joeaveragehunter Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 So apparently not only did the guy from southern MN kill the world record 8 pt as his third deer of the season. The first two were not tagged or registered. He did not use a bow to kill this deer. He used a rifle. Fines $21000, up to one year in jail, and loss of hunting rights up to three years.

fly Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 One big 8 right there! Yea, too bad for sure. More of this is likely with the increasing emphasis on big racked bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 what a scrub.. his penalty should be a lot stiffer than that. without stiffer penalties, this stuff goes on alot more than we all know. in some counties in southern Iowa its a way of life.

layin on the smackdown Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I read the whole story in the Illinois Outdoors news paper, and i am a little confused. In the article i read, it stated the same as above, that he did not tag the first two deer he killed, which were killed with a bow, but that he did in fact tag this buck with his firearm tag. Hey, don't get me wrong here fellas, im with you all on this in that he should be fined for his wrong doings and fined as hard as possible; nobody likes a poacher... however, why is he being fined for this animal if he tagged it? Is it because he had already been ticketed for his first two incidents and was hunting without a valid license? Was he not suppose to be hunting after he was ticketed? If his licenses and tags were revoked after the first two offenses, how and why did he still have a tag? I am just a little confused on this whole thing...can someone help fill in the blanks? Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Him not tagging the first two deer didn't come to light till AFTER this buck was taken. Basically it sounds like he got ratted out which is awesome. I hope they throw the kitchen sink at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Anybody know what that buck scored? One source said 185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 One source said 185 Yep, the paper i read said it grossed 190 and some changed and netted 185 even...but that is also the green score...probably won't change much either way.

hungry hunter Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 So what all that means is He's a darn poacher, and will hunt the next state over. I would support life time ban of hunting rights in the U.S.A., greed for the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Dan Yeah, in Minnesota you can legally tag only one buck per season. There are party hunting provisions too, but it was clear that they did not apply to this case. He shot a smaller buck and a doe earlier that he never tagged or registered. Obviously making this big buck an illegal harvest. The DNR got tipped by local hunters who knew of the deer and had been getting trail pics of this ~185'' 8 pointer. The area where this all takes place is very small town enviornment where everybody knows everybody. Some people knew he had already taken a buck and news of this deer spread like wild fire. Upon investigation, he admitted what he did. It was also brought to light that he may have even shot this deer with a firearm, not a bow like he claimed. It was before the firearms season as well so he pretty much just stacked up the charges. So like I said...What an idiot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
