WASHBURN, N.D. - A Georgia hunting guide and dog trainer has lost his
hunting and trapping privileges for 12 years and has been ordered to pay
nearly $9,000 for breaking state wildlife laws.
Ferris "Bo" Taylor, of Pavo, Ga., was sentenced Wednesday in McLean
County on misdemeanor charges of guiding without a license, exceeding
the waterfowl possession limit, illegal possession of hen pheasants and
misrepresentation in applying for a North Dakota hunting license.
State game warden Ken Skuza and warden supervisor Daryl Kleyer said
earlier that an October search of a Douglas-area farm owned by Taylor
turned up 351 whole ducks in freezers and three hen pheasants.
Authorities also said Taylor falsely claimed to be a North Dakota
resident in applying for a license.
The hunting and trapping restrictions in Taylor's sentence will
extend to other states, including his home state, authorities said.
He was ordered to pay $8,775 to state Game and Fish Department
programs.
Judge Bruce Haskell also ordered the suspension of Taylor's dog
training privileges in North Dakota for 12 years, and put him on
unsupervised probation.
