Commissioner Leonard Bentz cited for illegally hunting, putting future as wildlife official in jeopardy
SUMMARY: Mississippi Wildlife Commissioner Leonard Bentz, Jr. was cited for illegally hunting turkeys on baited land. He claims he did not know crickets had been spread on the 500-acre property to attract birds. Despite verifying the area beforehand, conservation officers stated that ignorance did not excuse the violation, but they acknowledged Bentz had no intentional wrongdoing. Bentz apologized and emphasized his respect for the officers’ work. His position is at stake, as his reconfirmation by the Senate faces potential opposition following this incident, and he was previously appointed by Gov. Tate Reeves in 2021 and reappointed in July 2023.
