Anybody heard about this one? Subject: Big Deer Poached in Fayette county. The guy shot it from the road with a rifle. Stuck an arrow in it and tried to check it in.

This topic (with pics) comes up every year around this time. True? Maybe. Jealousy? Most likely. Speculative and lacking proof? Absolutely.

Yours truly,
I just got it in an e-mail and a guy at work was telling me aabout it. Word was he took it to be checked in and was caught. Have no idea if any of it is true, but it's a hoss to look at either way.

If he did poach it in Fayette Co. he is going to get fried. They have one of the best gamewardens I have ever known and a hanging judge who likes to work over outlaws.

This story is in today's Commercial Appeal. 204 Green Gross B&C with 3 violations. Hunting a baited area, hunting w/o a license, and having a firearm during the archery season are the offenses. The deer was confiscated by the Tn GW's. http://www.commercialapp...-charged-for-deer-kill/

 Ricky Williams of Mason, Tenn., was arrested last week and charged with three game violations in connection to the killing of a gigantic whitetail buck in Fayette County. Williams was charged with hunting big game in a baited area, hunting without a license and possession of a firearm during Tennessee's archery deer season, according to reports on file at the Fayette County Justice Center. He is scheduled to appear before a judge at the Fayette County Justice Center in Somerville at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 26. The deer, which was confiscated by local conservation officers, was one of the largest ever taken in Tennessee. It had a "green" score of more than 204 on the Boone & Crockett scale. A 60-day drying period is required before it can be officially scored. The deer had more than 20 measurable antler points.

According to someone who has had problems with this guy before, the buck had 32 points. This guy is a 2 time felon and isn't even supposed to have a firearm.

having a deer like that confiscated would be the worst part of it all...oh yeah and the $3000 he is likely to have to pay

What would the fine be for the same scenario here in Mississippi? I am just curious how our fines compare to others. The $3000 fine is not near enough IMO.

This post is absolutely true, buck was killed 15 minutes from my mom's house right next to a friend's farm. Buck was actually killed from a deer stand with a rifle over a pile of corn, idiot actually left his rifle in the stand, WOs found it there. Sadly he will probably just get a slap on the wrist.

Trust me; I know the gw personally and know of the judge. He wont get some "slap on the wrist". He will be FRIED!!! He picked the wrong county to do this in. What an idiot.

the more I think about it, the more I can't believe it. First off the guy is a felon so he should be no where near a gun per the law, secondly - he has a cross bow, pile of corn, and a 200" deer apparently using that corn pile on a daily basis. Why in the hell did he not shoot the dang thing with the cross bow, which "i think" is legal for a felon to use, drag it to another unbaited spot and claim his trophy. He would be off the hook.
In the famous words of crippled old impotent McPawpaw, "dumb dumb dumb".
