RE: Stupid, Stupid, Stupid
The stupid part is hunters can't shut up. Have you ever heard of anyone getting in trouble over any old deer.
Bottom line this guy had what it takes to take a deer like this and there will always be someone, like the state, who will want to take it from him. If it wasn't a license it would have been something else. There was a guy on here in the past who also shot a big buck and it cost him. His mouth got him in trouble too.
He had to go around like he was somebody, well he is now.

WOW,what a buck. no matter if he knew he did'nt have a license on him which is totaly wrong,or he did just plain forget to buy a license that is a buck of a lifetime I would sure hate to have something in that caliber of a deer ever took away from me,that would literally make me sick to my stomach if I ever had a deer like that took from me,your gonna reap what you sow, if it wasn't intentional I would sure like to see him get the horns back........Ted

From what I read, it seems that he would've gotten away with it had he not toldanybody that he shot it on the 24th at dusk. His license showed a purchase time stamp after that and it's what got him busted. If you're gonna be a crook, at least get your stuff straight.
How is it an honest mistake if you buy a license the morning after you shoot a deer? How does that work? Do you forget that you shot a deer, go buy a license the next day, then that jogs your memory so you go track and tag the deer you shot the night before?

I hope you all keep up with the outcome. I still believe it's much to do about nothing.

Easy, he shot it the night before, went to pullout his license to tag the deer and relized his mistake.

Truely, he should have tagged him and claimed to have killed him the next day if he truely was trying to do something dishonest.
