling cow bells to scare deer away is one thing (which I'm sure intentional actions like that have something to do with this), but telling people they can't do things they would normally do on their own property is BS, IMHO.

Actually isnt the key phrase "intentional interference"?

That's a good one, whoever came up with that law should be a stand up comedian.
