I wonder how !much the guy got for a finder fee! Amaizing how people can be bought off. And no I don't know anything and yes I plead the 5 the. Awesome buck and it def. Cost some one alot of cash for  a 100 pound deer with a big rack. He !just like his woman the same way lol

 That's a crude comment Shad, not appropriate at all!

Who knows what's rumor and what's not. I've heard a lot of crazy stories regarding this deer. If the amount of money I'm hearing is correct then I don't really blame him for pointing out the buck. If I had the tag, eh....probably not the way I'd do it but, I'm not the one with the tag. The only thing I REALLY have a problem with, IF TRUE, is plowing up burms of snow at the bottom of the roads so nobody else can access the area. Now that is A-BULL-A-SHEEEIIT!! Hopefully all this stuff is just rumor....

Clearly you don't "plead the 5 the".
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

not really sure where you get your info shad, I received zero money for helping a friend fill his tag. Truth be known this deer was in this particular spot well before mr. Miller and booner boy spotted him, my hat goes off to those guys, not exactly the easiest place to hunt or spot deer. As for your allegations, sometimes it's better to think or ask before you start making false statements!

Funny how a story turned form a darn nice deer that was missed on to how he's dead story Go figure :rolleyes:
For what it's worth Nice story and write up. heck of a nice deer anyone with a Rifle or bow would be proud to have just seen that.
"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

Sheesh sure a lot of bickering over a great buck.. Funny how a single deer can get everyone going especially when there has been 10-20 bigger bucks killed this year.  Congrats to the hunter, hope everything was on the up and up which I imagine it was.

If that is true regarding the plowing up of berms of snow so that others access was impeded then everyone involved deserves to held in contempt by all who believe That good sportsmanship is the first requirement when considering an animal to be a legitimately taken big game trophy animal.
