I found out I drew this Idaho tag in a redraw less then 2 weeks before the hunt started. I had never hunted this unit before but luckily I had some good friends give me some pointers on the area.
I knew this tag had the potential for a great deer so I cleared my schedule as best I could and talked my buddies Zach and Dalton into coming with me.
We backpacked into the unit 7 days before season and ended up spotting this buck from about 3 miles away on our second day. We then spent 5 days glassing for him from about 2 miles out. We saw him twice before season and then again we spotted him on opening morning. After one of the hardest 3 hour stalks of my life we were able to get within within range and put him down with a single shot..
It was one of the physically hardest hunts I have ever been on, I can't say enough about how hard Zach and Dalton worked to help this dream come true!
He was gross green scored at 222 1/2" with a green net typical of 205"
I doubt I will ever able to top this deer, but lord knows I'm gonna try ;)

Should I jump on someone else's bandwagon? The guy that's flaunting 28 sponsors because he killed a doe on video? Or beastmode shirt/shoe/cutoff shirt selling guy because he can bench 350? Because you need D cups like that to hike into the wilderness?? No sir. You're a real hunter with a real show and everything. As I told you before (when I originally began stalking...err idolizing you) you're humble, I like that in an idol. This is getting weird but at least I got to rip "oversponsored guy" while I was at it :chuckle: :chuckle:

I asked what hunt this was and he said a good one. I don't see a tag and there are only a few early rifle hunts. I am sure the game department has looked into it, but I still wanna know what unit! I can eliminate the unit 1 early hunt, not that much backcountry up here. The ones down south I am not so sure of, except its obviously not a desert unit, anyone got an idea?
I hike quite a bit up in u it 1.

Talk about internet police.
:police:
I will wait 10 minutes or so to snap a few pictures before affixing my tag. I notch immediately, snap a few pics, attach the tag, then put my orange back on :yike: and put the tag on, then take another pic so I can show everyone I was all legal and legit.

Man, difficult to look at all the other hunts and wonder how many of those may have been legitimate... :dunno:
I Guess it depends on what the definition of "legitimate" is, and from the little bit I have seen of these type of shows, and what I have seen the individuals involved in - they certainly use a much more plastic and flexible definition of legitimate than the individuals I choose to associate with. I don't have a television, but I do see these shows on occasion when visiting friends homes. From what I have seen, they are not for me.

Throphy photos don't have tags. Notch as soon as the animals recovered and Attach as soon as photos are finished. To many wanna be enforcement officers on here to post up pics anymore geez. Great hunt Matt. Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't referring to the tag issue, I was referring to his poaching issue in Montana. That occurred over many years and also in another state. That's not to say he didn't commit the same offense in other states. :dunno:

My definition of legitimate is legal kill. Again, he broke the law in another state so what's to stop him from doing it in that state or ours? This buck may or may not have been legitimately (legally) harvested but we don't know for sure due to his recent convictions. So, it is difficult to look at other animals and congratulate if history tells me he poaches...

Apparently Jonnyjammer doesn't go over the speed limit 1 mph, makes a complete stop at every posted stop sign prior to the stop line...I can go on and on. You're talking about "immediately' well your definition can be articulated differently by someone else. I'm not talking about Alwines situation, I'm talking about you acting like you have never once in your life done exactly per the law. Sorry Mr. High and mighty take a step off your high horse and give it a break. If a guy doesn't attach the tag immediately you're saying he's breaking the law by the way it reads. Well next time you get ticketed for 1 mph over don't complain but thats all you do. You get it...you really do. Congrats.

Right...so he's not on this forum anymore because we banned him for constantly stirring the pot among other things.
You sure you're not him? Your posts almost mimic his perfectly. Your grammar, punctuation, etc all match almost perfectly.
You even share the same IP address as him. If you want to stay on this forum, you might try to not be just like him as much as it seems you are right now.

That was going to be a real awkward drive home from work together. Hope they didn't get stuck in the Chinese Presidential traffic.
My guess Jonny dropped Steve off so one of them could go shopping for that new laptop.

I dont know but whatever punishment he gets will carry the ban to the states in the alliance ... IMO these offenses should be lifetime bans then maybe people would use their head a little more but his lawyer will find some technicality and get it reduced to 5 yrs.

Got it, I think he is banned from hunting for 4 years.
I was thinking you were saying he was banned from Huntwa like Stevemiller.
I know he hasn't posted or been active on the site but wasn't sure if they were going to take any action against him. I think he used to be a site sponsor, his signature block doesn't say that now. They may want to cut any ties with him because of his negative actions. I could see removing him as a sponsor but I would think that he should still be able to follow and post to the site.
Just my :twocents:

So the guy with the cut off camo shirt is some kind of celebrity poacher?? I didn't read the entire thread.Yes, he has/had a TV show, Trophy State of Mind. He was busted for getting a resident hunting license in Montana when he was not a resident and hunting multiple years on property that he didn't have permission to hunt and took a bunch of animals.
Here is the thread that has all the information on the charges.

I asked what hunt this was and he said a good one. I don't see a tag and there are only a few early rifle hunts. I am sure the game department has looked into it, but I still wanna know what unit! I can eliminate the unit 1 early hunt, not that much backcountry up here. The ones down south I am not so sure of, except its obviously not a desert unit, anyone got an idea?
Controlled hunt 1-1 is open to units 1-9 only 2 other controlled hunts for rifle in Aug. are in unit 39 and 55.

:yeah:
As far as I know, this Idaho hunt was a legal hunt.

Nope. Thread title should be changed. Poached buck of a lifetime.
Or how bout' Stolen buck of a lifetime.... :hello:

But, he committed game crimes in another state prior to this buck being taken, had he been convicted earlier for the other states crimes, he surely would not have had his license to hunt this buck. The moment he committed a crime that would have revoked his hunting rights in all states, any animal taken from that time up to the time he was convicted in a court of law is a poached animal in my eyes. :twocents:

It is unfortunate that his actions that he was convicted of now cast a shadow over all that he has done.

That and every credible harvest will be open for due speculation. Sucks for him for sure, but not the end of the world for him.

What's unfortunate is that he did this at all and it's likely that he's done other things that he hasn't be caught at, as well.

Exactly, my guess is there are more incidents that are not on the up and up or have some sliver of poor judgment attached to them.I'm not defending anyone.....:yeah:

Everything has to be questioned and doubted.
Disappointing on so many levels.

As I have posted earlier in this thread:
"Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officers assisted with the investigation. Alwine was involved in a Washington investigation in 2010, said Dan Rahn, Washington Wildlife police officer.
http://www.spokesman.com/tags/poaching/blogposts/"
Bottom line: This conviction does not impress me as being an isolated incident of willful disregard for game and trespass laws. FWIW, I doubt that we have heard the last from various authorities regarding this gent.
