There was a giant 200 inch deer killed in guntersville opening week. The deer supposedly escaped a high fence and a guys daughter shot it. Now the high fence owners have posted.

Should've bought insurance.

Awww. He lost his breeder buck from his little play pen. I'm soo sorry.
Next time maybe don't build a fence, just hunt the deer God gives you, like the rest of us.

I don't feel sorry for the guy. If you ain't smart enough to keep a deer inside a cage, then don't try to keep deer inside a cage.

Doesn't matter if you agree with pen raised deer or not. If the buck was taken from the pen like the owner claims, then that is a major problem, and the man who took it should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Evidently his neighbor may be piddling. Maybe the neighbor helped the deer get out. You would think a breeder would be where he could be seen daily. Either way the neighbor knew whose deer it was and where it came from so I understand why the owner is mad especially if neighbor is piddling as it says in the post. Also understand why the guy let his daughter shoot it.

I know the guy that owns the pen. I've known him most of my life. He's a good guy. It's a fairly large farm that's fenced. He bought it to take customers of his business hunting.

Story I got was that the fence was cut, then wired back together. If that's true, that's stealing, plain and simple. I hope the truth comes out.

Well I don't guess we know the truth either way.

If it was killed off of his land, or someone cut a lock to open the gate, it should be dealt with accordingly.

If the deer escaped from a poor excuse of a high fence and got shot, it's just tough luck, I guess.

He said in his post that the gate "may have been pryed" no damage to fence.

He also said he paid 9 grand for the buck,,ouch

"

I agree that if it got out, then tough luck. But from all the stories I've heard, that's not the case. Hopefully the truth will come out.

My neighbors cows get out. But I don't shoot them. Yet.

Strap 200 inches of bone to the top of their head and I promise it wont take long.

That's a chit load of steaks. You may want to rethink your position on it.

I am sure they were watching. Through the fence.

As poor as his English is, the dumbarse probably forgot to lock the gate

Discussion now in Serious Deer Forum about high fence. Are these deer private property or state owned?? How should they be regulated? If private property, then theft of property. If state owned, then hunting without permission.

not all the time. I know of a fella that killed a tame fenced buck and got life in prison for Felony Theft.

Now wait. As I've stated in the other thread about high fences operations, I know nothing about them. I have read though how these deer are just as wild and sneaky as free range deer. How then did a fellow orchestrate such a crime as to cut a fence, find the sneaky deer, convince him to come outside the fence, wire the fence back together and then shoot the deer?

He got life because it was his "3rd strike.". They just need to decide what these deer are, private or state. Private = not wildlife. State owned = should be free to roam and hunted by all. I don't care and won't affect me. But make a decission.
