I hope they lock his @$$ up and take away his hunting rights. If it is indeed an "owned" animal then he should still suffer the penalty of law and loose his hunting rights.

 

While I agree, if he did not use his tag on the deer or register the deer, can you charge him with wildlife crimes? You could do felony property theft, trespassing, weapon while committing a felony which are probably WAY worse than just losing hunting rights.

 

Just wow. Never ceases to amaze what kind of craze is created from buck fever.

 

The “takes picture” part should be followed by “put self in hand cuffs”. What a winner.

 

Man, as the old saying goes. “ you can’t fix stupid “ What a complete idiot

 

Yeah, I don't think there's any way he can be charged with any sort of hunting/wildlife crime since it's not wildlife. It's trespassing and felony theft for sure.

 

IMO no different than going onto a farm and shooting dairy cow. Penalty should be about the same. In this case the deer aren't really "wild" or belonging to the public, so those types of penalties like "poaching" probably won't apply. To me this is yet another symptom of the disease in this country. Oh and an edit. thehuntingnews.com is a bot/fake news website. It doesn't list its authors or any other information, you can tell by the articles/writing that it's not done by anyone with any sort of background in journalism or similar training (more than likely it's from the Mid-east), it doesn't list original sources of information. It's really much more of a pot-stirrer,certainly not a legit source, and it collects your information. just an fyi.

Theft has been occurring longer than any of us have been on this earth, and in a lot more places than just this country.

 

Some people’s stupidity know no limits!!

 

Needs Another Year.........


In Jail.


LOL.

 

Surprised he wasn't wearing a full matching set of high end camo and posting this on Instagram with 76 hashtags

 

These type of stories are unfourtanetly exactly why people have questions anytime someone shoots and post extra large big buck pics.

 

They should take him over to Europe and execute him by guillotene.

 

Good grief, it's a deer for crying out loud. Do some of you make these stupid comments to get "atta boys" from people? Might be time to grow up.

 

Did it say in the article of what the deer was worth I mean what the owner charged for the hunt of that deer. It isn’t cheap. Years ago I guy shot a Birmingham al zoo deer named Bucky. He might have gotten away with it, but he entered it in a big buck contest the next year. Busted

 

And yet the guy still has the arrogance to snap a couple pics...

 

ballsy move! SMH

 

Calling BS, Not even the same deer in the pics.

 

Huh?

 

I have said it before and will say it again and again. Big bucks make people do/say stupid things. Evident from the article and some of the comments on this thread. Its a animal not a human being.

 

Even if it's a fake story this^^^^^ is still true!

 

If he did kill it to mount it he certainly cut the head off that would make it impossible to mount without a new cape right?


Maybe a fake story.

 

People buy capes for mounts all the time.

 

He could of at least caped it out a little better, for a shoulder mount! Lol
What a piece of chit! He so cool, gotta wear shades! Reminds of the wild game dildos.

Author did raise a good question and I quote "Now I am not sure if you can call what he did poaching. Since it was a privately owned animal would it be more like stealing livestock? I am not sure."

That's exactly what it is at that point........livestock. So the penalty should be the same as if it was a beef cow.

 

The headless body doesn’t match the size of the deer. 300lbs?vs 200lbs?

Not even 200lbs. Look at the rear quarters. Broken leg looks like it was hit by a car and somebody stopped to cut the head off. No visible hole or blood on it.

 

Wildlife officials manage some of the high fence ranches just like public. Limits, tags, and seasons all apply. Not sure exactly how it works but I do know that much.
Looks like a hoax anyway. Who would jump the fence and take the hero shots?

 

Wow

 

If true, What a dips**t shoots it, jumps the fence then takes a hero shot with his shades on like mr cool.

 

Probably a good chance it went on some kind of social media platform.
