Stat, I agree with you 100%.There is a similar situation going on here now.Guy I know has a relative that shot a monster of a buck with a bow.I ain't getting into time frames here,But it is waaay to suspicious for me They ,Him, or somebody posted some pics of this brute on a cell phone.Been going around for a while .I believe that this deer could possibly be a new state record.Now if the DNR gets involved ( which they should in the case of a record) you know they are going to do a complete investigation up to and probally checking this guy's anal hairs.Everything will come out eventually.
