Did anyone else see the story on this buck? I read the NAW story on it this morning. Never had hunted that property before and with a borrowed crossbow and climbing stand. It's a good read! Congratulations to him

Rumor has it here in Clinton county the DNR have taken this buck
Not surprised if this is true. Hopefully it's not true. I've heard all the rumors as well, and innocent until proven guilty in my book. I can say just from the outside looking in that there were several things that just don't seem to add up.
And it could be completely true. I know how rumors work. All we can do is wait and see how it plays out.

I dont know anything about the buck have just seen the pics floating around. But there was one shot in morrow county a few years ago and the wardens took it. Come to find out it was a jealous neighbor that started the rumors and called them, the only thing they had on the kid was he didn't have written permission, the land owner got ahold of the wardens and threatened to sue them for taking that deer. He told them he didn't have to sign permission to let someone be on his property. They ended up giving the deer back. Until we hear the story I'm gonna go with some jealous neighbor is starting shit.
I really hope it was a legal and legitimate kill
No not really. The story I'm getting is that it was not shot on his sister's place but on the property of a DA in Wilmington that had been watching and hunting that deer. I know everyone seems to know everyone and everything in the county and rumors easily get going. Time will tell! Could you even imagine seeing something that looked like that buck coming though the woods. I couldn't even dream up a buck that looked like that. 
This the guy that has the video of the buck 6 days prior to being shot?No not really.

Now that the statute of limitations has expired I may or may not know of a turkey that was snatched off a county judges property, but a buck that size off the DAs property is just stupid if true.
I'm not sure! Been so busy trying to get a arrow in one I haven't been paying much attention to what's been going on in the world
I know he had those to guys with him in that one pic.Im assuming they helped drag it out. So that's three guys that know the real story. I'm guessing one or both gave him up
I don't think the hunting world needs anymore lies and deception. I hope this buck somehow did travel the unheard-of distance and this is all legit.
I watched some of the podcast he was on and to me he seemed somewhat nervous. Maybe it was just bc he was uncomfortable for whatever reason but the swaying of the chair the entire interview had me thinking there's more

From a law enforcement background the interview was off to me as well. It seemed he either was making sure he repeats the same details over and over till they are bullet proof or at least keep from being questioned/doubted. He really didn't strike me as some lucky hunter that just happened to stumble across a world class deer.

I don't recall seeing anything on the (possible) history of the buck but ran across this from a little over a week ago.
