No license won't stop this guy from hunting, only a box with bars around it will do that.

I think part of the problem is that there is way too much emphasis put on trophy antlers and the money that goes along with them. Competition and greed is ruining a fine tradition. We are seeing more and more lands closed to hunters or you have to pay a huge sum to lease land to hunt. Game does not belong to anyone until they harvest it. Everyone who chooses to hunt should have an opportunity to enjoy the sport. Some of my personal best trophies didn't even have antlers. They were deer wounded by others who did not take the time to track them. I did and filled my freezer for the winter. To me that is a real trophy!

Sounds like he's been hunting and fishing illegally for a long long time, and has been caught just a few times. Some people are willing to do things like that. Loose morals and a lack of judgment is a bad combination.

It's too bad an honest hunter couldn't have taken this dear and the thrill and recognition that went with it. What a shame.
