that racks too big for his body.. he probably stumbles upon it and killed it. lucky him.. everytime someome kills something good theres allways haters who will dispute it. thats life. sucks being at the top. Hopefully all he did was right. and if fldxt knows him i believe hes probably a standup guy. I guess there will be more speculations to come.

I was reading in a white tail book that killing a white tail record buck is good and bad. You should take as many pictures as possible at the area you killed him at so you can take anyone who thinks you poached it to the area you killed it. You should show land marks in the pics to prove it right. also you should take pics with as many people as you can showing the date on the pic and time. The article i read said PICS PICS< AND MORE PICS.. a pic from your truck will not help you. but pics from the location where it fell will. clear far away pics and close up pics.

The article also said that everyone will start coming out of the woodwork trying to say you killed it illegally. So ima say this again and again.. PICS< PICS< PICS.. like i said.. not a pic from your truck holding the deer.. but a pic from where it fell with numerous people (if you can get them) and time stamp pics.

ive seen pics everywhere of really nice FL bucks. Mainly from past years and from those pics, i can believe that that deer was taken in Fl. and if someone even on our quaint forum knows someone who knows the guy then i really believe it.

And its from the everglades supposedly-the place where the majority of the runoff ends up from Kissimmee south. That is a very agriculture dependent area. Pesticides in the environment can be like steroids for animals. (Im not saying big deer eat just chemicals, its just my opinion)

Im sure if people are saying it was taken in a neighborhood, then the FWC and probably the USFWS will be looking into it and they can decide

if it was a known deer in a community, people have probably been feeding it. no wonder its rack is so big. been eating all the good stuff.
