That's my story and I'm sticking to it (57 pt killed in KY)

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

 

[Deer Assassin]

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.

 

[Chiflyguy]

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?

What a goon

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.

 

[huvrman]

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

 

[BSK]

It's the social media culture that doesn't understand the difference between "famous" and "infamous." As long as you garner attention, either is fine.

Social media is ruining hunting and fishing. It's no longer about spending a fun day on the water with family and friends. It's about Livescoping a limit ASAP so you can post "got my limit and back on the trailer by 10!" It's no longer about sitting with your back to a tree with a mouth yelper and a shotgun. It's about remote control decoys or fanning so you can be the first with a grip and grin on Fakebook.

 

[dgolden]

What an idiot!

 

[redblood]

That kid aint all there!

I guess if you consider this social media then I have it. But have never had Instagram or Snapchat. I did have Facebook for about 4-5 months when it first came out in 2009 or so. But couldn't really get into it. And honestly I don't really care what people I knew in high school are doing my 25th reunion is the 1st of October and I have no plans to attend. I haven't talked to anyone really since I graduated.

 

[peytoncreekhunter]

I went to the website of that hunting ranch. Looks like you could pay up to $10,000 for a deer like that.

I think what I was alluding to is I don't care for people who use hunting and fishing as a way to boost their egos.
I fished and hunted way before social media.
As an ex special forces guy, I bet you had some guys that joined for the "cool guy" factor.
Same thing with hunting and fishing.
Get rid of the ways for guys to blow smoke up their own ass and the woods would be empty.

Oh yeah just like any spec ops community be it Seals, Rangers or SF some guys just want the beret or tab or trident. Yeah I don't watch a lot of the hunting shows anymore on tv or YouTube. I do like Meateater, Pinhoti and there is a group of guys on YouTube called Blue Collar Outdoors. The blue collar guys just do a lot of pattern and penetration testing with different chokes, gun she'll combos for turkey and waterfowl. Also they do testing on broadheads.
