Quote from: TVHunts on May 15, 2016, 05:56:38 AMI guess no more speculation on this one. I can't grasp it being called a trophy due to the way it was harvested, to each his own I suppose. That fact that it was likely illegal compounds my view even further. I think he should have his hunting rights revoked for life myself. I also think the people that helped him should be charged and prosecuted as well. They assisted him for some cash which is pretty disgusting. There is not even a small chance that the locals didn't know this was out of the legal hunting unit. Clowns like this make us all look bad...Let the court system do its job before you make judgements like that. That article had very little research put into it. Looks like the guy just read the thread that was put on here. No wonder at all legal action is going to be used. A few guys on here, and one in particular have spread information that is not accurate.

I will tell you great steps were taken to do the right thing.

I believe a phone conversation if in fact went down is no excuse on where you killed the animal. Come on we all know where and when we can hunt and ifnwe don't we shouldn't be hunting. Like I said though who really knows all the facts this is between the hunter and the state officials now hownit stands. I hope though for the hunter he was in fact doing the right thing

My opinion is that if you are unsure of something you should be able to call your well paid public servant that is supposed to be the professional on the subject and get clarification. I will say I would rather be in the hunters shoes facing that legal issue, than facing the civil issue the guy will be dealing with for publicly dragging the hunter through the mud. Win lose or draw it's going to be a really long drawn out EXPENSIVE situation.
