ROCKVILLE, Ind. – Two Indiana women were filming a TV show when they were cited for allegedly using bait to hunt deer, according to Fox59.
Now, Jody L. Davies, 47, and Sarah Ross, 32, are facing multiple counts of hunting deer with the aid of bait as well as charges for an illegally taken deer.
Conservation officers say the charges are the result of an extensive investigation conducted over the past three years.
DNR says multiple baited stands have been identified and documented on hunting properties used by the women in both Parke and Putnam counties beginning in 2015.
Officers say Davies has been featured on social media and in articles with many prominent outdoor magazines in reference to the two trophy class whitetail bucks she killed in 2015 and 2016, both of which were harvested during the investigation. She also reportedly films for a hunting TV show.
Officers want to remind hunters that all substances placed for animal consumption, along with any affected soil, must be completely removed from the hunting area at least ten days prior to the hunting.

Ha! That’s equality for you. I don’t know what’s going on lately, but the anti-poaching officers are really on their game. Fantastic!
Anti-poaching officers are on their game for two reasons.
1) They are trying to put good face to hunting and present it as a moral ‘sport’ to the public.
2) It is beneficial for the local governments to stop poachers from killing without paying for the kill.
The hunters are trying to show themselves as the good guys. The ‘good’ hunters are the twisted bunch who claim they love the animals they kill. They even have a so called wildlife organization, ‘national wildlife federation’ in their pockets. So they are throwing a few crumbs in public’s direction to make their killings, respectable.
Furthermore, now that local wildlife rangers have the approval of the ‘good’ hunters, they are happy to stop the unpaid killings, A.K.A poaching. As I said why give the animals’ live away for free when they can charge for it.
“Officers want to remind hunters that all substances placed for animal consumption, along with any affected soil, must be completely removed from the hunting area at least ten days prior to the hunting.” O WOW that makes such a difference. Feed the poor animals and then one day when they come by kill them. Immoral, sick, twisted Mother f’kers.
So they have been investigating for three years and multiple animals were killed. If they get off without severe penalties, then what good were the investigations, aside from taking their licenses, etc.
I like how when it’s a crime against animals they can drag their heals for 3 years or more, but if it was against a human….
Another component of this matter is the never- ending need of people to see themselves on social and mainstream media. Self- absorbed is a prevalent quality today: selfies, ” adore me” underwear, I( its all about me)phones, etc, etc.
Additionally, and I think Jim has discussed this topic before, is the unscrupulous and often cruel manner in which ” wildlife photographers” go about their daily business . We should stop oohing and aahing every piece of propaganda put out by even such publications as National Geographic, especially when the animals involved were used as props.
I include a chapter on ethical wildlife photography in my book, Exposing the Big Game.
I have a copy of your book Jim. I am very glad there is someone like you around with the courage to speak up and out for the animals; especially in this toxic “macho” ( males and females included) culture.
Thank you and I’m glad you’re enjoying the book.
It’s a wonderful book. I keep it on my coffee table for reference. We need more books like this and one of my other favorite books by Ron Baker, The American Hunting Myth.
Yes, and I’m glad they do because it’s the only thing that will nail them, their need for attention.
