I found this statement on another forum
I went to the Outdoorsman on Wed. I talked to one of the employees and here is what he would tell me about the deer in question.
1. The deer was taken in Indiana and was taken near Morgantown 1.5 north of ( I had heard Martinsville too, but the employee said Morgantown.).
2. The deer field dressed at 225LBS.
3. It measured 221 green by two of there local/regular Taxidermists (when I questioned him about their qualifications he stated they were very knowlegdable and trustworthy).
4. He would not give any info on the rummors, just that there are a lot of envious people out there.
5.It was taken with a shotgun.
So as of right now that was the info I was given from the Outdoorsman. The employee also said that there have been 8-10 200+ greenmeasured deer this season, numbers are down, but quality is up.

I won't comment on the rumours because that's all they are--so DD,s comments don't matter much either--although they probably are more accurate than most of us want to admit! What I see is a buck that , with deductions, as a typical ,seems to me ,would ahve a hard time making it to 220. But, it doesn't take away from its being a great deer none the less--regardless of score.

I am completely comfortable saying I would not have shot this deer or any other if I was out of tags. THAT IS POACHING. As for the buck in question I can't see 200, much less 220 typical, but what an awesome buck!

DD, i agree with you 100 percent. I think many hunters would have done the same thing. From what i have read, this guy did himself no favors though. He could have bought the kids license BEFORE the season started and then simply had the kid take the deer in and he probably wouldnt be facing so many questions Of course, had he done this, he would in no way be associated with the deer. He likely checked it in becuase he wanted the pic with him in it. Im a member on the site where you got that post about the employee at the Outdoorsman, interesting that he wouldnt comment on the legality of this deer considering they are willing to tell you anything else you would ever want to know and even will give you pics, also interesting becuase it was actually an employee of that shop who started the story about the alleged "party hunting" that had taken place.

On a side note nice buck. I hope the deer was taken under the premise of fair chase though (AKA legally).

With folks picking and choosing which law they will follow and which they will not,well no wonder the woods are full of bad hunters. Its not a question of me walking on water,I would not shoot a deer illegally.
Read any of the forums and you will see you are not alone.Many many people out there hunting just like you. It is because of folks like you thatI will never allow anyone to hunt my land. Just to many headaches[:-]
