Sadly, it's not shocking to me that people will cheat to kill a big animal anymore.
What's worse, is I tend to look at my hunting bretheran with more suspicion now when a monster is killed because of it.

Out of season, closed units, game farm animals, etc. 

I'm not convinced social media has advanced our species.  It shows just how low that limbo bar can go.

Sad, but this is the direction we're going as a society. We are all about cult of personality worship. killing a huge deer is a way to achieve that 15 minutes of fame narcissism.

Guy posts pictures of his buck in September then kills a bigger buck in November and gets it mounted and is showing it off at the sportsmans expo and it still takes a tip from a concerned citizen for him to get caught. Seems they should've caught onto this one earlier. Glad he was caught though

The headless body was located by locals.  DNA a single hair and the guy is toast.

Worst thing is, it only takes one cull like this to give us all a black eye.

There's no need to DNA a hair.  He admitted to shooting it in November and putting his 2nd whitetail buck tag on it.

Hopefully the idiot gets serious fines and loses his hunting rights

I don't believe the Lacey Act applies because he didn't sell the buck or its parts. As far as him being a D-Bag is concerned, I agree. All poachers are D-Bags. Should he get massive fines and loss of license? No more than other poachers and what the law allows. I'm not sure if they have a "trophy-class" law in WY, but I disagree with those. All poached animals should be the same level of punishment. IMHO, I think it's a disservice to wildlife to make the poaching of one animal worse than another of the same species because of the headgear. He was an idiot and he got caught. Good!  :tup:

Wow, hope they throw the book at him.  What a tool.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

A friend from Montana emailed me and says the guy works at a high school as sports director.  I don't see how the District keeps him in that position if that is the case.

I'm sure they have rules on breaking the law and to which extent it's an issue of employment. Some schools also have ethics laws.

Makes me  :bash:


Totally robbed the folks who watched him, knew of him and kept folks awake at night wondering where to find him during hunting season.  That buck in all of his glory will now only be a waste or a reminder of it's life being stolen from the folks that enjoyed him.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
