If someone's thinks there's another one like that roaming I'll put your mind at ease now. No there's not.... You are absolutely correct! There isn't a buck in the area the could stretch to 120. Bet…

Come on now, he is right, just let it go. Biggest deer ever killed in the state was from land north of Indy. Fact!

The funny part is people try to keep away from a simple survey for fear of people moving in. If someone is moving in its from word of mouth not taking a dnr survey...

I would guess that being on the front of a magazine cover would be more of a problem than a dnr survey. Maybe should have not done that one? Would one suggest no magazine interviews along with no surveys as well? You can't advertise to the world and then blame the dnr for the bad fame.

Outdoor events, speaking engagements and magazines and Tv. Kinda hard to hide when you’re taking advantage of publicity and putting yourself out there for everyone to see. Money 💰 is a driving factor. Took less than a day to know where, when and how after he shot deer.

Look at me. Look at me. Wait a min. Don't look at me. DONT LOOK AT ME!!! There was some boosting the deer was killed in their area then it turned to "Don't look here" Funny how things come full circle!

The price of fame is very very expensive. Especially internet fame...

I've filled out all 6 of my after hunt surveys. I think they should be managing the deer the same as waterfowl. What works down south in the vast open counties is not nearly the same as what work up here in the noRt west corner. These surveys will help with that. Break it down to zones. Kinda like the reduction zones. Hunter density areas should be a factor in the amount of buck tags issued. Try that one on.

OK. So we have it laid out there. If you kill a whopper, then don't do the survey so no one knows. But do do tons of interviews and tell the rest of the hunting world.
But for all of us regular killers. How many of you gents do actually fill these out. How many people do try and age their deer the way the video shows. How many actually inspect all the hooves. Seems pretty extensive but hopefully it's doing something to help. Atleast with the info they do get.

I fill it out and at least try to do all of it for each deer.

I did the exact same thing last year and though it said it would only show the pin in a 4 mile radius and I'm pretty sure it got closer than that. I hunt public exclusively and if someone asks if I'd seen anything the answer is NO even if I did or didn't. I put forth the effort to locate and keep tabs on the deer I find and see and I'm NOT going to do someone else's homework for them. Before you know it, you've got every jack wagon from that county trying to take your efforts away

Is it public info now?

I believe it covers public and private grounds. If it's on the map and you pin it then in my mind that place has been deemed a " target" for trespassers and trouble.

You drop a pin on the spot, public or private land. But that pin is not visible for the public to see. Anybody is welcome to see where my pins are dropped. All you have to do is ask. I'm not skeered...but I didn't kill a mag deer either...
