photos of the modena ghosts!!!!
 
SOB. Is that on the overpass at Modena? I thought I heard a lonesome train whistle blowing. Could of just been a over zealous HOG HEAD!
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-22-08 AT 04:49PM (MST)[p]I thought these bucks were "NOWHERE NEAR MODENA".

NEVADAKID, Are those your headlights shining on that buck?
 
Looks like those two bucks were the real life BAD BOYS...THey Live together, THey die together..BAD BUCKS FOR LIFE..or they were into that alternative lifestyle. LOL.
 
Well they asked for live photos and they got em! Good pics! They look pretty good on the hoof.

Still too bad that these magnificent animals were so brutally taken.
 
Nice trail cam photo's. To bad they are dead in a couple years they would be a couple pigs.
 
JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PUT THE RUMORS TO BED I WAS FIRST ON THE SCENE AND I REMOVED THE ROAD SIGN!!!!!!

That is definately the same buck that is in velvet but not the same hard horned buck. Notice the dead hard-horned bucks main beams and how far they turn in. I would say that is not the same buck. Just my two cents...

Steve
 
+1 Wiszard. The beams are a dead giveaway on the hard-horned buck, not the same. So, I guess that means there is a pretty good buck still out there.

T264
 
I thought the same thing, but upon further review of the horns, it is just the angle of the dead head that looks deceiving. It is actually the same buck, I wish it werent so. Einstein (pauns) knows exactly where this is at, ask him for some info.

photos taken not to far from where the deer meet their maker. read the whole thread peak, that the point it is nowhere near modena but some tards cant get that through their melons.
 
Yeah Peak, aren't you paying attention? They were right by the rodeo grounds/gas station/railroad/overpass just northsouth of Eurekalientodena on highway 50 just west of Piochanaca.
 
Yeah there's no doubt that's the same buck. I'm with jackrussel though, I wish it wasn't the same buck.

I wonder though, if so many people know "Exactly" where these bucks were hit, with such reliable sources, which it seems they do. Then there's probably a lot of people that know where they are now. It stands to reason doesn't it? Maybe there is a cover-up going on here after all. Way to shift the blame fellas!
 
The three of you guys from Nevada are the shiftiest of any others on this thread. If you guys didn't have something to do with this, you really should stop acting defensive. You're toying with your futures.
 
Have to do with what Don? The deer were hit on the highway period. How much more plain and simple can it get, vehicle coming down road, deer step out and get wacked, sounds preety simple to me. It was some of you folks that think something is fishy.

toying with our futures huh? wow guess knowing the location of a deer vs. vehicle accident and having photos of them is against the law now, was not aware of that but thanks for the heads up. i will keep that in mind.
 
The dead deer(hard-horned) has G-4's and beams that curl dramatically inward and is probably only 25" wide on his mainframe. The live hard horned buck is very "boxy" on the frame as well as almost straight up tines & upward curving beams, not to mention he is 2 inches wider. JMHO

T264
 
I don't think that is the same buck either. The live bucks main beams look to be about 20" apart at the tips, while the dead bucks only look to be about 15" apart. The live buck has a wedge point on his right g2 and the dead buck doesn't. Very similar, but not the same buck.
 
Is it just me or is there something wrong with the top photo. What's with the rack on the ground right behind the buck looking at the photographer?

uh, that's the velvet buck getting a drink.....

JB
 
The kickers on both sides of the live buck turn up at the end and the kickers of the dead buck on the ground sure look like they turn downward to me. The live buck has a much thicker wedge kicker off his right g2-g3 and the dead buck doesn't. The live buck has a small kicker comming off his left g2 and the dead buck doesn't. Also have to agree that the main beams on the dead buck are much closer together at the point then the live buck.

Not the same buck.


Jeff
 
I gotta eat a little crow here now, the hard horn buck in the photo is not the same as the dead one. Have just recieved word that the alive hard horned buck has had his photo taken again at the same waterin hole. I do stand corrected, and am glad to hear he is alive and well, although no where near modena.

Alright, which one of you guys works for NDOT? That's an Nevada Department of Transportation truck they're laying by. So who got the heads?

The BIG question is, what were they doing with the NDOT truck at Modena?






Long live the modena ghost's
 
George,

Why dont you tell us? What's the story on these big bucks? Were they killed around Caliente? What's the deal with the warden, is he hammering in the wrong places? I don't know the area at all, I am just curious. It sounds like the good ole boys are tight lipped. How come?
 
Looks like those pics are taken near a public building. Like a school or maybe a medical center. What's up with that?
 
Why would he owe anyone an apology? Have you ever heard of obstruction of justice. If there's an investigation going on and someone knows something, no matter how trivial, about it and they withhold that information it falls under obstruction. Don't think dleonard said anything any good investigator wouldn't say.
 
What is to investigate? They were hit by a vehicle on the highway. Mr. Warden should be spending better use of his time out in the field, not looking for cut off heads of road kill.
 
Nevada, thanks for sharing man! Good story and great pictures....crazy stuff and its to bad they had to go down that way
 
Ouch "JohnColter" comes out of nowhere with a slap down!!!!

Let me ask you this, If the warden shouldn't investigate this then whats to stop me from going and finding a nice buck and running it over with a old truck with a big grill and then just cutting the head off and calling it road kill. Just sounds like it could be (not saying every instance is) a new form of poaching, but thats alright it was just ROAD KILL.

Warden should be investigating this kind of thing or it may start to happen more and more if the dont.



Jeff
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-25-08 AT 11:47AM (MST)[p]John Colter also shares a computer with Jackrussel or at least the same ip address :)
 
The building in question looks an awful lot like the Lincoln county utility yard in PIOCHE.
 
I love seeing all the photos of these bucks. Best way to honor such a pair of beautiful animals. I'm saddened at all of the cursing and accusations being made on this and the other thread.
Suffice it to say that these bucks were hit on the road, even possibly by the NDOT truck. No proof of any of it. Though the person who found the deer should report it to their state's DWR, if they don't, what can be done? Anyone can have moments of weakness when it comes to this type of situation. All of this arguing back and forth has done nothing but fuel fires between sportsmen.
Maybe the Nevada guys have sounded suspicious. But who here doesn't know someone who says they found a set of antlers, or a deer head on the side of the road? I have "a friend" who found a 10" 2x2 some 13 years ago when I was just 14, he scores a whopping 34" B&C as a jackalope. Nobody cares about a buck like that... I think the issue here has a little to do with jealousy, along with sportsmen's duties to uphold the law.
Beautiful deer guys, Thanks for posting the pics!!!!
 
Dont think that you share the same computer as me!!! Sorry.
Unless your setting here in my office in my chair and I just cant see you.


Jeff
 
according to mortgage man, john colter and my self share the same computers cause of the ip address. Well your is the same as mine, so we must share the same as well.
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-25-08 AT 12:22PM (MST)[p]No you're on to something Jack :)

I don't see you two having the same ip though.
 
wierd, odd, bizarre....people jumped to conclusions about these bucks???????? That usually doesn't happen around here.... :)
 
I don't see anyone jumping to conclusions. If we all just look at the facts, we can easily figure out what happened here, but the people that know all of the facts aren't telling - so an investigation is in order. If you don't want to cooperate in this MM investigation, just don't say anything, and we'll make conclusions based on what we have heard. Sound acceptable to me.

MM investigation....How does one become an official MM game warden? I'd love to bust a few people on this site.
 
By posting on this thread, you are automatically accepted into the world of MM and are hereby authorized to conduct MM investigations. Feel free (no, obligated) to ask questions, and forward heresay information on to the local game warden.
 
I love these kind of MM investigations. Its kind of like our own version of "MM CLUE." All the insinuations and name calling.

"I think it was Jackrussel, with the truck, on the highway"

Do I win our game of MM CLUE.




Jeff
 
I think it was the guy who's blaming others the most....trying to get the heat off himself!
 
Ding Ding Don, your fries are done. You are so up in the night. Not even close. There are 3 things that you have brought to light. 1. You must of gotton your investigative skills straight from a cracker jack box. 2 you got them from the tooth fairy. 3. You are game warden or some sort of law enforcement. So how did I do?



Long live the modena ghost's
 
LMAO,


This is getting to be to much fun.

I think that I have an idea for a new board game. "MM CLUE".
I came up with it and I all you witnesses to prove it. My Idea and I want to get rich from it.

Jeff
 
George,

Just tell us straight. What happend? Did a buddy find the bucks hit by a car and dead and take the antlers? Is that why your tight lipped? Are you protecting a friend or mainly mad at the warden? I'm just curious what happened. I have no insight into this. Just curious that's all.
 
New's Flash. Perp has been arrested in connection to these deer. Stay tuned for more to come.
 
"ARRESTED"??????? I can't wait to hear the rest of this story. I figured a simple citation and a slap on the wrist would probably do it.

That'll teach the "PERP" to steal the heads off of roadkill. I know I learned something here.
 
What? There's a "perp" now? Before it was just roadkill and a over zealous warden putting pressure on innocent guys to get the horns for his collection. Now there is a perp? What happened? Was it the NDOT guy? His buddy? Local janitor? Were they killed on hwy 50 south of Eureka? Is it the same hard horned buck? So many questions now where before it seemed so clear. I'm shocked.
 
They were legit road kill, the problem came when mr. warden wanted the heads. The guy that had the heads was with a buddy when they came a knocken, things got ugly in a hurry and the buddy became a perp when he dropped the warden with a punch. Needless to say that in the end mr. warden got the heads and mr. buddy ended up in the hooscow. We will see what happens from here. Still don't know what that NDOT truck was doing east of modena.
 
Just fine, I don't the guy who was nabbed, I know the guy that had the heads, but his buddy is from out of state. I still stand by my words that the warden should be out looking for real crimes rather than busting someones chops, I mean him getting his chops busted, for cutting heads of road kill. Especially that there is no question of it being legit.



Long live the modena ghost's
 
This is getting really interesting. I would like to hear how this whole thing turns out.

Why did the Warden want the heads back if it was a road kill, unless it is illegal to cut the heads off road kill? I dont know NV's laws and dont know if it is or isn't legal to cut them off but would guess by the wardens actions that it must be illegal.

What is the NV law Jackrussel?

And were they hit between Modena and Panaca?



Jeff
 
Jrussel - Keep us posted on how things turn out for your buddies. I hope the warden doesn't try to pin something on them that isn't warranted.
 
"EAST OF MODENA", is in Utah. Could be a big problem transporting illegally taken wildlife parts across state lines.
 
My lord you still don't get it! These bucks were nowhere near UT. The whole Modena thing is a joke!!! GET IT!!!!! I think you might be beating a dead horse here... You should quit posting comments and let this one go....
 
Wait a minute!
Are we moving from the dead deer mystery into a horse beating investigation. Hopefully the horse isn't a wild mustang, because I know that's illegal.
 
got some more info on the perp. I found out he is from utah, I was told the Richfield area. I know that he is in the white pine county jail, supposed to see a judge on tuesday. I was told that the warden was from the Duck Water area, but I was not given a name.
 
I think I heard something about this last week, while on my delivery route in Salina, UT. I think the perps friend was from Salina. He supposedly has a history of this kind of response to law enforcement.

Hopefully the warden is able to get back out in the field soon.
 
Just read all the threads, this is classic, love it, got a bunch of people fighting over where these bucks were hit, some say utah and others say nevada, from the picture looks like to me back side of caliente summit heading south of caliente towards alamo. def not modena, but a funny joke. And others saying they were poached, and another guy saying hes going to get a old truck and start hitting big bucks like this on the highway, now that could be funny, who ever said that needs to get a clue, these bucks were hit on the highway, and ya someone from ndot probably picked them up off the highway because thats there job isnt it. And i would say nhp investigated it and called ndot for the clean up. Then some guy saying the picture was taken at the lincoln county maint yard, wich is green tin and no white brick, so thats out of the question, i hope you guys keep throwing out bs because this thread is for the books, cracks me up. And i have to admitt why is the warden trying to get the road kill back instead of out getting the the ones crossing over the state lines hunting and getting the spotlighters and the out of state coyote hunters killing deer and shooting dogs off of them. And another thing you can see a small buck hit on the highway and the thing will be crow bait and rott away, why arent they investigating them they could have been poached. Everyone has there points like just incase they were poached the warden should of investigated it, but nhp did the investigation, and the other points is why leave them there for the next guy to cut them off, i no i wouldnt, all good points, but by the picture ndot was doing there job. And for the points of others that have no clue keep posting your a crack up. And do keep it posted i would like to know the ending of this soap opera
 
Update on the horns of the ghost's. The perp has bailed out of jail, also found out that NDOW did not get the horns. Seems the guy with the heads had thrown them in the dumpster the day before NDOW came knocking. Dumpster was dumped and off to the landfill. Fight ensued when Mr. Warden got snippy and they guys buddy was short fused and snapped. Anyway Mr. Warden is not happy with situation, and now is looking for people who is allegied to be using apples at remote springs for bait. When will this guy get the picture, I guess a sock to the snout did not get his attention, I wonder what will.

It seems that alot of law breakers have his attention. Do you really want his attention? I know I don't. I'll continue obeying the law, thank you very much.

Oh come on Don, do you really think that cutting the heads off of a road kill is breaking the law. I dont care what the letter of the law reads, you have to interject common sense into every law. That is what I belive you are lacking in most. Your hollier than thou attitude is making me sick. You probably don't drive faster than the speed limit at any time, and I am sure that you always use your turn signals at every turn. As far has having his attention, if one has nothing to hide, he should not mind someones attention. However there is a fine line between attention and harrassment. In my neck of the woods justice is always fair.
 
YES, I really think that cutting the heads off of a road kill is breaking the law.....DUH!!!!! It seems to me that someone with common sense would obey the letter of the law and not assume that law enforcement will look the other way - because they won't. You're right, I don't drive faster than the speed limit and I always use my turn signals (at least when I think about it). In fact, I go out of my way to try and obey every law that I know about - to the letter. That way I stay out of trouble most of the time. Even if you have done nothing illegal, you will still get the attention of law enforcement at times. What I don't understand here is why would anybody force the attention of law enforcement on themselves by showing contempt and being uncooperative. And what kind of brainless idiot would punch a game warden? I guess he thought he could get away with it. Right?
 
Well if they are going to enforce this, they need to be taking all heads. I know that they only want 4 point or better heads, and to hell with the smaller ones. You either do all or none. Picking and choosing doesn't work. I don't know anyone who is going out of their way to obstruct this major crime violating investigation. It was brainless of the perp to punch the warden. But people do dumb things every day. I know that the DOT is investigating what and why their work crews were 3 miles east of Modena, looks like some heads may roll on this one. I hope that someone at the landfill finds the heads and they are not lost in vain.
 
Anyone else get an email or text with a photo of the Nevada Gov. tag holder and his "Modena Ghost?"
