Post by: carpsniperg2 on November 18, 2014, 10:32:51 PM: 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:

Post by: MADMAX on November 19, 2014, 04:41:03 AM: damm thats low, when I pack, first thing out is the head and tag
hide it or lock it up and the go for the rest.
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: huntnnw on November 19, 2014, 05:14:02 AM: 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.

Post by: Ridgerunner50 on November 19, 2014, 07:26:54 AM: 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.
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: elkoholic1 on November 19, 2014, 07:54:35 AM: WOW great buck but still can not for the life of me understand why someone would want a deer they didnt shoot!!!!!

i mean come on your some kind of special low life if you steal a animal just so you can brag to your friends you got a animal but karma will find you and strike you down,
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: Motorjosh on November 24, 2014, 06:42:43 PM: Hope he finds it. My dad had a dog stolen while he lived on the river. Someone pulled up in a boat while he was at work and stole his black lab.
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: Watimberghost on November 24, 2014, 06:50:53 PM: I could see low life's like that showing people and bragging him up. Hopefully someone recognizes him and turns them in. That's garbage... Great buck by the way
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: Becky on November 24, 2014, 06:51:35 PM: Send pics to all the taxidermists you can find in that general area. That sucks, I'd be so devastated.
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: bowhunterwa87 on November 24, 2014, 06:53:05 PM: Couple years ago my boss was in lewistown mt at the bar and a guy came in bragging about the size of deer in his truck....when he went to leave a couple hours later the whole deer was gone...

Hope you find the person who stole it and give him some back alley justice.........
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: klickriverchromer on November 24, 2014, 07:43:34 PM: People amaze me! Scum of the earth kind of person that would do something like that.

my thoughts exactly, whoever took it probably isn't going to do much more than sell it

Post by: birddogdad on November 25, 2014, 08:05:57 AM: always been a concern packing things out with me... I hate leaving anything at or near my vehicle until I can keep the "honest" people honest....

stud buck , sorry for the loss.... has he provided the pic to all regional taxidermy folks? Save some meat for dna later if found?

ID you would be ticketed if you did that

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.

Post by: xXLojackXx on November 25, 2014, 11:53:16 AM: What a shame. What would you even do with a stolen buck like that? Every taxidermist in the area is going to have an eye out for it. Unless they're in on it :dunno:

Post by: boneaddict on January 05, 2015, 07:24:16 AM: Apparently word got out enough as the buck was returned. I think I saw where it scored 192. He got his trophy back, that's the most important thing!

Very cool that it got back where it belongs. :tup:
Title: Re: Be on the lookout for a stolen buck.
Post by: fly4fish on January 05, 2015, 02:33:50 PM: 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!
