Uuhhhoooooo, Looks like ole Spook did not take that no hunting for six months seriously. http://outdoorchanneloutfitters.com/Blog.aspx?id=6915Jail Time for William (Spook) Spann Posted By Outfitters Newswire on 08/01/2013 09:53:06 AM Original Article Posted by The Outdoor Wire KANSAS CITY, KS- A professional hunter from Tennessee violated his federal probation and must spend a total of 30 days in Bureau of Prisons custody, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Wednesday. U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. O'Hara ruled that William "Spook" Spann, 50, Dickinson, TN violated the conditions of his release after his conviction for a misdemeanor Lacey Act violation in Kansas. O'Hara's order states that Spann: - Continues on probation until Feb. 28, 2016. - Is ordered to spend a total of 30 days during nights and weekends in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons between now and Feb. 28, 2014. - Is ordered not hunt anywhere in the United States or the world until Aug. 1, 2014. Last year, Spann pled guilty to transporting across state lines a white-tailed deer that was unlawfully taken in Stafford County, Kan. As part of the probation he was prohibited from hunting for six months, admonished not to commit any further federal crimes and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and $10,000 restitution. On June 10, the federal probation office in Kansas filed a petition alleging Spann violated his probation by hunting in Tennessee and violating a Tennessee law against baiting wildlife. O'Hara ruled that Spann violated the terms of his probation by hunting in the United States within six months of his sentencing and baiting turkeys in violation of Tennessee state law. Grissom commended the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency and Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Oakley for their work on the case.

Man...that is sad. He makes TV hunters look bad. It is another reason I stopped doing it...people would do anything, high fence hunting, baiting, shooting on other peoples property...all to get the BIGGEST buck on film, so they could get the sponsors dollar. The honest, fair chase, ethical hunters have it hard to compete with the "anything to get a bigger buck" crowd.

OK.....Did I misread something here????? Which was it???????????
- Is ordered not hunt anywhere in the United States or the world until Aug. 1, 2014.
OR
As part of the probation he was prohibited from hunting for six months,
Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

It would suit me if they never allowed him to hunt again, BUT how does the Gubmint have the authority to tell someone they can't hunt anywhere in the world?

He didn't make his money off hunting his family is well off from a construction or timber business I believe. My old college roommate teaches his boy basketball lessons. From what I got from him his old camera man turned him in and told the GW about him baiting and guiding several high profile athletes/ music folks on turkey hunts. Can't believe he did this stuff, sounds like the ends justify the means and he ain't gonna be hunting for awhile.
We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!

Haha now he's got street cred. Atleast he's got his music career to fall back on now.
