HENRY WASZCZUK & ITALO LABIGNAN
Old news guys,, I would suggest we ease up on them. They have paid for their crimes.
http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/csb/news/apr3bnr98.html
Both have TV shows,, Henry down in Florida and Italo somewhere in Canada I think.
They are not evil guys,, and the world is full of real evil.

I am not positive but I think Noel Feather had the same kind of thing happen. I think his was a deer shot in a pen some place and an out of state tag put on it. the credibility of the hunter has to be finished after that?
Well, we kicked one "high profile" hunter/outdoor writer/bullsh@#$er off some property a couple years ago, just before he popped a nice 7x6 mulie.......told us he had permission. Didnt realize the owner of the property was with me......
Like dad says :
"IF you shoot one trophy deer, you are a lucky hunter.
IF you shoot two trophy deer, you are a very good hunter.
IF you shoot three or more trophy deer, you are a poacher."

check out this video of Jimmy houston( pro angler) hunting deer as they are pushed around a small pen by humans, and bouncing off of the fences.
its the third video.
whilke your at it watch all of them, including the drugged up buck who was shot with a blunt arrow, or the dying buck propped up by a log and shot for $15,000

hmmmm, 1/2 mile outside of a stateline? You guys are ready to lynch? Sounds to me like there might be a second side to this story.

Now for the rest of the story...................
I am Glen Berry and I would like to make this statement so all will know the truth. Until you have dealt with Fish and Wildlife you have no idea what I've been through. I would have the same opinion as most of you of a violator before this happened.
The events start on Sept. 16, 2005. My son, a good friend of mine, and myself arrive in unit 59 of Idaho and set up camp at Middle Fork Bench. We plan on bowhunting elk in Montana by accessing Montana through Mill Fork Canyon of Middle Creek Road, which is located in Idaho. The end of Middle Creek Road stops less than 1/2 mile from the Montana border. It is easier to access this area through Idaho, than it is through Montana. We were hunting in Montana for 2 1/2 days by accessing exactly the same way and were getting into several bulls. On the afternoon of Sept. 18 we had split up and Chad went with my friend. I walked up into a patch of timber. Suprisingly enough I spooked a herd of elk, with a 6x6 bull trailing a few cows. The bull stopped on the ridge, and gave me enough time for a shot. The herd ran over top into Idaho. I was unable to find my arrow and was unsure if I hit the bull. I met back up with Chad and my friend, and it was almost dark. The elk we had been hunting had moved further east into Montana. We decided that we were going to move camp the next day to hunt a different area, but decided we should make one more attempt to assure the bull I shot at hadn't been hit. On the morning of Sept. 19 we slept in until 7:00 a.m. and drove up Middle Creek Road. We parked the vehicle in the same place we had the previous 3 days. I decided to access Montana by walking up a drainage in Mill Fork Canyon to the east, since I wanted to return to the area I had shot at the bull in Montana the afternoon before, and this was the best way. We began walking up the drainage, when Chad said he was going to go to the bathroom and would catch up. My friend and myself continued up the drainage and heard a bull on the border. When I reached the very top of the ridge, a 6x6 bull stuck his head up. Thinking it was the same bull I had shot the previous afternoon, I shot the bull and the hit was in the neck. The bull ran down the 60 degree slope into Idaho. I recovered the bull approximately 400 yards into Idaho. I had shot the bull, and it appeared to have cut the bulls wind pipe. I was confused what to do, because although I had shot the bull in Montana, it had died in Idaho. I knew what the right thing to do was, and began to put my Montana tag on the bull, when my friend suggested I go buy an Idaho tag, because it wasn't worth taking a chance. Since we were packing the bull out through Idaho, and going to transport the bull out on the only dirt road, which was in Idaho, if by some chance we were stopped by a game warden and the bull has a Montana tag on it, and the game warden requests to go to where the bull died, it would be in Idaho, and then we would have to prove that the bull was shot in Montana. Against my better judgement, I decided to buy an Idaho tag, which was over-the-counter. When we returned with the tag, I realized that something was up, when a sheriff and the game warden had both went by our camp. Realizing that I had not tagged the bull immediately I was in big trouble. I was questioned and arrested. I signed a consent to search affadavit for the camera bag, my truck, and my trailor. They found no video tapes of the event because there were no video tapes. I plead guilty to all four charges although I hadn't shot the bull in Idaho. I knew it was the right thing to do because I hadn't put my tag on it immediately and took possession of the bull. To me it really doesn't make a difference if you have 2 or 3 or 4 violations, if you have one violation you are a violator. So, I decided against fighting the hunting without a tag charge and plead guilty to all four. I know that the witness said he saw me shoot the bull in Idaho. To let you know he changed that statement under oath at my review stating that he first saw us when we were at the bull, where it had died. For five to ten minutes he watched us. When we had left, he went down to the bull with another friend and saw it was untagged. This is when they called fish and game because they believed it had been illegally taken. The witnesses took dna samples and gps coordinates of where the bull was found dead. The game warden never went to examine the bull or the site, or tried to figure out what really happened. My son was also charged with unlawful possession. He was not hunting, he did not have a weapon in camp, and was only there to help. He never touched or took possession of this animal, until the game warden requested Chad and my friend to retrieve the bull so it would be salvaged. He made no decisions on the taking of this bull verbally or physically. I had an Idaho hunting license. If I wanted to hunt the Beaverhead zone, I would of simply bought a $370.00 tag.
I have been bowhunting for 33 years and have never had a game violation. I have made it a point never to take the easy route. I made a mistake, and paid my price. I spent 30 days in jail, and paid just over $3,000 in fines. I also received 3 years loss of hunting rights in 23 states and am currently on probation. I was given such a stiff penalty not because of what I did, but who I am. Assumptions were made and they felt I was trying to profit off the state of Idaho, by intentionally hunting and attempting to film a hunt illegally, which is not the truth. I do not hunt exclusively in front of a video camera. I am a family man, who enjoys hunting with my daughter, my son, and my friends, the same way I did 30 years ago. I have never considered myself a celebrity. The people I deal with at sport shows or seminars have always looked up to me because I have always came across as a down-to-earth, average guy, who likes to hunt. Maybe some people make millions off hunting videos and outdoor t.v. shows, but I have never made very much money from t.v. or videos. I have built a business around my game call company. People know my morals and my character. I have been doing this for 23 years. I know what happened out there and I am not going to hang my head with shame. I know I have made a mistake, but I feel people should be entitled to atleast one mistake in their life. This is the first time I have ever hunted near a state line, and not had tags for both states. To the organizations I belong to and the individuals who support me, I would like them to take in consideration what I have contributed to the sport of archery and bowhunting over the past 23 years. I ask them to judge my character for who I am, not one unfortunate incident.

Glenn , I guess it's easy for all of us to sit at our computers and judge someone by only hearing one side of the story. Thanks for shedding the light on your side of the story. The sad thing is that there are people proffiting from shady hunting practices all the time and to the real sportsman this is a thorn in the side. Every hunter who truely loves our sport would love to have this sport as a job, such as yourself. So maybe envy is our motivation for the quick lynching?
That being said, it would seem that there has to be more to this story? I appreciate your candid response, but I think if it were me I would try to prove my innocence a little harder. The fines are minimal so who cares but 30 days in jail. I couldn't just say guilty and be locked up over a simple mistake of not knowing if you should tag that animal? This judge must have had it in for you to not have any evidence and still charge you with everything? How did they know who you were?

Oh I am sorry I am not Glen Barry this is copied from his response to many threads on this subject simply telling his side of the story.
He from what I gather felt that he was in the wrong and took the punishment.
His son who was in camp and not hunting is still before the courts at last report, also charged. This is a not guilty plea.
There is more to this story than just a poaching as it appears that the Wildlife Dept has not got a shinny reputation.
A lot of us could have been charged similarly while hunting near boarders.
Myself I have been below the boarder by 12 miles hunting Antelope near Val Marie.
There are just no lines out there and it was long before GSP's.
The Warden was very kind and told us that this happened both ways.
If he had wanted to we could have been charged as Barry was.
For the Hang em High crowd go out in the country and lay out a 1/2 a mile and you will see this not a great distance. Now in the Mountains this could be one valley.
