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

It's why I don't own a nightforce scope

The affidavit filed with court says the reported the kills in locations in unit 28 (Gant Mountain) but that he actually killed them in locations in 21. So this rules out the boundary mix up theory. Someone in his party must have dimed him out. It also looks like his home in Belgrade has been for sale for 2 months, so maybe he knew this was coming for some time.

He was probably questioned months ago and knew the hammer was coming down.

You think this is something? You haven't seen anything. I worked at Boeing for a while, they have an internal social media site for employees only. You should have seen me roasting some of those lefty nut bags with their psychopathic nonsense. Of course this was before I had kids and gave two ***** about losing my job over it. There was a guy from HR that was constantly on there spewing nonsense that never should have been put on an internal social media page.

Let him cook boys… at this rate I’ll be hunting unit 10 here in CO with my OTC archery tag

I get that but at the same time most everyone here is saying…the law is the law, doesn’t matter if it’s 5 minutes out of season or 5 months, etc.

Well, if the law is the law then shouldn’t it apply equally to everyone?

I get, and happen to agree personally with making an example, but the equal application of the law seems lacking in this country.

BTW, if we punished everyone regardless if they were an influencer or not, it would be a stronger deterrent than punishing one person harshly.

good job summarizing the duality.

Honeslty liked the video production in alot of the gritty films he was in. And he did come across as one of the better ones.

I hate to pile on.

But this makes me question a coues deer hunt he was in, in Arizona. Can't remember the film. A whole host of other guys were there for awhile with little to show. And he shows up mid-afternoon and "arrows" the biggest buck they had seen in awhile that evening. Of course that part wasn't on film?

Maybe he is just a dang good hunter. I don't know. But I also belive in letting things play out before rushing to judgment.

 

[Air Bear]

Based on what I've seen come out of the courts in recent years I think he'll be in more trouble for the fraud charges than anything else, if convicted.

Got it. It may just be definitional or a misunderstanding then.

When I hear people advocating for the GOVT to make examples out of people that skews into weaponization territory, at least in my book.

Sentencing someone who VERY WELL should know better with the max punishment would not constitute that.

fffeeww, im glad you two figured that out cause I was caught in the middle. I feel better now.

 

[justin davis]

What's this?

He’s been busted before. He is also irritating to me in that he says all these crazy things”scores” ot

This is disappointing and sad news - I enjoyed listening and watching Lampers.

I wonder why he is selling his house, bunch of equipment, and vehicles/ trailers? I mean legal fees are expensive but thats excessive. Something else brewing?

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe to move somewhere where no one knows who he is?

 

[Air Bear]

That’s part of the problem. Seems like most wildlife cases, influencer or not, are given minimal sentences or fines. Does nothing to give people a second thought on game violations.

Agreed, and even if theyre given max, that amount is set too low to begin with.

 

[WA209]

Two things, first I must admit I’m stealing the following quote from another rokslider who used it previously when another influencer fell from their high chair.

“Who’s leg am I supposed to hump now?”

And second, I’m really disappointed in the lack of memes on this thread.

 

[aMurderOfCrows]

Maybe the instafluencer bubbles are starting to get popped...Lampers, Snyder, Mulie Freak...either we start policing ourselves or loose it forever. Those that try to be famous in this space have their priorities sideways and need to stop trying to prove something.

More and more of this, hopefully eye opening to the opportunities being lost out there due to guys with egos to fulfill.

Aaron Snyder?

 

[menhaden_man]

These threads get locked when we have to babysit them.. Let's not get stupid, and it will stay open.....But I have doubts.

Really unfortunate to hear this. It’s not good for any of us so piling on with the other side won’t help our cause. Seemed like a nice guy but let’s hope they make an example of him, if he’s convicted.

 

[3forks]

Agreed, and even if theyre given max, that amount is set too low to begin with.

This is why I don’t have a problem with the hunting community roasting an influencer and their violations in forum like this. Unfortunately, after someone gets an attorney, it’s typical that their punishment is reduced to a trivial level.

As mentioned earlier, a lot of these influencers don’t even lose their endorsements and continue on as if nothing happened. In my opinion, the only real ramifications influencers deal with is from people like us on these forums who recognize that their crime is significant and that they are frauds.

I believe in second chances, but I also believe that a lot of these influencers only care about damage to their egos and I hope anyone who values fame over ethics only gets mentioned in a conversation about other poachers. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

 

[HONEYBADGER]

I'm surprised dudley or Hanes haven't been caught up in anything yet. Content content content. Need the content for the business.

Hanes hunts reservations and high dollar private ranches with landowner tags. His days of getting caught up in the regulations that govern the poors are over.

 

[Air Bear]

No, you said my honest comment was the most boneheaded comment on the web today, so I'll ask again.
What reason is that exactly? For what reason was Unit 21 and Unit 28 separated into distinct units? If this is the most obvious thing since slicing bread surely you can explain it to me.

Probably for game management purposes, user info, hunting opportunity, hunt quality, habitat management, disease tracking

Legend has it there might be a deer leg laying around in UT, if you can find it, it’s all yours.

Coming from a guy in the intel world with experience using this for federal cases, it will definitely be used.

I would imagine if he had a phone with him, the data is there 'to be' used to prove. Though I was more thinking if it was even used prior, to get to this point.

As in - are they cross referencing location data of known devices of hunters, with paid wolf bounties per unit

Just spit balling. I know it's "possible" but would be surprised if it's currently proactively being done.

I don't a word of those charges. Lampers is one of the good guys and I refuse to believe this until he's defended himself. The chain of events seems very suspicious and he has to much to lose to break the rules let alone all of them.
