I drove from St. Louis area to saline county and I think the deer are smaller there than around the metro east. It’s wild to hear people drive from North Carolina to hunt in fucking Pope county. I wonder if he was in Shawnee or other public land
Pope County born and raised. The number of people from the South that knock on my door asking to hunt is honestly unreal.
As far as the deer are concerned, I’ve taken 5 P&Y bucks off the Shawnee in the last 7 years, 4 of which were over 150” 2 of those over 170”. But not all Shawnee is equal, you have to know where to look.
There are monster deer all over stretching most of the length of the Ohio River regions pretty much from Pennsylvania on down with the most consistent big ones from southern Indiana and southern Illinois it seems to me. Glad you’re finding luck with bigger deer more local to you, certainly makes the trip easier haha
But yeah not sure if he was on public or private, either way glad they caught him.
Poachers. You mean poachers. And I'm curious, would it be okay with you if they were from Illinois and hunting without a permit, or out of season? You haven't taken any deer you didn't have a tag for, have you? Because many out-of-staters do hunt legally, and they bring revenue to the state that they wouldn't have brought otherwise, starting with the permit itself, then the lodging and other items they spend money on during their stay. If you have a problem competing with the legal hunters from out-of-state, then be a better hunter.
My comment was made mostly in jest, but if you took it personally then it sounds like you have a personal problem. Hope you get it sorted have a nice day.
Nah, I think you wanted to show off yer "good ol' boy" britches. I reckon I wouldn't have to travel far into your post history to find you blaming all your problems on "liberals from Chicago," would I?
"SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, BORN AND RAISED, PRAISE JESUS, PRAISE SMITH AND WESSON, AND THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY," right? Isn't that about right?
Oh sweetie, you go ahead and browse my history all you want, and when you see what a doofus you've been to say such things about me please make sure you come on back and tell everyone about it.

Out-of-staters hands off our record-setting deer, go on GIT!
Fuck poachers. In-state, out-of-state, it doesn't matter. Fuck'em.
People who do this have a sense of entitlement that the rules don't apply to them, or that they will never get caught.
Heartily agreed on all points.

They ain't your deer.
