197" Deer Poached in Jasper County

[Rutherford]

Rumor has it a 197" Deer was poached by shotgun in Jasper County on thanksgiving by spotlight. Would have been the state bow record from what I've been told.

Anybody else hear anything about this?

What part of Jasper?

 

[Rutherford]

Not Sure, If I were to guess it would be by one of the county or state parks like Rock Creek.

Still makes me sick thinking that some Bowhunter could have had the Iowa Record.

I dont know if any of you are members of the Hawkeye lounge forum but they have pictures on there if someone could post them so we could see this deer that would be great. the website wouldnt let me see them.

Big deer. No state record

Took the words outta my mouth. My thoughts exactly.

Looks like 14 Scorable Points and he has really good mass and a really good spread - (Barely fits his hands around him. I used to be a certified scorer and I would estimate the deer between 185" and 195" just by picture so I will have to be inclined to disagree and say it could have possibly been the state record bow buck.

Anybody know the fine for poaching a deer that size isn't it more if its over a certain size I think it's ridiculously high?

Poachers are schmucks, plain and simple. But honestly, this stuff doesn't surprise or piss me off anymore because it happens every year. Big bucks are poached every year and each year dumb asses get caught. Have fun paying those fines and losing your hunting rights!

It looks like there is another rack hidden on the guys right hand side.

gotta love the classy truck bed picture too... but hey i guess when you spotlight em its tough to get good in the field pics..what a bunch of dirt balls.
It baffles me as to how that is even fun? to me what makes it worth doing is the time, effort and the challenge of the hunt.. just another self proclaimed redneck and proud zero who gives hunters a bad name even though he is poaching scum

Didn't it used to say "$1000/inch over 200" or something like that?

Either way, the statutes do no good if the courts don't follow them. What did it cost the kid that shot the 220"+ deer in SW Iowa awhile back? A good lawyer and a jury of your "peers", (farmers), goes a long way.

That buck is not even close for typical with his deductions and nowhere close to the 270+ to be the non-typical state record. Huge deer and big dumb ass poacher though.
