Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
« on: November 18, 2014, 10:23:38 PM »
This buck was stolen in ID near Riggins,ID


MISSING💢 Help find Chucks Deer, near Riggins, Idaho. Chuck Thompson was backpack hunting and took this awesome buck. Between making trips packing the meat out he returned to finding his head and meat gone. Someone/somewhere knows something about this buck. Let's help him find his deer. Notice the eye guards and left G2, Pretty easy to pick out. This picture is all he has left, PLEASE SHARE and help a fellow Hunter out. If you have any information please contact IDFG Mark Hill 208-799-5010 rewards are available for its finding. Thanks-

I can't believe there are people that will take animals that they did not kill. You know some low life is showing pic's of that buck to his buddies and telling some great hunting story about how he killed it :bash:

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

ID you would be ticketed if you did that

From what I have read on fb with someone closer to the story the guy had packed it all out and was camped near the river had the antlers up in the tree. He went out to try and get an elk and returned to it being gone. Sounds like someone and more than one were invloved being that a sled was used to get in there where he was.

I don't understand why someone would steal someone's deer. To me having horns or a shoulder mount hanging remind me of the hunt and friends or family involved.  Every time whomever took this buck looks at it they will be reminded of what a scum bag they are.

You can take the antlers out first in Idaho...doesn't sound like it would matter in this case though...the guy had the whole deer at camp and went out elk hunting? 

I'm with Madmax on this one though...I'm not a meat hunter and so I want to make as certain as I can the antlers will not disappear...usually that means taking them out first...sometimes though its safer to leave them for the last trip.  Its sad hunters even have to think about stuff like this.

I read on FB that he did  get the rack back. Someone overheard another that the rack was returned to the scene of the crime. According to the info I read, Chuck (the rightful owner) had to go back there and get it. Sounds strange to say the least, but it was on FB so it must be true!
