Скачать или смотреть "Hunting Trespass: When 'Permission' Isn't Permission - A Missouri Case" Vid 2

This video is the second in a series documenting a real-life case of hunting trespass in Missouri. It serves as a public record and an educational example for landowners and hunters on the importance of proper hunting authorization.

*The Core Issue:* In Missouri, *only the landowner or lessee can grant permission to hunt on private property* . With over 93% of the state's land being privately owned, this rule is a cornerstone of hunting regulations . Permission from anyone else, including a relative of the landowner, is not valid. This video captures the aftermath of a hunter entering land based on unauthorized permission from a non-owner.

*The Legal Context:*
Knowingly entering private property to hunt without the landowner's consent is a violation of state law and can result in a *Class B misdemeanor* .
Conviction can lead to the loss of hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges .
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) clearly states: "**if you don't own it or do not have permission from the person who does own it, you shouldn't be there. This includes retrieving your deer if it crosses property lines**" .

*Documented in This Video:*
Communication with the Saline County Sheriff's Office and a Missouri Game Warden.
The Game Warden's identification of the individual, noting the hunter had a prior history, including running from law enforcement.
Placement of a formal notice on the unauthorized hunter's vehicle, as directed by the actual landowner, Tom Phillips.
Discussion of the process with **Operation Game Thief**, the MDC's hotline for reporting wildlife violations.

*For Landowners:* This situation shows the correct steps to take when dealing with a trespasser: avoid confrontation and immediately contact local law enforcement or the Missouri Department of Conservation. The authority to have an unauthorized vehicle towed from private property is a legal option for landowners to explore with law enforcement .

*For Hunters:* Always *get permission directly from the landowner* each year before you hunt . Be aware that landowners can legally mark their boundaries with purple paint on trees or posts, which serves as a legally binding "no trespassing" notice in Missouri .
