I have nothing against hunting, but shooting what amounts to a PET is just plain mean.

What a pair of losers. These are probably the same sort that see nothing wrong with gun bans as long as their huntin’ guns aren’t banned.

So glad this a-hole got busted.

Now everyone knows for certainty what a lying, stealing, unethical POS of a man he is!

Google Maps shows it to be about 19 miles from central Toledo, to Bowling Green, oh. Unless this deer was held in by a high fence, it’s very possible that it traveled that far and WAS legally harvested by that hunter as he claims.

Are there 8+ foot fences all the way around these parks?

Nevermind, they plead. I should’ve read more than the exerpt.

Still it was possible, no reason to expect a buck to stay in one area, esp. during rut.
