Florida Man Receives Lifetime Hunting Ban After Swan Shooting

A Florida man faces a lifetime hunting ban and significant fines for shooting a protected tundra swan in front of birdwatchers at Lake Jackson, an incident that sparked outrage in the conservation community. The man, convicted of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, was also sentenced to six months probation after he was captured on camera killing the swan and attempting to conceal the act from onlookers.

The case drew attention due to the man’s failure to obtain the necessary federal Duck Stamp, which ironically featured a tundra swan. Witnesses from the Apalachee Audubon Society documented the poaching, raising questions about the man’s claim of misidentifying the bird. The lifetime ban applies throughout the U.S. due to Florida’s participation in the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, highlighting the serious ramifications of wildlife poaching.
