[X(] Ausie-guy; Anyone stupid enough to pull a stunt like that is usually stupid enough to leave their trail. Ask around that small town, deer processors, local folks with small businesses, etc.. I would bet you will turn up some chatter about a big one taken locally. Just start up a conversation and say something like, "sure wished I could tag a big one this season, any of your buddies seen signs this year, mine have been all doe and immature bucks, so far"? You'd be suprised what might surface. Good luck and my sincere condolences on your busted dream.
