rancilio Report post Posted August 28, 2015 No speculation. Guilty. The guy was cited for trespassing by the sheriff and it is unclear what AZGFD is pursuing, if anything. He changed his story about shooting it "over there and then it ran over here where I had to go on private land... I mean, private land, how could I know it is private." The guy is CHAMP and using it to shoot from the roadway which is clearly wrong. Without speculating too much on the validity of his CHAMP, he drives, although on expired plates, and apparently is ok enough to supervise or manage 3 kids while driving around searching for deer that hang out roadside. Jerk! From AZGFD: A Challenged Access/Mobility Permit (CHAMP) authorizes the holder with a severe permanent disability to take wildlife from a motor vehicle if it is off the roadway and the engine is off and a watercraft as long as the watercraft is not underway.

dchamsr06 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 So if the land isn't posted it could be a legal kill. Maybe he was feeding his kids? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rancilio Report post Posted September 7, 2015 The land is very clearly posted, no question as to the status of this private property that does not allow trespassers and does not allow hunting. His methods of killing this deer are not about CHAMP. He broke the law and showed the kids what to do and what happens when nobody sees it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
