LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-07 AT 01:04AM (MST)[p]Here is a picture of a deer that was killed a about a month ago. It was killed near the Bear River bird refuge. A farmer found it when he was going to plow another farmers field. The buck was poached with a shotgun slug or muzzleloader. The fish and game was notified. They did their test and than did something unfair to the rest of us and gracious to the farmer that found it. They gave the deer to him. They have a law in Utah that they cant even pick up a shed horn in northern Utah let alone a poached buck. I have had friends that have had deer they have found hit buy cars and weren't even aloud to pick them up. The farmer that found the buck new the officer, he is also a good guy and wouldn't have poached this deer.
I know this is a very touchy subject to a lot of people on this forum. I don't know if I would have found a deer like this I would have said anything to the fish and game for fear of them taking it away from me, but on the other hand I would like them to catch the sob that killed this deer.
We all think it was poached by someone one who belongs to the Bear River gun club, because you cant get close to this deer without trespassing on a lot of private ground.
Any guesses to what it would score?
It has a little over 5? bases 7x 8 score able points, with a few smaller ones that I don't know if you could score. The eye guards are awesome on this deer. They are close to 5 inches long and bladed. I give it an outside spread of 27?. A main typical gross score of 175-180 and 20 inches of extras. For a total gross score of 195 to 200?.
