Default RE: When does a Kill become a Pickup?

There are a lot of fishy things about his hunt that COULD have happened but are more than likely not going to happen on a typical hunt. The buck had that much velvet? Come on, I notice that big bucks do the rubbing first and they do it ALOT. That buck looks like it didn't even rub its antlers at all. Sure, it could have naturally had that much velvet but chances are, we will never see a buck that has that much velvet on its antlers. Why would anyone give up looking for a world class buck? I can see people having to work or go to school and such, but it wouldn't matter to me. I would have searched for that deer no matter what. I wouldn't have gave up just because it got dark, I would have broke out the lanterns and continued my search. Why would he look by himself? I would have everyone I was friends with out there trying to help me get that thing. HE never recovered the deer. The FARMER recovered the deer. Why in the world would a MONSTER buck lay in a field to die? Wouldn't he head to the thickest, nastiest stuff on the face of the earth? Why didn't Zaft look around for evidence that it was his deer? How does he know it was the same one? He can't possibly be 100% sure that the buck he found, was the buck that he shot. He has NO PROOF. Mitch Rompola is more believeable than this guy. I know that I am going to hear it for that, but he is. He has a LONG history of shooting HUGE bucks, he has a picture, he had the body of the deer. He just simply didn't want to get it scored because he knew what would happen. What proof did Zaft have? His word? What does somebodies word mean now? It means NOTHING, you can't trust anybody by there words.

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