A 7-Year-Old Picked Up a Shed Antler. It Had a GPS Tracker Attached — and His Dad Got a Ticket

A Wyoming man was cited for trespassing after his son picked up an elk shed with a tracking device that had been planted on private land.

As shed hunting grows in popularity out West, so does the potential for trespassing, leading some Western landowners to get creative. In one recent case in Wyoming, as reported by Cowboy State Daily, a rancher with trespasser problems agreed to let game wardens plant elk sheds with tracking devices on their property. A seven-year-old boy found one of those sheds and brought it home, which led to a trespassing citation for his father.

The elk shed sting took place on the LU Ranch in Hot Springs County, and the father of the young shed hunter, Miles Galovich, was cited on April 19, according to CSD. The Galoviches own land neighboring the LU Ranch, where the ranch owners had reportedly asked game wardens to bring in trackable elk sheds and place them around their property. The neighboring properties are intermixed with public land, and the Galoviches have an easement to use a road that passes through the LU ranch as well as public ground, according to CSD.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department did not respond immediately to a request for comment, so it’s unclear what kind of tracking device was used or how it was attached to the shed that Galovich’s son picked up.

Galovich told CSD that he and his son were driving near the ranch last month on a section they thought was state land when the seven-year-old boy spotted the five-point elk shed roughly 20 yards from the road. Galovich let his son out of the vehicle to go pick up the shed, and they brought it home, where game wardens arrived later to issue the father a trespassing citation. The young boy returned the shed to game wardens.

Galovich claimed that the area wasn’t posted or fenced off, and he questioned the exact placement of the shed.

“It feels kind of like entrapment,” he told the news outlet.

According to court records acquired by CSD, Galovich faces a fine of up to $1,000 for the trespassing charge, as well as a potential loss of hunting and fishing privileges. His court hearing has been set for May 15.

An email inquiry that Outdoor Life sent to LU Ranch on Monday did not receive a response as of press time. The ranch owners told CSD, however, that they’ve had problems with shed hunters trespassing in years past and they called it a “chronic problem” on the ranch.

Sounds more like a neighbor dispute. Of course the bunny police have to get involved with their entrapment scheme.

Ranchers out west are retarded. No joke, when it comes to deer/elk they are leftist "feels" retarded.

I never thought I would read about someone "trespassing" on land to grab an antler that had a tracking device.

If someone was trespassing, I'm glad there is technology to nail them.

II was trecking through our neck of the mountains/woods when I was 7, too. I'm sure I crossed over the markers a time or three but nobody ever tried to put the old man in jail for it.

I say ''our'' because in reading so many of your postings, we're a product of the same geography and culture.

Westerners are different than southerners in many ways.

I used to find a lot of neat stuff left or lost by previous generations of frontiersman and natives.

lets say one of the people whos property you trespassed on has had a major problem with it and worked with law enforcement to catch said trespasser,,

should they ignore you because youre a kid??

and in this case the father was involved and the adult responsible for the child so it only makes sense to him responsible,,

I would be tickled if a 7 year old found a shed on my river property.

the world isnt as simple as just one persons POV,,

the property owner had several problems with trespassers prior to this and it was an adult the facilitated the event,,

when you start picking who gets held accountable and who doesnt you start to look like chicago or new york city,,

Where I'm from, everybody either knows each other or are related in some way. They don't call it the holler for nothing. You can sit on your frnt porch and talk to peole a mile away. Now, one might wonder how that is relevant to anything. But it is relevant. Of course, it was also a different time. Less ''advanced'' for lack of a more convenient term.

Technically speaking...legally speaking...you're obviously correct.

We live in a different time, too. So many these days are so full of their own self-importance that they don't take time to appreciate the way things work in a society where people look out for one another in the most meaningful of ways. So many these days just automatically think everybody else is trying to get one over on em or do some nefarious thing. Few even know their neighbors.

It relates to what 1srelluc said about being tickled if a 7 year old found his shed. That's a reflection of a the way people think in a healthy community.

it isnt about where youre from or the people in your area,,

this property owner had problems with trespassers and took measures to deal with it,,

imagine if the kid was hurt on the property and sued the property owner??

lots of reasons to enforce trespass laws,,

I do think the judge should just make it time served as a warning and move on,,

They need to find something better to do.

Several of the posts on this topic, including one by a presumed Christian authoritarian, make it clear that we have the government we deserve.

In Florida, if land is not fenced or posted, it's not really trespassing. They have a procedure called "trespass after warning". One trespass may be warned against, the next one will bring charges.
