Default RE: Rabbit hunters killed the buck I was hunting?

I am not really sure if this is going on where I hunt, but it is rumored that the farmer who owns the land bought three kids a .22 magnum eac and said that he would give them 5 dollars for every dead deer that they bring in. Like I said, I am not sure of this, I havn't really seen any proof of it, but if it is true, it would REALLY make me upset. This farmer HATES deer. He would go out in the evening and take pictures of the bucks on his land, then show them to EVERYONE and tell them they can hunt there. What really takes the cake is that he got a picture of a buck that would probablly be a Pennsylvania state record. It is a PERFECTLY typical 16 pointer. He showed it to EVERYONE and now the place is like WWIII all through rifle season. I have actually seen this deer once, it was about two summers ago, I was scouting and I sat down on the edge of a field to watch for deer and he stuck his head out. He is MASSIVE. I havn't seen him since and I havn't heard of anyone getting him. Maybe someday I will be lucky enough to tag him. It just makes me sick though.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
