Deer were being trapped, killed on Tulsa County property, game wardens say

TULSA COUNTY, Okla. – A man has pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay more than $10,000 in fines and restitution after game wardens found an illegal deer trap on a Tulsa County property.

According to game wardens, in fall 2018, Game Warden Brandon Fulton was patrolling in a secluded area of Tulsa County when he noticed a “snare-style trap made using a tree near a residence.”

Fulton contacted the owner and informed him “it would be illegal to use such a trap on anything, including large animals such as deer. The snare had no sign of hair or blood on or around it,” game wardens said on Facebook.

The trap was removed by the owner.

Months later, on January 2, 2019, Fulton was patrolling the same area and noticed a trap-style net hanging from a tree on the same property.

Fulton noticed there were deer tracks and corn on the ground under the net, which had blood and deer hair in it, officials say. He also noticed a remote motion sensor pointed toward the net along with a release rope running from the net through a window in the home to trigger the trap.

A person in the home told Fulton the trap was built for wolves.

Officials said a search warrant was issued for the property and two illegal deer were found along with photo and video evidence of the crimes.

Game wardens say evidence showed “deer were being trapped alive, tied up, then taken into a building and killed.”

The maker of the trap, who was not identified, was charged with several violations of state law and commission regulations.

He did plead guilty to all charges and paid $10,300 in fines and restitution.

  1. It’s really disturbing to me that people can act out their sick fantasies on unprotected wildlife. People are in danger from lunatics like this too, but few care about the welfare of other living creatures. There’s hunting, and then there’s this sick kind of sh*t.

  2. “Fulton says a man had a motion sensor pointed toward the net. He says a release rope ran from the net through a window in house and triggered the trap.

    The game warden says the man tied up a buck, took it into his garage and tried to get the deer to fight with a buck skull before he killed it.

    He says the man also trapped and tied up a doe.”

    Sick f*ck. He was toturing them. God only knows what happened with the doe. Sicko, and glad he was fined heavily. A hunter turned him in. Too bad he didn’t kick his ass too.

  3. If you have the stomach for it and watch the video, there’s a spotlight, which is illegal to hunt with, so this pos commits multiple crimes, and I am glad he has been stopped. So glad he was fined thousands and I hope he is in great financial pain, if not physical pain.

    There’s even a hunting light for coyotes called the Coyote Reaper. Can you just imagine? Why does society allow this, sick glee at killing things?

  4. I’m still fuming about the colossal gall and hubris of these self-appointed ‘grim reapers’ of coyotes. What else would the demi-gods think, of course, than the appointer of life and death for other beings they deem lesser. Well, when the real Grim Reaper comes knocking for them, the world will be a better place!
