Seems like everyone likes it when the bad guy gets caught. What are your thoughts on this?

First if you have to hunt over bait you need a lesson on hunting.JMO Second if I paid to hunt their and then was told not to kill the big one,I would be like what`s the point.I liked the whole deer hunting thing more when I was a kid and we had a blast killing 100 inch deer and everybody hunted on everybodys ground.Hardly evan remember seeing posted signs then.It sure has went down hill I think.

I'm not going to pay money and then be told you can't shoot certain deer..Not in my best interest to hunt such places.

Shooting deer in a driveway baited with corn out a a cabin on stilts isn't hunting to me. To each their own. I'm also not a rack hunter and believe that a this nonsense about deer inches and bucks needing to be of a certain age is ruining the sport. It's lead to massive posting and leasing of land by rich hunters and hunting groups to where it's a pay to play sport. The leases around me pay so much for the "right" to hunt that my friends and farmer buddies say sorry to me. These people will always come up with more money. They don't want you trapping but complain about predators. I find myself ranting now. Sorry

Was this just a code that was established or actually something in writing posted that protected the buck? If not, how could he be referred to as a poacher? Some of the other things he did were a violation of the laws in the state of Texas such as crossing state lines, not checking the deer in where he supposed to, etc. Had he done that maybe the punishment might not have been so severe. The fact that he didn't tells me that he knew he was guilty and the shooting probably wasn't accidental. He knew this was a protected buck before or after he shot it?


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I thought the sport was scored by the size of the antlers? How do you score the sport?

Sounds like if he had a land tag put on he would have been legal.

If he had shot the buck and legally tagged it, he would have been kicked off the lease and would not get his $12,000 refunded. That's it... nothing illegal. He knowingly killed a buck that was off limits and rather than risk the humiliation, he illegally removed the antlers from the ranch (threw the meat in the brush) and took it across state lines.

Yes he would have, but he would have been kicked off the ranch and forfeited the $12,000 he paid for the lease.

Its a deer, with horns no less. Some one spent ALOT of money to get ole Skip in hot water. The thing here is that he violated the trust of fellow hunters, thats unforgivable. The fact it was a big deer makes the story. But to each his own.

I hunt / trap as a means not a sport.
Lots of true statements above, and the destruction of opportunities for the youth .
In the end when it comes to a vote ( I truly believe we will see that ).
You can bet the people alienated or have not had opportunities could care less about your dilemma.
Sport hunting will be a huge part of the causes and loss of hunting for all.

The perpetrator deserves the results of his lust.

I don't believe I could be part of the club, just doesn't set well on my mind.
