Like I said before, nothing new. Trox, I wasn't covering up battle wounds, but I believe if we had met before yesterday, there may have been some. He was pretty irate about not only this site, but others, and friends accusing him of night hunting. Today went well though. We got cut short by his instructor of the class he was in, and I was short for time also, so don't think he was just getting out of it.
Tyler seems like a decent guy. I gained some respect for him today, just by offering to tell me his side face to face. His story goes like this: He shot the deer on a Tuesday morning, whatever the date was, but didn't recover the deer until that afternoon. He said by 6pm he was showing him off and taking pics. He offered to show me the pics, but is skeptical about sending them to me, due to the location possibly being on there. That's about all we had time for today, other than him saying there were a few of his "buddies" that were lying out of jealousy. I guess I can believe that somewhat. I let him know that I was still skeptical about it for several reasons but didn't have time to go into all of them today. I also haven't asked him where the deer was hit at, but I'm pretty sure that was a hole in the throat patch in one of the pics. So, the reasons I'm skeptical about this still is this:

1. It's hard for me to believe people can be that jealous about a deer.
2. The pics don't seem to be taken where he was hunting, so why not send them to me??
3. The deer being shot in the throat and not finding it until that evening.
4. Also, was the deer still alive when he got to it, then he shot it in the throat?? Had to be alive for a while for him to be able to turn that head around like that in the after dark pics.
5. The sweat off "a drink" being between his legs still raises some suspicion. It's hard for me to say something about that though. If I shot and found that deer I probably would have had a celebration beer on the way back to camp also.

Well, its pretty obvious this is going nowhere, so I'm just gonna let it go until something else comes out, if it ever does. There are A LOT of folks on the lookout for not just Tyler, but anyone shooting/hunting on WE property. I know it goes on, and so does everyone else that works there, but notta can be done until someone is caught.

And Burbank, I was convinced by the pic of him on the couch this guy was like 5'2", but he's not. He's an average height guy. Maybe 5'9" or 10. Sure fooled me. I thought he was a little midget myself, and accused him of lil man syndrome at one point, but hell, I ain't to much bigger than he is.
