Morehouse Parish man cited for killing Louisiana black bear, multiple hunting violations
MOREHOUSE PARISH, La. (KNOE) – A Morehouse Parish man was cited by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for alleged hunting violations on February 8.
George Mosely, 45, was cited for taking a Louisiana black bear during a closed season. He was also over the seasonal limit of antlered deer, deer hunting without a basing hunting license, deer license and deer tags, and harvesting a bobcat without a basic hunting license.
LDWF and Morehouse Parish Sheriff’s Office issued a search warrant of Mosely’s home and found him in possession of bear parts, two antlered deer heads, two freezers full of deer meat, and methamphetamine. Authorities say that Moselt admitted to harvesting a black bear with a bow and arrow in Richland Parsh in October 2023. He also admitted to harvesting four antlered deer, two antlerless deer, and a bobcat with a rifle.
The seasonal limit of antlered deer for this area is three.
LDWF says taking a Louisiana black bear during a closed season brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Over the seasonal limit of antlered deer carries a $250 to $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Deer hunting without a basic hunting license, deer license, and deer tags brings up to a $350 fine for each offense. Harvesting a bobcat without a basic hunting license carries up to a $350 fine.
They say Mosely may also face civil restitution totaling $16,525 for the replacement value of the illegally taken black bear, deer, and bobcat.
