Here I thought Ryan Lamper was one of the good guys for the hunting world…

Not defending, but to be fair all the charges could be explained by him honestly thinking he was in unit 28 instead of 21. 28 and 21 border each other. Reduced lion tags are even good in a lot of 21. 28 was legally open for all the species (reduced mountain lion would have to be in wilderness only).

Now it makes no sense how he could make that mistake, especially if you are familiar with those unit boundaries. Makes me think it was likely a deliberate act of deception, but nonetheless, it is possibly an honest mistake of unit boundaries.

Don’t really have a dog in the fight, so crucify him if you want, the story didn’t really accurately tell the facts unless you actually know the area and the associated seasons.

He knows how to use a GPS, ONX/gohunt. He knew where he was. I have a terrible time believing that seeing how much he has used gohunt.

Except there’s this little tiny thing called the salmon river that separates the units. You can’t be serious. With all the tech this granola is using he knew exactly where he was shooting a buck.

He could argue the unit boundary for the predators maybe, but not the mule deer. There are no open deer seasons in that area after Nov. 30th.

oh c’mon dude….get serious now.

And so does IDFG

 

[Mtnman84]

I’m not suprised, ran into him and Brian in the backcountry a few years back. Ryan was borderline confrontational, acted like he owned the place.

 

[Mtnman84]

He knew exactly where he was

 

[rclouse79]

Darn, he did seem like a likable guy. If true, it should be a cautionary tale for anyone hoping to go down the road of living for Instagram likes.

 

[wowzers]

You mean so no one recognizes him, or because it’s better to be well groomed when you’re interviewing for jobs seeing as how he just ended his career as an influencer?

I wouldn’t bet on that. That Alwine guy got convicted and he’s sponsored by Leupold now.

I don’t know, that aram von Benedict guy is still writing for sports afield and he flat out strong armed a mule deer away from some lady. I guess it’s different but still…

Edit to add: the ladies boyfriend should be banned for life from hunting for just watching an influencer take his girlfriends deer. Especially when the dude taking the deer had a dumb mustache and was wearing a cowboy hat.

Agreed with both of you. If you read, I said as much. Doesn’t make much sense for an experienced hunter. Just pointing out that people do make honest mistakes. I wouldn’t guess that’s the case here, but misunderstanding unit boundaries can and does happen frequently.

 

[TandKHunting]

I find it weird that he would report the animals....

If the allegations are true that's a bold strategy..Cotton.

28 is open Dec 1-31st for archery deer

Muleyfreak still has all kinds of sponsors (kryptek, basemap, etc.) with multiple convictions. Kinda crazy that things like this don’t end a career in the hunting world these days.

 

[92xj]

Is he a part owner or on the “board” for Peax?

 

[PanhandlePilgrim]

I stand corrected. But it is still hard to miss that big river and road that divides the units. Don't get me wrong i thought he was one of the good ones, I doubt it was an honest mistake, not at his level of experience.

 

[IDVortex]

From what ive read, he sold his part. But cant confirm.

Lol.. read the last sentence.

We’re doing this again!?!? Cool, let me pop this and grab a beer.

No kidding. A lifetime hunting ban in all the compact states would curtail this stuff quite a bit I think.
