Thats an awesome deer. At least they could have put his tongue back in his mouth. Give him back some of his dignity since he was taken illegally. Just nit picking.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

That's what some people will do so they can brag.[:'(] Happens more then most people think it does. Unless all those shots at night are Racoon and Coyote hunters.

I am witrh CHARLIE P on this one. When deer are in rutt in KS I would hear 2 to 3 shots every night. I know 1 laddy that all her deer where killed by her hubby yet she got them in lot of books and even on tv.She was found out when she got to go on sevral FREE hunts to kill for the camra.

I have killed a lot of nice bucks in ks with my bow. They all took many many days to patern and get a good shot.

To bad it was not taken legal

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

Well, the deer HUNT was ethical enough. He was just using his Dad's landowner tag from what I understand to escape the way the units are set up or something like that. Also, I was wrong, its a rifle kill. So it wasn't "poached" but rather taken illegally if that makes any sense or matters.

I saw an article in our local paper about a 260 class buck that was taken this year but they had no pictures to go with it as the hunter had sold the story to an outdoor magazine. Makes me wonder if it is the same buck. Two 260s in one year would be to much to expect from any one state. The story that accompanied was about an individual that spotted the deer while out working fence or something and he put a stalk on it. It also was his first deer with a bow. Starting to sound a little fishy to me based on the above post. If anyone knows any more about either story I would like to hear it.

The KS sportsman have truly been robbed on that one! [:@] What an absolutely tremendous animal!!!! [:-]

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

kansaswiderack, here is the buck you were talking about, killed by Leavenworth, along with the story. That makes 2 bucks in the 260 class to be taken this year here in KS. This one scored 266 2/8 green. Should be new record. After talking to more people about it, the deer was sick, that's why the guy was able to spot it on the 4-wheeler, drive home get his bow, stalk up to it was normal clothes, and then arrow it. I've heard a lot of people tell me that same thing, who's actually talked to the guy. Here's the story in the newspaper though about it.

That's sucks that that Big Brute in the first picture was poached. I agree with whoever said, if you're caught poaching then you should have your hunting rights provoke for that state for life!

Datamax Where did you get your story from I ddin't see any of that mentioned on this thread.

Isn't that one of the definitions of poaching?

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

Charlie I talked to the guy who sent me the email an hour or two ago. Illegally taking the deer with another tag is the same as poaching ? I do not know. If that is what it is defined as then yes, he poached this animal, but not in the sense that he shot it with a night light or out of season. Illegal but not in the the same way

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

well poaching or illegaly taken which is poaching in my book it still sounds strange to me

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

What a brute! Too bad he was taken illegally. Hopefully they will take away the hunting priveledges of that poacher for a long, long time.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

from what i've heard he shot the deer before rifle season (not sure if this is true) and used land owner tag on family ground but he lives in nebraska, maybe going to college?i also heard he might get it back because he an active member of the kansas national guards or reserves.i saw the deer and its really nice but i don't think it will score 260",maybe more like 200".its a sad story and i hope it works out for the kid that shot it.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

What a monster!!! Whether it was poached or taken illegally it still sucks that Kansas sportsman (who hunt ethically) won't have a crack at this guy. On the positive side, maybe this gorgeous buck planted his seed on a few occasions. One never knows.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

thats a nice buck, but what happened to that bow.He must have got a little to excitied and pulled the limb in half:D

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

to Poach;

1. To trespass on (another's property) for fishing or hunting.

2. To take (fish or game) illegally.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

Yup, I feel that way about all poachers in general. What they kill matters little to me.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

Like most it really distrubs me that this beautiflu buck was taken illegally.

RE: 260" nontypical pictures ....... KDFW siezed
 

Bottom line it still was taken illegally. Regardless if he was in college or in the guard if he took it illegally he should be held accountable for his actions. If he shot it say in August would it still be ok, because of his educational or military status?
