I've hunted all my life.
The airport is a political subdivision of the state run by politicians. After I killed the deer one of the politicians started accusing me of illegal actions so he could get the antlers. That's when I gave them to the game warden. Well that makes sense now

Its a property owned by the airport, not actually on the airport
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

the fact that all this hate and discontent is over deer antlers, is proof that antler hunters are often insane

He already explained that. Good luck, and hope the jerk loses his job. Doesn't sound like airport authority is even a paying job.
I know I'm paranoid......but am I paranoid ENOUGH???

I don't think this guy is the top dog.
About 40-45 yrs ago, before bobcats were even recognized as being in SE Nebraska, a kid shot one. They were not protected. He showed it to the local game warden, who confiscated it, had it mounted, and put it in his house. He ended up losing his job for taking the bobcat from the kid..........so there is justice. Sounds like the DA is on the right side and hopefully it'll turn out well.

This sounds like a cut and dried case of antler envy.
AirportTrapper was hunting legally and with written permission. He saw trouble coming after he killed that monster buck and handed the antlers over to a game warden for safe keeping. After getting them back they were stolen from his office by someone with bad antler envy.
I hope you successfully prosecute the guy.
If it were my buck and I was aware of the potential trouble those antlers would have never been in my office where they were vulnerable to theft.
Eh...wot?

None of it makes sense-who hunts at an airport? Some airports have a "buffer zone" at the end of runways for a variety of reasons, safety, noise, expansion, etc. I have hunted a "buffer zone" property own by the airport before, strictly controlled but open to the public.

None of it makes sense-who hunts at an airport? My dad had a friend who hunted airport property all the time. The pictures of the deer he passed up would make most antler hunters green with envy. He hunted a smallish county airport that nobody thought to even ask permission to hunt. The deer, for the most part, are not harassed, eat really good, and grow old. We used to go in after he got his deer and trap coons. It was nothing to go 30/30 on traps set around the dumpsters.

I managed an airport for 9 years and we had a permit to shoot coyotes, deer, turkeys anytime but at that time you had to cut the antlers in half if there was over so many points on a buck and if you gave the meat away you had to issue them a receipt and log in where it went and send the information to the state at the end of the year. Bad enough hitting a deer with a car, way worse with an airplane.

We didn't have a deer season till I was in high school and it sure was a different time than today. I think all this antler worship is a sickness, unbelievable how some people act.

I am asking why he felt the need to give possession up? Makes no sense ,your legal let them accuse all they want. They want em , let them get a court order and the sheriff !
