Hmmmm. If they're guilty of , whatever crimes they are accused of, I hope they do the max time in prison...but I would not lend credence their guilt just b/c a hoard of govt officials descended upon them.

This business did MUCH MUCH more than just own Cornbelt Whitetails. With the kind of attn they got, and from the agencies involved, the outfitting business is far from the root cause!

I have yet to see anyone imply that the outfitting service was the root cause, or a cause at all in yesterdays events. The service will more than likely be gone after this, but they are not the cause, and probably the by product of the reasons why the feds showed up yesterday.
If anything the outfitting service is evidence and nothing more.
The outfitter has flirted with the law enough on their own over the years, but yesterdays events have to do with business stuff that went on with the company the owners of Cornbelt also owned in Knoxville.

Don't worry, the Department of Justice said today they are going after Lance Armstrong and not Jon Corzine.
It's all about who you know at the top. Eric Holder is a bad, bad A.G. don't you think?

There were rumors flying all around about this last year. Then, it died down and this is the first I have heard in quite some time.
As with you, if the rumors I heard re game violations are true,( I suspect some are) it is somewhat the norm for some of the operations up there. However, I did hear some that were a little beyond normal.
As with you, that is all I will say. I know nothing about the businesses in Knoxville. All I know from last year's talk is the connection to the outfitting service, not what was going on.

Don't know much about this incident, but I do know that Cornbelt got busted posting a picture of a deer that they claimed was on their property, but was actually taken from a trail camera in Kansas in about 2009-2010. They photo shopped the picture to take out the corn feeder in the background, but someone on ArcheryTalk caught it and posted the original picture as proof. Caused quite a stir and I really thought that would have been the end of them then.
That sort of opened the floodgate of allegations for a while. I do not know of any specific allegation that was prosecuted or confirmed by an arrest.

Are you implying I have violated game laws?

I never heard about a prosecution associated with the photoshop picture either (guess there could have been). I did see the AT thread and the pictures, and I saved a copy of the photos.

Huh??? I don't even have a clue who you are. I'm not implying anybody did anything.
