The link was sent by a friend. It starts to get really interesting and then it gets locked and then unlocked and then all heck breaks loose. I have posted an excerpt that is simply jaw dropping way down this post so that it will not ruin the suspense for those who want to start at the beginning and read through it.

41. "RE: The Biggest Loser - Fraud and Deception"
Hello, everybody who has wrote in and shown interested in the biggest loser.
My name is Dave and I'm the guy who sold the 2 large mule dear racks on ebay to Coleman Houston (the biggest Loser). He told me he was a taxidermist and wanted these racks really bad for a competion he was in. He waited the 5 days for the auction to end and bid and won. He immediately notified me that he wanted to know when these would ship. He wanted them both mailed together to save money. I had no idea about the laws in california. I sold them to him under good faith.
I have been forced to sell my entire collection of 10 years due to my health. I have Reneal stage 5 Kidney disease and I'm on dialysis 3 times a week. I received a kidney from a friend last year, although due to complications I rejected the kidney and have had multiple surgeries. I'm now waiting for a new kidney and with the help of my wife and friends they have come together to join a patient exchange program with the University of Colorado Hospital. I hope to recieved a new kidney soon some day. I need a perfect match. If anyone is interested and wants more information, please email me.
I'm a young man and have 3 kids and have been selling my entire collection to pay for my hospital bills.
This is frustrating and disgusting to see such a great set of antlers sold to someone who did not appreciate them. He defaced them and has taken the true meaning of what a real hunt is about.
Then he went out and bragged about killing them himself and wanted monetary value and fame!! (That did not get him very far)
That's not all, he asked me for his money back because the DOW confiscated them and he has nothing to show for. WHAT GREED!!!
Hopefully the antlers endup somewhere, where everyone can enjoy seing them for what they are.
I hope things turnout the way they should.
Thanks for all of your support.
Dave

I see it to a degree sometimes on this site, as well as popular hunting shows. Maybe not to that extent but similar in fashion. . Its a shame that the need for popularity overshadows the reel reason you should be driven to hunt and true respect for the game you pursue.

Game cam pics of a huge blacktail I've seen on private property I have access to just west of Shelton! If one of you guys will show me how to Photoshop myself in behind him I could have a new state record!

The best part of that whole thread is when somebody rewrote his hunt description; essentially telling the real story but using his phrasing. I literally almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard.:yeah:
I read all 10 pages, very funny... I like the "field" pics with the taxidermy head.

FWIW, a variation on this
The neighbor had seen the deer the antlers purportedly came from hanging in the guy's garage and said it was "the size of a police dog."
He is kinda' the hunting camp mascot and didn't get a deer in the General and went back out alone during the late season.
That knuckle head only wanted to fit in a little better within his circle of friends and I doubt it would have ever went any further. IIRC the antlers were like a 120- 125, half bleached out, spindly mule deer set and came from an estate sale in Steilacoom.
I know guys that this one "hunts" with, their group is about fifteen strong, and they go out to the island together and most of them hunt for the first legal deer that comes along and he still hunts with them today. Most all the adults have gotten a kinda' nice BT buck over the years and this guy just wanted to fit in a little better with the group.
From what I know, he shows up every year, pitches in with the pre-hunt preparations like setting up deer stands and the camp, and is there to make sure everybody has a good time.
My impression is he is kinda' slow on the uptake on top of not making an honest effort when in the field though, and wanted to have a nice buck story to share around the camp fire in the evenings.
I'll be honest with you, I don't think this guy's rep was even dented. The guys that are serious still love that trip and would not miss it for anything. They have great access and hunt all over the island and every one still loves the guy that tried to pull a fast one.
I stop in from time to time at their campfire if I am out there and... get a six-pack in him and he will put together a story about that buck that just keeps getting better every time we get him started. Actually, it is me who gets the ball rolling because I never get tired of listening to what his latest "recovered memory" of the hunt is.
BTW, he still is an underperformer in the field, but they say deer camp would not be the same without him and I ran into one of his friends he hunts with and he did get a nice mature fork horn this season. He was set up in a blind overlooking a trail leading to an apple tree and did get a dandy buck.
I just can't find it in me to have any ill feelings toward the guy. In all honesty, that buck is at the taxi and I am glad he got it. Almost everybody else in that group has a nice BT mount, including the "meat hunters" who also "lucked out" and I honestly am glad that he got lucky by drawing the "right" stand finally smiled on him.
From what I read in the thread: Cole was on the payroll of more than one company that sells hunting accessories. I used to run the largest hunting/shooting retail counter in the south sound area. Elevating people like this Cole Houston is a menace!! And sporting goods companies do it all the time!
I cannot begin to count the times a new enthusiast came in and had definite ideas about what they needed to improve their game. I had a heck of a time convincing that what they needed was number one to stop spending money and save to up money to buy the best binocular for their style of hunting that their budget could absorb and then to learn how to live behind that binocular when in the field and to spend time putting lotsa' ammo through what weaponry they already owned and to get off their butt and put miles on their boots every chance they get while looking at every little thing with their binocular, instead if purchasing some cockamamie contraption or product that guarantees....

I love the "field" photo with the mounted deer. You can see the eye is phony.And the alert ears.
