LAST EDITED ON Feb-14-14 AT 04:49PM (MST)[p]CAfork and other critics,
One reason why I did the contest for 5 days, because I thought with too much time some may try to photoshop pictures, and make fun of the hunter. Also, the kill picture should already have been shared like the pictures of the hunter hoiding the buck on Nov 1st, 6 days after the hunt, still not caped out, with 60 degree temps in the afternoons.
I also did this post, because some of the hunters friends had a "in your face" attitude of show me a picture of the buck after the hunt. I personally, and others believe the buck was shot tuesday or wednesday night after the hunt, near the canal where it had been hanging out for days prior to its disappearance. Again, I'm not sharing evidence or statements that were passed on to the DWR.
The DWR like on other suspious activity/cases have asked sportsmen to send info or statements to them as grizzly stated. Since I know quite a few sportsmen and have family in the area, I like OTHER'S told people if they have accurate info and are willing to testify to it, about this buck, send it to the DWR.
I have simply said if the hunter or a friend would show a kill picture of the buck in a legal area above Hyde Park, that would help him with his story, and show evidence against his critics, it would be very helpful. The hunters friend Butts,said there was a phone at the kill scene. Probably at least two.
It is very interesting to me as an observer, that Butts said at least the "defense has A picture" I would think if things were done legally the hunter would have many kill pictures given to family and close friends, like the KSL bucks.
I'm willing to bet that if any of hunters who have their pictures on the KSL link would gladly accept 2K for a picture if I promised I wouldn't put it on the internet. After all they ALL allowed there pictures to be posted, probably for free.
The hunter or friend can send a daytime picture of the buck killed on the face to the DWR officer:
[email protected] for the next 5 days and still collect now 3K from me. I will get a hard copy picture from officer Schulze. That is plenty of time to email a kill picture to the DWR, and get paid for doing it. I can arrange cash to be at a Tremonton business.
If the hunter has a deal with a magazine he can still do it, and get now 3K.
I put the ball in the court of the hunter, or friends on a tee. I can't make it any easier.
I'm not rich, I have five kids, one on a mission, I work two jobs, just trying to possibly help resolve things.
Some thoughts:
1. Why have things been so secrete?
2. Why does someone need a cash reward to offerd for a picture if things were legal?
3. Why was the buck not caped out for at least 6 days after the hunt. If I had shot a monster buck it would have been done the same day or the next day. The picture that Butts said that was taken on Sunday Oct 27th at noon, just a few hours after it was shot, did not change from the November 1st picture that the hunter was holding, except a foot or so of the bucks neck was cut off. That is a little strange to me.
I could list more than 15 very strange things about this buck missing, but readers get my point.
I don't know any details about the DWR case. Normally you would have friends and family who had kill pictures of this monster buck. I'm sure the DWR didn't go around and collect everyones pictures. LOL.
I'm pretty sure NO DAYTIME kill pictures were taken, especially on the face of Hyde Park in a legal area.
Please let's act like grown ups and be civil. Again, this has nothing to do with the DWR case.
Thanks,
Greg
