Ethics in hunting, the story of my once in a lifetime Buck....

[Billy Goat]

Could be the op shot it from 800 yards, and someone else was closer and got to it first.



It's surprising how many stories I have heard of laying claim to something shot by someone else.


I'm guessing something got cut short in the upload.

He shot it, cleaned it, skinned it, caped it, hung it. I snuck in there that night and stole everything. Thanks for the deer. Sucker! I also took his lucky hunting cap - just to be a jerk.

I saw a huge buck a few years ago in an OTC unit and haven't seen him since. Hopefully some unethical A-hole didn't shoot him before I get a chance to try and find him again.

Well I should be thankful that there are no OIL deer where I hunt so consequently there are no other hunters. I guess I need to up my game.

Sounds like somebody had a hot dog and thought it was a sandwich.

My 12 year old missed this buck this last year during Muzzy season. If anyone killed it let me know. I have over 5 minutes of video and the missed shot. I figure that is worth half the meat and maybe one side of the antlers.

I'm guessing he got hacked..? Seems odd to post what he did with no immediate follow up.

OK, I'm confused but, I'm not alone. Maybe it was all just a dream.

Is it possible that in the telling of the story, the poster had a full on breakdown??

Like really lost it, is wandering around in his backyard naked with his kifaru on wondering, if only he had manscaped that maybe the situation could have turned out differently?



Or perhaps it was his Vortex scope, we know it wasn't the Tikka.

Rumor is that he was hunting with a vortex LHT and dropped it in the snow for 5”. It lost zero and he shot off his horns. He was so disgusted he couldn’t even tell his grandpa!

I got multiple once in a lifetime things hanging on my wall wife doesn’t buy it anymore.

Talk about click bait….

I think he’s a Chinese spammer. Probably now that he has us all interested he is gonna try and sell us extended warranties for our cars.

 

[Travis907]

Well………we are waiting patiently on the edge of our seats!

I guess he wants us to continue speculating the details of the hunt or he’s toying with our emotions!

 

[butcherboy]

I think he has read the threads giving him a hard time for claiming something that wasn’t his to claim in the first place and decided better off not pouring salt in the wound.

164 days ago, as the OP posted, was August 15th 2021, likely archery season. He says he shot it, but someone else harvested it. Sounds like it was still walking around when someone else killed it. I know in some states, if you remain "in pursuit" once you shoot an animal, then that animal is still yours, despite someone else finishing it off.

But, considering the lack of information, I find myself NOT appreciating the OP's post.

Seems likely. No posts for 9 months then this strange cliffhanger.

Prolly sitting back playing with his junk getting his rock off reading all the comments. Maybe blow one last bowl before calling it a night.

 

[Jethro]

Only now do I feel some acceptance and comfort to finally tell my story outside my circle of trust.

Maybe he’s just not ready yet. Be patient.

Dear Rokslide Forum:

I never thought this would happen to me...
