Update: New Revelations Come Out About Derek Settle’s 57-Point Whitetail Buck

Startling revelations have been unearthed after Derek Settle said he killed a 57-point whitetail in Kentucky. Here's what we know now.

www.fieldandstream.com

The big deer supposedly killed in KY, turns out it wasn't in KY after all. And it was high fence deer.

No duh

 

[Chiflyguy]

Never understood the high fence stuff.
I've browsed some places and to pay thousands based on rack size is nuts.
That's just me.

 

[rukiddin]

Oh what a tangled web we weave………………

 

[Coker]

No telling how much that cost him.

Holy cow!
I can get a real nice boat for $18,000.

 

[Coker]

That is insane. I bet the hunt didn't last 2 hours.

My only question and please think about it before you blast me. And don't get me wrong he is mentally challenged for not checking on the transportation regs for Kentucky prior to traveling on a hunt out of state. But why would he burn his one Kentucky tag for the year after he already purchased a "guided" hunt and an Indiana out of state license and tag. That doesn't make sense to me. But like I said he is an idiot for not checking and knowing the regs before he left Kentucky to kill a deer in a bordering state.

Or am I missing something here?

He wanted to be a #prostaff queen.
Seen it happen before several times. Even to a guy that used to be on here.
Guess the allure of fame makes people do stupid stuff.

 

[RUGER]

My thing is, if it went down as the article suggests, WHAT made him think he would get away with it???

 

[TNGunsmoke]

He's busted, and knows it. Now he's just trying to save his rear end and get out without costing him a bunch more money, loss of license, or jail time for fraud.

I've noticed a trend with the evolution of social media.
Hunting and fishing is more about self promotion with many and not about the why a lot of us do it.
Sure I put up pictures on Fakebook for my friends and family to enjoy but that's about it.
I'm like Ricky Bobby. I hunt and fish for ME.

Exactly, I hunt and fish for Me and love to share it with everyone else.

What RUGER said. He somehow orchestrated in his mind that he could get away with it. What really cracks me up is him messaging F&S saying he just shot a 57 point and asked if they wanted to do a story . And then when he got busted he blamed it on them and didn't even spell his wordings right

 

[akachuck]

This story is confusing, is it high fenced? What about state lines? Private or public land? Either way I know it's an illegal deer and he needs ALL outdoor privileges to be revoked and put behind bars. HUNTING AINT NO SPORT!!!!!! Feed the family the antlers are always a plus. My 2 cents no one asked for

 

[SwampChicken]

It's all about that grip n' grin for some folks...

 

[backyardtndeer]

His actions really didn't make sense to me. Not real bright.

 

[fairchaser]

Not too smart. A deer like that would likely have a DNA analysis done to verify its origin. His hunting career is toast as well as his credibility.

The moment you go from being a national celebrity to getting that "pit in your stomach" feeling and realize it's all over…
