Boushehry v. State
Citation:
648 N.E.2d 1174 (1995)Facts
On September 26, 1991, Fereydoon “Fred” Boushehry approached Jim Waugh, who was working in a subdivision Boushehry was developing, and asked if he wanted to shoot some geese. Waugh agreed and used a .22-caliber rifle to shoot at Canada geese from approximately twenty-five yards away, killing one goose and wounding another. The shots were fired in the direction of Shelbyville Road. Witnesses observed Boushehry chasing and catching the wounded goose, carrying it to his garage, and making a “slitting” motion across the goose’s neck with a shiny object. The goose flopped around before becoming still. Boushehry then carried both geese into his garage. When Conservation Officer Paul Bykowski investigated, he found a trail of blood and feathers leading to Boushehry’s garage, where two freshly killed Canada geese were discovered in a utility sink. The court took judicial notice that September 26 was outside the legal hunting season for Canada geese.
