Seems he was busted in 2015 also. Wow! Not that I like their show anyway but I hope it's cancelled.

From what I know about him, it could not have happened to anyone more worthy. Just a shame that he got a better deal than a lot of people would have gotten who did not have his money. I have tried to watch the show, but he and his boys (especially the one who does most of the show) get on my nerves. Let me say, when they hunt in "Olla", LA, it is not actually in the same Parish as Olla is. It is in Winn Parish, but is closer to Olla than it is to Winnfield in Winn Parish. I grew up in Olla and lived there the 1st 45 yrs. of my life. I hunted the land that they now hunt while growing up. The vast majority of the land was timber company land and open to the public. Fast forward to when LA Pacific decided to close their plywood operations around home and sold all of their timber land, 25+/- yrs. ago. Some was sold to other timber companies, but Big Bill bought a lot of it and the 1st thing he did was put a high fence around most of his land. It is a LOT of land to be under high fence, but it is.

His "I'm better than you" attitude has not set well with the local people in Olla. There truly is no telling what is done behind the fence. He is a former Wildlife and Fisheries Commissioner (or something like that). This, I think, was under the Mike Foster administration when there were a lot of changes in the LWF during that time. In other words, he is politically connected and see no way that anyone here in this state will mess with them. Or at least, that is my thinking. I know how things work here. If he stops hunting here it will surprise me. However, we would never know what goes on behind the "wall"!

Yeah, kinda like Darner in Colorado

Okay, sounds like a good thing he got caught.

OTOH, I haven't watch any hunting/fishing program in a while. I actually don't remember when. The "editing" is what ruined me.
1 example. I was watching 'some' hunting show. A young guy was sitting under a tree watching/hunting. An animal was NOT shown, he makes a shot....commercial... show resumes the guy gets up to go look and FOUND the animal.

The KICKER - The moon was MUCH closer (larger) in the second scene. I had recorded it so, I re watched- ha!
Also the guy showed NO excitement at all.
Last show recorded or watched.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk. When he fenced in his property he fenced other peoples land in with his. He won in court because he's well connected.

Every so often you see someone like that get what they deserve-or at least part of it. His show has always been a joke, I feel bad for the folks that get sucked in to following something that type of show.

Not a lot of great stuff out there on t.v., thankfully one of our own (Randy aka Big Fin) does it right.

These clowns are the definition of knuckleheads. Their show is unwatchable. As a repeat offender they should have thrown the book at Bill.

It's amazing how many here already know him. MooseMike, you are spot on. It is hard to believe that it happened. Some of it was family land from many years back. For those who are expecting sponsors to drop their show, I wouldn't count on it. I THINK they either own or have a big interest in most of the companies who sponsor them.

Well, they don't OWN the Outdoor Sportsman's Group Networks (Outdoor Channel), and the Outdoor Channel just put their program on an indefinite hiatus . .

That clown is worth over 100 million dollars. Just for boycott purposes, he owns Wild Game Innovations, Barnett Crossbows and Flextone Game Calls. I have never liked his TV shows, and he has always appeared as a complete ass, to me. That fine is nothing but coffee money to that puke. He made his money in oil, originally and owns 55,000 acres in Louisiana.

Runs deer with dogs in a high fence. What a sportsman. About time hunters quit trying to cover for high fence shooters.

Lots of different kinds of high fences. miles

IIRC, they are the head honcho's behind Plano Synergy. Lots of brands under that umbrella...

Seems a travesty not to have him pay max fine plus have to do the time. That SOB will get his before the Creator of those creatures he obviously cares nothing for.

I saw a post on a Facebook hunting group that was bashing the Busbices. This was a couple years ago. I asked some questions and some good ole Louisiana boys fillied me on on why they hate Big Bill Busbice. That's the reason I know about the azzclown. I also saw on TV Jackie Bushman and Bill Jordan hobknob around with the idiot.

I can't stomach Jackie Bushman or that oaf, Busbice. You can put G.O. Heath on that list too.

I saw that earlier today. But if the Outdoor Channel really wants to get him, let them forbid any ad money from the Plano Synergy group to show they are serious about it.

As has been stated, they are reported to run dogs behind the high fence. Bill was tabbed as being responsible for dog hunting to even still exist in this state when the state wanted to ban them a few years ago. And I have been told by some of the guys who have been inside the fence to log timber on their property that there is a secondary fence inside the big fence. I think that all those who have hobnobbed with Bill and the boys including Willie Robertson, ought to come out and say that they are severing ties with the Plano group. But, that's my opinion.

He is a total Buffoon. I also don't think he made his money in oil. If I remember correctly, he sued a big oil company and won a huge settlement for something. I'd have to research that to be sure though. Not a self made guy at all. Fell into money and acts like a complete idiot. No telling how many other violations he has committed and not gotten caught.

He started up a hot shot company which he sold, that's where the money started.

I never heard of the guy until the posts on the 'Fire in the last few days. Reading other things about him, he seems to be a class A douchebag.
