A 15-point buck, known to some as Big Boy and others as Stickers, was among the most photographed animals at Side Cut Metropark near Bowling Green. Two men were convicted of poaching the deer.
Obama voter.
I have nothing against hunting, but shooting what amounts to a PET is just plain mean.
What a pair of losers. These are probably the same sort that see nothing wrong with gun bans as long as their huntin’ guns aren’t banned.
Now everyone knows for certainty what a lying, stealing, unethical POS of a man he is!
Google Maps shows it to be about 19 miles from central Toledo, to Bowling Green, oh. Unless this deer was held in by a high fence, it’s very possible that it traveled that far and WAS legally harvested by that hunter as he claims.
Are there 8+ foot fences all the way around these parks?
Nevermind, they plead. I should’ve read more than the exerpt.
Still it was possible, no reason to expect a buck to stay in one area, esp. during rut.
Nothing says redneck more than poaching. Hey yall watch this.
