Heard this morning, Wed, that this deer is now in the possession of the MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESCOURSES. Apparently, as I was TOLD in a MN store this morning that it was CONFISCATED under some reports of discharging a FIREARM( BOW) in the city limits and the deer was retrieved accross private property with out permission to do so.
First--This deer was shot LEGALLY, on land where the hunter had permission---As a hunter, he did his job and followed the rules to a "T". Hats off for a job well done. Best I can gather everything was legal.
Neighbors had been hand feeding this deer for 5 years, supposedly. And they rode the DNR's rear so bad they had to react.
Hunter was accused of discharging a firearm, bow is considered a firearm in this city?????
It just goes to prove the the general, non huntung, public can influence outcome of such a great feat..By the way no charges were filed against the hunter--all were dropped, THEY just confiscated the rack---THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMM!!!!!
Any body else heard anything about this?
I heard this story from LaCresent MN all the way to Red Wing MN from 4 different sporting goods stores.
