It's up to YOU to know where you're at when in the field and just trusting someone else obviously got you into trouble. It's sure taken the F&G long enough to charge you, but if you were on private property and they can prove it, you may want to hire a lawyer to try and at least prove it wasn't intentional! Why can't you fathom that you were charged? You just stated YOU shot the elk and if it was on private property YOU were the violator with the more serious of the charges. The outiftter is probably just being charged with trespassing. Are you aware that the one charge may get you a loss of hunting priviledges for one or more years and that could lead to it being upheld in approximately 40 states since Kentucky is one of the states in the Wildlife Violator Compact Act and they all share wildlife violations among each other to enforce the Act? Good luck on this one, as you''l need it!
