Default RE: Buck Shot Illegally In Wi

My dad's neighbor just got busted. We had known him for over 25 years. Not sure what is gonna happen as his court date is in January, but needless to say disappointed in him.

He shoot a 9pt that supposed dressed out at 215. He knew he hit him but did not think it was a good shot and made no effort to recover it. By his own words he shot a 250lb 10pt no more then 3 minutes later. He saw it fall and went to tag it. He then saw the oringinal deer about 30 yards away dead in a bean field. Problem is, Indiana has a one buck rule. Problem #2 is he did not check either deer in.

I was really irate when he complained that the CO MADE him use his buck tag on one of the deer to avoid prosecution. As it stands he is currently charged with illegally harvesting 1 deer. CO let him walk on the other. IMO CO lost all credibility for letting him walk on any of it.
