well Nomad, I would care? lol
and yes I know its legal to bait in ohio, and stated so in post,
what the difference is to me, is that deer maybe spent most of its life eating care free off bait piles and hand out, hell could have ben hand fed for all we know
and that is like shooting alost a pet?
NOT a wild deer with wild insitncts,or smarts
as for targeting it, cause it escaped from a pen?
hey folks can do what they want, BUT in no way shape or form to me, would that be the same as hunting after a true wild deer?
nor would the claim of killing a 200 inch deer be the same, its also why record books will not accept pen raised/high fence deer kills as such, which this is, so its not just me that thicks this way
it would have been anothernslightly different story, had he hunted not knowing it got loose, but I still would feel the same after he found out what he shot.
its a fact, not a guess on my part, the state of ohio, can fine anyone who releases high fence deer into the wild, due to they can pass on sickness to WILD deer
that is why IF they wanted to, they could take that whole deer, antlers and all off who ever shot it?
I would think they would want the head for testing(brain matter), and then have to give back the rack, minus a cape???
yes its a big buck, not saying other wise.
just saying, its NOT the same as if he hunted for a wild free ranging deer.
i've seen pen raised bucks up close and hand fed many??
like almost shooting a pet some are, have little , lets say street smarts??
I wouldn't have any pride in a kill of this sorts.
that's me?? others can make that call, but??
it is what it is?? no way around it
your a pa resident, and know we have poachers??
many poachers call there kills trohphy's too??
still ain't hunting fair chase in my book, the above is an extreme example yes
but???
