45-year-old George Mosely of Oak Ridge faces hundreds of dollars in fines and possible jail time in connection with the killing of a Black Bear and other hunting violations. Adam Einck with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries detailed what agents found in Mosley’s Morehouse Parish residence on February 8th.
“And we found in possession of bear parts, two antlered deer heads, two freezers full of deer meat, and a bobcat that was illegally killed as well,” said Einck.
Enick said Mosely confessed to harvesting the bear with a bow and arrow in Richland Parish last October.
“And he also admitted to agents that he harvested four-antlered deer and two antlerless deer and a bobcat with a rifle. And he did all this without having any hunting licenses for the 2023-2024 hunting season,” said Einck.
Mosely faces $16,525 in civil restitution for the replacement value of the illegally taken black bear, deer, and bobcat.
“And he’s also facing criminal charges for those illegally taken animals and those maximum fines and penalties exceed $2,500 and 200 days in jail,” ” said Einck.
LDWF agents and the Morehouse Parish Sheriff’s Office executed the search warrant and they also found methamphetamine in the residence.
