Poacher busted at expo.

I posted the story of this guy a couple months ago that poached this whitetail in Ohio before the season started, took it to Kentucky and let it sit in the woods for a few weeks, then checked it in as a Kentucky kill. It was the biggest typical whitetail killed in the U.S. last year. He ended up getting busted at a deer expo a couple months back.

Here is the story of it that was recently posted on ESPN.

Kind of nice he ended up with $25,000 in fines and lost his license for life. Even though that probably won't stop him from doing it again.

Sure wish he would get a long jail sentence too... I'm sure he'll do it again since this isn't the first time.

What a buffoon.
Ten prior convictions and he shows up with a new State Record Buck.

Thanks fo the update...!!! Glad he was charged, and got a stiff penalty. This guy is a total D-bag...

It's sad when poaching is such a problem guys can anticipate it happening like the two Ohio guys who had photos of the buck. They are the real heroes of this story.
