Also, I'd take this bet.

If this really happened in late June, I think it's an illegal alien. No regard to game laws or season dates. Wanted it for food. And was possibly spooked before being able to drag it away. To me, this scenario makes more sense. How's a seek 1 fanboy gonna get the ever important grip-n-grin shot in june?

You understand magazines like North American Whitetail have been doing cover stories on hunting huge city bucks since the early 90s?

Where big deer reside, hunters, poachers, knuckleheads, and all of the above will follow.

Again, it's the age of the internet that makes us think it's seek 1. It's just like cops wearing bodycams. Every time there's a screwup we all see it. Same stuff happened in the 80s and 90s, it just wasn't blasted everywhere instantly
