I went to the grocery store today and while getting stupid stuff like...food, there was two guys talking. One told the other that his brother was arrested for shooting his 15 point buck. He said when the brother got his deer to the car, DNR pulled up and looked at the buck and the tag. He then put the brother in 'cuffs and ******ed him to his car. Turns out the guy shot this massive 15 point buck with a shotgun and put his bow tag on it. Shotgun season doesn't start here until December 1st. The guy shot the buck with two slugs and took it to his car. He didn't even have a bow with him and does not bow hunt, but felt it wasn't right that bow hunters got to hunt the rut and gun hunters didn't. Anyway, his daughter came out and got him after he lost the buck, gun and car to DNR and won a $5000 fine. After his daughter got him home, he took her car and went out and got drunk. On his way home, he got stopped by the state patrol and arrested for DUI and driving without a license.

The guy finished up by saying that his brother thought he was going to get out of the fine and loss of car because he bought a tag to hunt during the rut. The fact that he did not take it with a legal weapon for this period was irrelavent.

I left the grocery store and had to laugh at the fact that this dipwad poached, got caught, and thought he was going to beat the state code. Then I thought about that 15 pointer that a bow hunter will never have a chance at and the laughter stopped.
