Woman in Orange Vest Fires Pistol While Harassing Deer Hunter in Ohio

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I guess this could go in the hunting/outdoor forum.

”“I will be a hunter’s nightmare.” That’s what an Ohio woman in blaze orange yelled before she fired a gun in a wooded neighborhood of Portage County. Her neighbor, legally hunting deer on his own property, recorded the confrontation…”

The hunter told a local media outlet that the woman was trying to protect the deer by firing her gun and screaming during his recent hunt

The article says she was on someone else’s property. If without permission, then throw the book at her. If she had permission then as long as she wasn’t endangering other people she can act as whackadoodle as she wants, eh?

If in Indiana wouldn't she be guilty of a ND? I wonder what Ohio law regarding the round being fired is?

Hunter harassment is illegal. She can be charged for what she did even if she had permission to be there.

I think you are correct, if this was in Indiana. I do not know what OH laws are on this.

Scanner app playing here most of the time. I hear the DNR CO's going on hunter harassment calls frequently.

Never have had that happen to me fortunately, I hunt pretty far out.

I get the hunter harassment law and all that. My problem is though, just what constitutes hunter harassment. Sure, cut and dried in this case, but one of my neighbors had somebody cuss them out and almost got violent because we were walking around on my neighbors property during bow season, doing forestry with the district forester, and didn’t even know somebody was hunting on the adjacent property. And of course they were hunting right on the property line. At what point is my target shooting on my property harassment on adjacent property? Yes, I said it before, this case was cut and dried.

Stated her intent...fired a gun, threating the safety of others with a firearm...harassment of hunters, etc,...sounds like she'll have plenty of time to sit around and (re)consider the stupidity of her life choices!

Most of the statutes include language on intent. If you were walking around doing forestry work/target shooting on your property with the intent to disrupt their hunt you'd be in violation. If you were out banging pots and pans waking the dead for their blessing, you would be in the clear. The simple fact that it was disruptive generally doesn't matter according to the law.

Intent is damn difficult to prove, unless you shout it loudly into a recording device.

What's the Indiana Code for an ND?

And why would it be "ND" if it was an intentional act? If she shot into the ground, no crime in IN just for the discharge. If she shot *at* him or near him, criminal recklessness up to attempt murder, depending. No way you'd get attempt murder here, though, were setting up an ambush on pursuing cops and firing at them is only crim reck with a deadly weapon. Just as Marion Co juries.
