I'll try to find it but when the dnr posted it on Facebook he responded to their post with a picture of a bunch of big racks and said "they didn't get the big ones" 🤣 Savage.

What I don't understand is they confiscated 235 antlers but he was only charged with 3 counts of untagged deer parts and 3 counts of falsafying a harvest report. So how did they get the other 232 antlers?

3 counts of "Untagged deer parts" I mean who doesn't have a few of those laying around. 🤣

Sort of reminds me of the time about 15 years ago we got plane spotted at camp in Vinton County and about 20 minutes later a few wardens showed up. Surprising to me, and I'm sure the wardens, every single person had tags and licenses. He seemed miffed ans looked around and asked the owner of the cabin if he had tags for all these racks hanging around the porch and shed. There were probably 30 or so, most small, most been there for decades. The owner walked into the cabin and came back outside with two metal coffee cans full of metal tags and said, "here ya go, have a ball" .He rummaged around in them some and said have a nice day. I guess he didn't want to spend the rest of his day running metal tags that went back decades.
 
Local comments don't paint a great picture of the guy. He is just a poacher. He sounds like he lives life threatening people and doing whatever he wants. Maybe he needs to do some time in prison. They might change his demeanor.
