If anyone here hears of a PA yote that was shot in a trap close to the OH line there is a guy on archery talk that did it. Just did it today.

So driving home from work today I get near the PA/OH line and notice a coyote out in the field. I slow down and see it is stuck in a trap. Now I hate coyotes as much as the next guy but I hate traps even more. I hate seeing anything suffer, and this thing was pulling its tail off trying to get out of the trap. So I cross over into Ohio and go home to get my bow. Come back over to PA and walk 200 yds down into a POSTED field and put an arrow through this thing. So I’m sure I broke a few laws but I don’t really care, I hate seeing anything suffer. Was I right or wrong?

If someone could make the pgac aware as well because i dont believe the guy has a pa license either. Lets band together and let it be know we do not need this kind of "help"!

Good luck getting a Game and Fish officer to go through all the work of serving search warrants on an online forum for user data to include the IP addresses of the user, and then serving another on the Internet Service Provider to identify the user account holder information of that poster, and then getting them to go out to talk to the account holder and ascertaining whether or not they did it. Also you need the victim of the case, who's coyote was arrowed, to come forward, otherwise a crime was never committed to even begin investigating. Unless their is suspicion that the perpetrator lacks a license in that state. Either way, lots of work, and hi-tech work, for a game and fish officer.

That said, it would be nice for all those piece's to fall in to place and see someone charged for this sort of thing. People lack brain cells today, and putting an arrow in to a trapped coyote is just ridiculous. Also I'm not sure how that's any more humane of a dispatch then what most trappers do.

Read it. Everyone on the site told him he was wrong! Said he would take whatever, put his name there, may not use the language I'm thinking here.

Friend of mine traps the line though not all of it. He is well connected with the warden. Is the shooters name on the post?

Seems odd a bowhunter would have a problem with trapping. Most appreciate coyotes getting thinned out. Probably an anti on a hunting site and made the whole thing up.

I don't know...about 18 years ago, I was checking traps and my dad was along. I'd caught a small bobcat in a coyote set. this was at 8:30 am.

as we approached the 'cat, a bowhunter came out of the woods and said it's a good thing we came by when we did, because he was getting ready to "put it out of its misery" with a broadhead.

Idjet!

there was no open season on cats at the time.

Dad and I released it unharmed.

Crossing State lines to commit a wildlife crime may be a Federal Lacey Act violation. Whether or not you have to take the wildlife back across the State line I'm not sure about.

Well hopefully he can get prosecuted. It would be a happy ending to a story. So many trappers take a beating and justice is hardly ever served. If they would start prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law things like this would be less common. I'm sure theres a pile of no, no's here but when it's all said and done half of more will get dropped and he'll get a slap on the wrist.

Hopefully something does happen. If it doesn't it's outright ridiculous. He broke alot of laws and bragged about it on a public forum. The proof is already there, all law enforcement has to do is follow up.

Trouble is that he lives in Ohio and this happened in PA. They will probably have to wait until they can get him in the state, if they get off their arses and do anything at all.

That's the kind of case where the Feds come in. That would make me really worry; the Feds...much worse consequences if they were to pursue the case and prosecute.

Sorry I have not posted much on this. I was hunting when I saw his post and told him he was wrong and then made this thread. Then had some deer come in and shot a doe so I been busy taking care of her. It really chaps my arse that he did what he did and thought it was fine.

Just seen the post where an admin said there was no harm no foul! So i guess poaching is not a foul unless it is a deer

Why did they delete his post if there is no foul then ?




Simplify your methods to the point of perfection.

Become fast,efficient & effective.

The real "SECRET" to successful trapping.

Here's his mugshot I found


Lives in Columbiana County on Dyke Rd below the dam on Lake Tomahawk. He is the Lead foreman for Honeywell in Fombell PA.

I had a post that got deleted from the thread. I guess they seem more concerned with keeping the thread on topic of Ohio rut updates.

So walking home from the line today I get near the property line and notice 3 tree stands out in the woods. I slow down and see they are stuck on perfectly good oaks. Now I hate tree stands as much as the next guy but I hate cripple sticks even more. I hate seeing anything suffer, and these things were strangling those trees for 2 years in a row. So I cross over into my place and go home to get my sp-10 . Come back over to the line walk 200 yds down into a POSTED woods and put several super duty copper buffered tri-loads through these things. So I’m sure I broke a few laws but I don’t really care, I hate seeing any live tree suffer. Was I right or wrong?

Well it seems the state of Pennsylvania doesn't really give a hoot. No law broken as far as they are concerned. State law doesn't allow for them to pursue trespassing charges unless the land owner files the complaint.

No laws against molesting legally set traps or animals caught in them in PA? That sucks.

Is the trapper who owns the trap a member on here? I was contacted by a PGC officer saying he has the trap and coyote. He is holding them for evidence in this crime. If the Trapper is a member, get with me and I will provide the name and phone number of the officer.

Glad to hear they may actually do something to him. I'm a regular visitor on Archerytalk but they definitely are about protecting their own with no regard to broken laws. I've been in numerous trapping related posts over there and trust me when I say we're the minority.

Just got off the phone with PGC. They now have all the I go that I posted earlier. Sounds like this could get interesting. Lady told me to expect a phone call back soon.

Maybe the trapper is still checking traps elsewhere, or-thinks it was simply stolen. If it's tagged, maybe he can't be reached-yet?

I am sure we have had posts on the same threads over there. It is like they only care about deer and it is ok to break laws unless it is for deer.

That would be harassment........ I don't think he really cares what trappers think, obviously. He has already made it pretty clear he doesn't care for trapping.

So I just got a phone call from the investigating officer. He told me he found the Trap and coyote and took it as evidence, as Paul stated. He also said that they have a detective in Fombell looking into this guys employment location. As well as a detective in Ohio working on pinpointing his residence. He told me that they have searched and cannot find a license for game issued to anyone in Negley. But without his actual name they can't be 100% certain. He said that he would be in touch very soon as they were going to interview him either at home or work. Sounds like they are working on a warrant for the ISP address from his home and cell phone to nail it down that he did in fact post all this himself, in case he denies any of this

He may not care and he may not reply but I pm'd him on AT and told him just how much of a low life piece of feces he was and told him people have been issued pop knots for screwing with legally set traps. Told him a few other things too but I'll leave those out. whistle

This is good news.

Can't help to think the fact this occurred while crossing state lines will rack up the dollars in fines. It shouldn't matter dollarwise, but it could provide a little more incentive to investigate and prosecute this scumbag if there is a hefty fine to collect.

Setnsteel you sir are top notch! I am glad I started this thread as I was in a blind hunting and couldnt have kept up with it as the posts unfolded on AT. Way to go everyone for pulling together and at least getting him a talk from a warden. I do hope it goes further than that and they hammer him just as I told him.

Just a small part. Sounds like there have been some anonymous calls made since his post. I just felt the need to dig. I'm a better PI than a trapper for sure. Idk why this chapped my behind but it did. Really struck a nerve seeing it snd then seeing his arrogant responses to people. Like it was normal for him. Which......it probably is. I'm hoping he's hung himself enough to have his hunting privileges revoked. That's what I'd like to see. Dollars are good but I feel he needs to lose his hobby for a bit. Just to prove a point.

I can't believe the PA game commission is actually doing something about it. Two years ago, I found a poached deer with it's head cut off, way after the season while I was trapping beaver. I reported it and never even got a call back from the local warden. Keep us posted!

"IF" this goes down the way it should , it will be wide spread news in today's social media ways .

Maybe others will see the consequences ,"if it does".

Thanks for your involvement and your updates Skippyturtle, SetNSteel and everyone else involved.

It's encouraging to here the PGC and local LEO's are investigating this, I hope they nail the guy.

I know WCO's here in PA get a bad rap sometimes but, in their defense, they are severely under-funded and undermanned. There hasn't been an increase in the cost of a hunting license, the commission's primary source of funding, in seventeen years. How many other agencies could survive, let alone do an effective job, with less funding than they were receiving in 1999?

Also, I have had three trapping related instances over the last several years involving trespassing dog-walkers, trap tampering and theft. All three times the PGC went to bat for me and resolved the incidents in my favor.

In my opinion, Pennsylvania Game Commission Wildlife Conservation Officers do the best they can with their extremely limited resources.

You guys that are critical of them, please email or write your legislators and tell them to release their financial stranglehold on the PGC. Let them know we do not want our nearly 1.5 million acres of State Game Lands turned over to the DCNR to provide hiking and biking trails for non hunters. That is their end game.


Eh...wot?

I do believe that PA and OH have a reciprocate law. If convicted in one state, loss of a hunting privilege, it also bars him from the other. May states have joined this.

My hat is off to you guys that helped get this investigated. I’ve known for a few years that LEO ‘ s have been using Facebook and the like to bust these dirt bags. I don’t know if they watch sites like this or if they would have checked this situation out without your help, so thanks again guys !

I absolutely love deer hunting and hunt way more than trap but I hate the mentality of most deer hunters that they are superior to trappers. As soon as I read what he did it set a fire in me and I knew this is the place and people that could nail the jackwagon. That is why I started the post.

Dang good job men. I read this whole thread. Can't believe the cat posted it and admitted he knew he broke the law and didn't care. Shows he ain't real bright. An education costs money. And maybe hunting privileges. Its tuff going through life stupid.

I was really hoping to see an update! Y'll know I don't fur trap, but I trap nonetheless. It doesn't matter to me whether you're trapping nuisance wildlife, feral/dangerous dogs, or fur. We ALL deserve to have our legally set equipment, (and any animal contained) untouched, unharmed and unmolested. Most states have something on the books for this, I know mine does. I put the "messing with traps" statute on my trap tags. I hope this guy faces a heaping helping of not so Christmas-y cheer. What a jerk.

Best punishment he could get would be for him to lose all hunting rights....

Typical attention seeking turd, why else would he post it on an open forum....

Great job to all that had a part in getting this info to the law.....

Don't mess with the trapping community, he should have known better....

Might have been the game commission that took the head, they were doing that a few years ago checking for CWD. I got curious about all the headless deer on route 22 between Pittsburgh and the WV line and called them.

They may yank his hunting privileges for a period of time. And a lot of times, around here anyway, they will confiscate the weapon(s) used to commit the deed.

Don't know how much he has invested in his bow, but if they take it from him it will likely sting a little.

I'm guessing if he is charged with a game violation, most states won't allow you to purchase any hunting licenses do to the game violation....not sure how long this stays on record, but if he hunts out of state like a lot of use do, he just put another nail in his hunting privileges....GOOD FOR HIM!!!!! WE don't need sportsmen like him representing us.....

I seriously doubt he will lose his hunting privileges. I had the same thing happen to me about 4 years ago. I had a bird hunter blow the head off of a red fox I had caught. The local warden caught him and just gave him a fine. I didn't get reimbursed for the fox or anything.

Betting that this guy doesn't have a PA license. A scoff law DB like that may be a felon and can't handle a firearm. It would explain why he didn't come back with a .22 like a normal do-gooder.

While I don't condone the bird hunter shooting your fox, he likely wasn't trespassing, hunting without a license or a guy with a record.

has anyone else questioned why he shot the thing with his bow rather than a .22 to the head to keep it from "suffering?" He had to drive all the way back to his house to get a weapon, and he chooses a bow over a gun?

Who knows why he drove back home. He was dumb enough to admit it so he isn't the brightest bulb. Dumb people do dumb things. I hope they give it to him.

Not with a rage 2" blade if he's a deer hunter. Hes a Jerk and bragging about it makes me and all of you madder.

The only good news is that with the Interstate Wildlife Violation Compact 47 states will not issue a license if his is revoked for the violation.

I think is awesome that some of you guys put some time into this and the violator is being looked for. Great job looking out for your fellow trappers!




But I will say that some people here were ready to draw and quarter me when I posted a similar situation just last year that I was in. A kid(bow hunting) shot a bobcat in my trap with a .45(found the brass) and I found him down in the woods and called him out on it.

My opinion is that he did it with a bow to ruin the fur because as he stated he hate traps. If he hates traps it is only logical to think that he also hates the people who do and the selling of fur.

It doesn't matter what he shot it with. It wasn't his trap, it wasn't his coyote, it had nothing to do with him and the animal wasn't suffering. It was simply caught in a trap. For all he knew the coyote could have been released unharmed. How does he know the trapper wasn't targeting fox etc!

Crazy that someone would think they are doing something good by doing that. I hope they catch them and throw the book at them. People like that give hunters a bad name

Guy was dumb doing what he did, deserves some sort of punishment. But, this is exactly why I always try to set out of sight just to reduce chance of any incident. Even doing that doesn't eliminate all incidents.

Still haven't gotten a call back from the CO. Would think they would've gotten something figured out by now.

I wonder why he thought it was suffering? He bow hunts deer and lets them bleed to death but thats not suffering? Don't get me wrong I don't think bowhunting is cruel. It was said by someone " For mother nature to work someone has to do the killing."

I received an email from the officer about this case. Here's what he wrote.

Citations have been filed against the subject. I won’t go into specific detail, but there are multiple charges including the unlawful killing of game or wildlife. As stated earlier, the trapper was located and his trap was returned. The coyote will be retained as evidence and will not likely be given back to the trapper due to the severe damage caused by the broadhead.

Maybe I'll go send him another pm on Archery Talk and ask him how his season is going? grin

Would be extra nice if they made him pay the trapper for the wasted coyote.

Did anyone ever determine if the trapper is a member here? I suppose not since we haven't heard from him.

They looked at this site to put their case together along with the archery site .
Things didn't get deleted here ,like on the archery site ! laugh

Paul by being the site owner was probably informed then .
It will be on open record when it's all done .

Paul got involved when the warden called him to ask if the trapper was a member here. He posted i think on page 1.

Would probably need his last name and the county of the crime. Then look up on the county probate court docket.

Just read his last post on AT. Some lady paying his fines? Oh Paaaalease.......would love to get the details on the citations.

Believe his name is Chad Lutz. That person lives on the same road as the douche canoe that shot the coyote in the trap. Kinda ironic..... Gonna dig deeper.

Only one Lutz on Dyke Rd. And that would be Chad P. What county was the coyote shot?

Had to be either Mercer or Lawrence Counties.

It IS Chad Lutz. Did some digging with background app. That name came up with the Dyke ad address and a Honeywell email address.

The magistrate could decide not to revoke his hunting privileges.

He has 3 charges against him. Trespassing while hunting violation. Unlawful taking of game. Tampering with someone else's traps. I'm not sure how much revocation time he could get, but would highly doubt a magistrate is going to pound him with 5-10. I would be really surprised.

Looks like he has 3 charges. Now will have to wait and see what the judge decides to do. Probably a small fine and court cost. Hopefully the judge is a trapper. smile

Who knows ?
Maybe they'll go easy on him and revoke his license for only 5 years , hopefully 10 and use him as a prime example !



Maybe neither, not up to us .
All ready getting off easy , if some woman is paying his fines .

Many times revocations mean more to these arrogant law breakers than a fine. People like these will usually end up hunting while on revocation and hopefully the authorities will be on the lookout for him. It would be nice if they could find a reason to have his license taken away in both Ohio and PA. As far as the guy saying the officer was very nice to him shows the professionalism of the officer. The guy probably doesn’t know it but I have a hunch he gave more information to the officer than he realizes.

He might even be BSing about the lady too . Smoothing it over on the site .
We'll if they take his hunting privileges away , he probably won't be doing much posting . laugh

Was glad to see someone put on there that the coyote was not suffering, like Lutz and a few others were saying. Most folks don't realize how tough wild animals are. Don't see socks and shoes on any wild critter but look at the environments they walk through every day. Bean stubble fields, just above freezing water, ice and snow, briar patches etc.... Couldn't tell ya how many critters I've walked up on that were sound asleep. The coyote may have been a little stressed but I seriously doubt it was suffering.

I hope the judge considers that Lutz not only committed the offenses but went on social media and bragged about it. Then he also lied on social media about "minimum charges" and bragged that someone else was going to pay his fine. That shows a complete lack of remorse. I don't believe the "trapper killed her dog" story so I don't believe anyone is paying his fine, but the judge could decide to believe it and hit him hard in another way in addition to a max fine.
