THIS BUCK WAS POACHED OUT OF SEASON NEAR FARMINGTON N.M., THE HORNS WERE RECOVERED...... HE IS 37 1/2 WIDE & 9X11 POINTS
Thanks to an OGT tip, Officer Brad Ryan was tipped off to the person that poached this trophy buck out of season. Officer Ryan investigated the case that actually was initiated over 1 year ago. Thanks to the sketch by a deer enthusiast and a concerned tipster, Officer Ryan was able to unravel this case and retrieve this illegally taken magnificent trophy.
On December 29, 2004, Reggie Bell plead guilty to illegal killing, possession and unlawful transport of game. Bell was initially fined $1,500.00 plus court costs (instead will serve 323 hours of community service), voluntarily agreed to forfeit the 7 MM Savage rifle the buck was killed with and assessed a civil damage of $250.00 for the civil loss of the deer to the state.
Fortunately a cape was found and the buck was mounted, it now hangs in the NEW MEXICO GAME & FISH OFFICE in ALBUQUERQUE N.M.
Hunting is Life...everything else is
Just details.
