Hooked on Utah, the show that this was to be featured on is scrambling fast and had lawyers threaten all the guys hosting the vid on Youtube with legal action due to copyright. They are in full scale damage control mode now. They are trying to bury it. Probably won't have much luck getting the Feds to destroy their copy though.
 
Here's the response from Hooked on Utah sent to a fella who had a link to the vid posted:

"No we are not happy! During the filming and editing of this show we did not see this happen, it wasn't until a friend of mine sent us an email letting me know he had see this issue, we immediately removed the videos and contacted the DWR . We "Hooked On Utah" are very conservation oriented, we always obey the state and federal laws on our show. This is a huge black eye for us to say the least! It's very unfortunate that the guides we chose for this outing did this on our show, had we seen this happen during filming we would never have aired the show, and we would have acted on it at that point. We have too much to lose to be associated with this kind stuff. At this point we have given the footage to the Utah DWR, we would ask that you take this link down! We have notified all of our show sponsors and we will be issuing a statement.

If you have questions about how serious we consider this matter and having this removed, please contact our Attorney Whit Johnson at Stoel Reives in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Thank you."
 
Are there not some seasons in particular States that allow unplugged guns?

I believe New Jersey is one of them?!

I could be wrong
http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/artmigratory09.htm

Scroll down "Permitted additional hunting methods during September seasons are the use of electronic calls, unplugged shotguns, extended hunting hours, and liberal bag limits. New Jersey has chosen to allow hunters to utilize these tools to help curb the growth of Resident Population geese in the state. Although these special regulations and liberal bag limits alone are not expected to solve the resident Canada goose overabundance problem in New Jersey, they remain part of an integrated approach to Canada goose management.

Correct, I was merely pointing out that to say 3 round max for migratory waterfowl cannot be used as a blanket rule. I really haven't read to far into other regulations in the USA but perhaps other states have this as well. Additionally, the ghost loading question/debate comes into play. Legally, he may have only had 2 rounds loaded into the magazine. The 4th could have been sitting in the elevator. Anyways, I am just as disturbed by this, Jeff Foiles always came across as a pure killem' kinda guy and was marketed to the black hoody killing crowd.
 
Guy shoots at a goose 4 times. Max you can have in your gun is 3 for migratory.

Different states and provinces have different wording in their regulations.Saskatchewan only requires that the magazine be plugged to hold no more than two rounds.Some shotguns will hold and cycle four rounds with only two rounds being in the magazine at one time.
 
And you are objecting to this how?

I wasnt raised to be a rat. I don't get all excited when I see a guy not wearing a seatbelt or talking on cell phone and report him to the cops either. Different thing if a guy is out poaching deer all year round or something like that but to get all horny and reved up over 4 shells in a shotgun....come on!!

What's the difference between poaching deer and poaching geese? How do you know he isn't out there all year doing the same? I'm sure he only poaches geese and not deer, he must be one of those ethical poachers. f:P:

Poaching is poaching.


I'm glad your wern't "raised to be a rat", how do you feel about child molesters?
 
There is supposed to be a plug in that shotgun,limiting it to three rounds.If the plug is out(a violation in itself),how many rounds did he have in the gun? These guys are poachers plain and simple,and deserve whatever punishment they get.The fact that they are poaching to make the videos look better and therefore for financial gain just makes it worse.

Wow, we went from an extra shell in a 12 guage to child molesters,,get a life clown. Keep the conversaion in perspective, I for one don't equate an extra shotshell in a shotgun on the same grounds as child molesters. "rat on" canadian zuk.

Both are breaking the law, that is the only perspective that matters. If you consider the two unrelated then I can understand where your lack of grammar comes from.

What's the matter, Foiles supposed to put you in a video out west?

An extra 12 guage shell and child molestation...yeah it goes hand and hand. You'd think in all your wisdom that you would figure out there's variying degrees of law breaking. You might think that an extra shell in a shotgun is equivelent to child molestation but I as well as the Canadian Justice system disagree. Lack of grammer....is that best you can do..or "put you in a video" come on LOL..:slap:

And now you taken it to name calling.

The point I was making is breaking the law is breaking the law. Foiles is accused of alot more than an extra shell in the gun. Where do you draw the line on what is "ok" to turn a blind eye to obviously to you this is ok, poaching is ok, just so long as it isn't deer all year long right? My point is, as ethical hunters and sportsmen we as a group cannot accept this kind of behavior from anyone in any shape or form. Poaching is poaching and the "fish cops" should be called, just as you would for a child molester.

Give your head a shake dude. Coming on here to stir up s**t completely ignoring the fact ANY law was broken is laughable. Resorting to name calling whilst pounding away on your keyboard like a chimp on amphetamines is not doing much to help your argument.

The entire premise of this discussion is an embarrassment to ethical hunters everywhere.

To equate having an extra shell in a shotgun vs a man molesting a child is about the stupidest thing Ive ever read on the forum.
