It's definitely the word on the street. Rumor mill running wild. We will find out soon enough. It's like a daytime soap opera for grown men.
Guilty until proven innocent…..

Right. That "poached and confiscated" bothered me. It may have been confiscated but everyone is due their day in court.Guilty until proven innocent…..
When an investigation starts, and they go all in, I can guarantee no one can pass an investigation unscathed if they want to dig deep enough. I’s dotted, T’s crossed….
It is all about who you know and who you piss off. The DA could just be pissed that someone killed "his deer"

I was told years ago by a local warden that if you're in the outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking or whatever then there is something you're doing wrong. He said we get those regulation books from wherever you get your license but his book is 4X as big. If he interacted with someone his attitude towards them depended on how they acted when he first made contact with them. Hence, if you're polite and treat him with respect then he would treat you the same. Golden rule boys. It goes a long way.

I read a guys(a direct friend of a friend of the guy that shot this deer)(allegedly)) post in a FB group that this deer has NOT been confiscated, and that their local GW came out and everything checked out. This post was made this morning. Dude could be full of shit and not know the hunter and just saying that to get a response, I’ll see if I can find it again.
If it is deed confiscated, I would say they have everything they need for a conviction. Could you imagine the backlash to the judge and GW if he isn't guilty. This is a WORLD class buck, not state.

Good deal
I hope he knows what he is talking about
I like to think it’s possible to kill a world class deer in Ohio without breaking any laws!!!

Nobody owns a damn free range deer. I don't care how big the rack is, its just a deer. I'll never understand grown ass men acting like they are in a relationship with a deer. It could get splattered on the road just as easy. If a buck you are hunting was legally and ethically taken by someone else and checks out you don't have to like it, but move on.

I hope it's true! I love the story and would like to see it the new state record.
The golden rule will work on the vast majority of any interaction with just about anyone…… But be ready when that gut feeling creeps in and tells you something ain’t right….
Just remember, a local cop, sheriff, game wardens all work for people. The amount of politics that get involved in everyday life can be mind boggling….. It’s a small world and social media has made it even smaller…..

You just hit the nail on the head.
Being cooperative and polite during a random license, tag, and weapon check in the woods is the right thing to do. Anything beyond that and it's time to get an attorney. Cooperating in any investigation regardless of innocence without the advice of counsel is never a good idea.
For anyone interested, here is a good article written by a lawyer on how an innocent person can get hemmed up in an investigation. You can see how their own statements are twisted and used against them to paint a picture of guilt.
Should I Talk to Law Enforcement if I am Innocent?

A few months ago I had the ATF leave a note in my mailbox and show up a couple days later. They wanted information on some things I sold a local guy that they had in custody over a laundry list of things supposedly . I answered as generically as needed and they were on their merry way after i wouldnt cough up more as i hadnt done anything wrong and wanted no part of it. The guy agent was a douche but the female was nice and straight to the point , seen the good cop bad cop game before .

Been a firestorm of trash talking and accusations on a FB personal page I follow of a guy that buys a lot of antlers and has a trail camera/seed selling business. Here’s just a few things that make you go hmmm

If it's was all legal I hope he screws with all the people slandering him and sues the hell out of them or make them think they are gonna get sued. And if it was poached I hope they throw him under the jail.
