I remember reading a story about a deer hunter who had shot a big buck (his biggest?) and had a couple CPOs show up at his house days later saying they had "been told" that he poached it. They had seized the deer at the taxidermist. Despite THREE trials, no physical evidence and the cops never producing the supposed witness or even naming him, the guy was convicted and just gave up. There was a big defense fund drive that was successful but the guy gave up maintaining his innocence and saying it was taking too much of a toll on his family. The hunter was the only one with actual witnesses who vouched for his lawful actions.

Might have read it in Deer & Deer Hunting and I think it was in Maryland maybe?

Anyone point me to the story?
