Nightmare the deer at Eagle Creek poached

Maybe he foolishly thought the youth season was his "cover." If so, he wasn't the only one:

A CO is holding it..

My mistake. I didn't see an incident date posted anywhere.

 

[tyrajam]

wonder why they don't just open it up to public archery hunts a few times a year then, like they do at Fort Ben.

They took public input on that a few weeks ago, hopefully next year they will add it to the park hunt draw. When they do...hoo boy, there are MONSTERS in there, and they are almost tame. Anybody know how that meeting went? Willie, you have the inside scoop on most of this stuff, any idea?

I live close to Eagle Creek, and think I heard the shot (heard something that sounded like a shot, but figured at that hour maybe I was just hearing things, wasn't too awake at the time either).

Either way, what a raging a-hole. I'm betting/hoping this guy isn't going to get much peace and quiet anymore with his name on the news...

No Idea on the meeting... If they do have a hunt it will probably be bow only and maybe even EAB..

Well not quite a CO.

Nice deer, no doubt his offspring are around. Now if some jerks can refrain from poaching those.............

Things like this make me sick. People like that need to be sterilized to prevent any further corruption to the human bloodline. Its unbelievable how selfish some people can be.

Eagle Creek Park is not a State Park run by DNR.
It is not owned, managed or affiliated with the state. The DNR doesn't control the reduction hunts there, it's owned by the city.
It used to be called Eagle Creek State Park, which caused the DNR a lot of headache.

so the park could allow hunting if they wanted to then. In the urban zone too...

Since there is no deer hunting at eagle creek, I think pirate is referring to the deer culls that the state does. I know a lot of big bucks have legally been culled-that is, shot at night with a high powered rifle and left to rot, at big oaks and muscatatuck, and probably eagle creek as well.

And just how do you "know" this is happening? I would be curious to know why they are not giving the meat to food banks like they usually do.

What's the difference? It's wanton waste either way far as I'm concerned. People shooting deer who don't even want them.

That's either a big a$$ deer or the gentleman behind it hadn't been eating his Wheaties.

 

[HICKMAN]

I'd say they are both big boys

The issue with having a hunt at Eagle Creek is that it was gifted to the City to be a nature preserve in perpetuity. Having a any type of hunt theoretically violates the terms of the gift. That has been the issue in the past.

I'm sure they are, my attempt at being humorous. Just that the deer looks so frickin huge to me.

Wow! I'd like some sort of proof on that, if you dont mind...

300 pound monster...

I'd fall out of the tree if something like that ever crossed my path
