Lost all respect for game wardens after dealing with sw Pennsylvania game comission. Dirtiest most crooked cops I ever imagined. Can't beleive no one done anything about it yet.
I wonder if all the wildlife belongs to the state then how come the state is not responsible for damage and death to living human beings from collisions with wildlife If a farmer has livestock that gets loose on Highways have to assume responsibility for all damages
Because that would make them liable. So if u kill a deer without a tag it theirs.. but if it goes through your windshield..ITS YOURS.. the insurance companys and the states are so damn corrupt.. never trust a game warden
Lmfao!. Poaching didn't become a term until the 1980s. When people started caring about scores of deer and racks and hunting become a industry to profit billions. People use to kill to eat. Now they kill for prestige.
I agree they do have to protect the resources but putting planes in the air at night and blanketing the area with wardens cuz a deer hasn't shown up on camera and is considered missing! Come on!!!!!
There is good and bad from these tip lines. The WVDNR ruined a guys life for over 2 years from a tips from jealous hunters hunting in a bow only county on a private lease he killed a big buck legally checked it in legally then same year killed another buck in his home state of NC and checked it in legally game wardens without any warrants went to NC questioned man wanted to see deer he said at taxidermist they went and confiscated both deer and took them back to Wv were they published photo shoots posing with deer and after 2 years of falsely accusing this man and postponing hearings and trials the dropped all charges due to no evidence and have hunter back his trophies and both capes were ruined and no apologies wright now there is pending litigation against Wardens
Excellent Job !!! So did the Ohio D.N.R get paid the $23,572.05 fine , yet ? What are the requirements for payment ? or is this just gonna be another one of those cases , where the fines, are drawn out, for so long, and never fully get paid ?
We have a Big Boy in the making someplace close to my family residence. How do i protect him from the poachers? How do i contact my local Game Warden so they can keep an eye out?
Be careful. It’s sad to say, but there are game wardens who will snatch that deer from under you. They are few, and not the general norm, but it will occasionally happen. Only share it with people you trust. Thats the bottom line. Take pictures. Lots of them.
Man, that is great they found out what happened to that beautiful deer. I’m glad you also got the man, who like everyone said that this guy should be or should have went to jail. I myself go through same thing in my area in Pennsylvania with a person who moved in years ago and acted liked and what thought was a good person and sportsman (wrong). Still at it with him to this day. I don’t put a lot of time to it and I should have been more patient yrs ago when he let stuff slip out. And know can’t prove this guy. But just listening to you telling this story is a blessing to know at least one person was caught. And like you said, it’s like being robbed,!! Not just for myself but it could have been for an older person who’s never gotten a buck of their lifetime or a child’s first deer ever. My gratitude for you and your work on getting this guy.!!!!! Hopefully some of these poachers are listening and will stop what they are doing.!! 👍✌️
Deserving?!? why would they be more Deserving than anyone else? If it is shot on your land or any property you had permission on and taken legally then there shouldn't be a problem. JEALOUSY is rampant in the deer hunting community. CMON ...🙄
To me everything comes down to Sportsmanship…. Also like my Grandfather taught me, these licenses are not killing license, their hunting license. Hey just my opinion.!! Good luck 👍 ✌️
Wasn’t this deer killed all the way up around mineral springs in Adams county? I remember the case as I hunted Adams county and we stayed over there in the cabins they have for rent. I think we seen this deer from the road as we drive back to the cabins on evening after I had killed a really nice 8 pointer up there several miles away. I know Jonathan Smucker, the killer of the lucky Amish buck in 2006 opening day. I won’t mention what farms we hunted in Adams county and highland county and over around coolville Ohio. I love it up there.
Dang that sucks for those two guys that was hunting that GIANT!!!! What a selfish sorry pos hunter you are Mr Clay. I’m glad you won’t ever be able to hunt legally again and I wish it would’ve cost you a lot more than it did. I can’t imagine how those two guys felt knowing that their buck of a lifetime was poached and some jackal was parading it around acting like it was the new Ky state record. But they may or may not have gotten him but at least they would’ve had a honest legal chance to try!!! Same situation happened with the CJ Alexander buck. Heartbreaking situation for the legal hunters that were pursuing those giants
I get it that they showed you. But it's getting out of hand. I mean you can't shoot a giant these days without being labled as a poacher if you take it legally and you don't show proof. That's b.s. if i take a giant like that and do it legal i don't give a shit who sais otherwise. And i feel i should not and will not tell where i killed it. And if somebody tried to take it away id get a lawer immediately. And then sue whoever put these Aquisations. Deer travel. Ive got trail cam pictures of over 3 Miles of where of where I've seen them to begin with. So if somebody sees it miles away and you take it at your spot, it's not unlogical
i hunted the deer all year just to find some jackass poached it. Seen him one morning in august on way to work right next to road bought shit at how big it was..I used to live right by mineral springs.
Gota be just longer then 1inch to count as a point. My rule of thumb. Anything right at an inch or shorter will be contested always. So that's how I do it
The B&C and P&Y measuring rules don't require a protrusion to be longer than an inch to qualify as a measurable point. In this instance, 15/16" would not be rounded up to 1". In other instances, measurements are rounded up or down, depending on the measurement.
@danjanes8689 like I said I personally only count it if it's over an inch. For some reason anything right at an inch is always debated. I agree w this practice though it makes it real clear. Over an inch or it don't count
❤I think that you guys are jealous of the man that took the deer 🦌 its not poached its called putting yourself in the right place at the right time to get that buck others know about him want him and get mad when he gets wacked give the man back his damm 🦌 deer
Yeah saying that this guys the most deserve ing of this deer n then sombody kills it on another farm and they are not deserve and auto poachers you pigs have false pride n self pity im glad bragger brad didn't get him either way because he didn't deserve it crybabies

What a great story of a beautiful buck with hunters and wardens working together to catch a poacher. Great job and video.
Biggest deer case in the state history! Until all the evidence from the CJ case drops. 😂
Yeah, ole CJ is in a world of crap right about now!!
It's out now!
@@jeffrey4869not really bud but you tell yourself that

Ohio and Poaching go together like Cream and Cheese.
I remember working this show with fellow hocking college students. Best time of my life for sure. Great job gilkey.
I went to Hocking too, back in 97 and 99.
Lmfao!. Poaching didn't become a term until the 1980s. When people started caring about scores of deer and racks and hunting become a industry to profit billions. People use to kill to eat. Now they kill for prestige.
It was done to feed your families
Exactly...it all about money now
The term poaching has been around far longer than the 80s, people have cared about being stolen from long before they cared about antlers.
What I think is funny they put all these resources in to a deer but this country has so much bad stuff going on. It is ridiculous
You still have to protect your natural resources and this guy was a prolific poacher.
That's ohio for ya
I agree they do have to protect the resources but putting planes in the air at night and blanketing the area with wardens cuz a deer hasn't shown up on camera and is considered missing! Come on!!!!!

Ruined a guys life for 2 years just trying to get some recognition. Ridiculous. Sounds like those officers were attention seeking a-holes.
Chris gilkey is a great person, and a passionate game warden, a real topshelf human being

Damn shame. Thats one beautiful buck.
The fish police!
I’ve been out hunting with a bow and hear a single gun shot….no more pics of deer.
Dude could've got away with it if he kept his mouth shut, good work by the warden tho
They never do though. Those idiots can never keep their mouths shut.

Good for ya'll from Ga
Deserving?!? why would they be more Deserving than anyone else? If it is shot on your land or any property you had permission on and taken legally then there shouldn't be a problem. JEALOUSY is rampant in the deer hunting community. CMON ...🙄

Because they put in the work
Alot of the deer in the registry in Florida are high fence bucks
Original from NY, and thats always wht my gramp would say about counting points 😂
I never heard of hunters getting a game warden to watch over an area because a big buck was in it.
Whats the defintion of a poacher
Allegedly a poacher is everyone else shooting that buck except if you’re the person that shot it accordingly to the comment section. 😂
Good Ol’Chris Gilkey. He had his hands full in his time.
Did you hear anything about a deer in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania being poached.
Remember this well. I actually know the guy who poached this deer. It's a shame this Deer was poached.
Wasn’t this deer killed all the way up around mineral springs in Adams county? I remember the case as I hunted Adams county and we stayed over there in the cabins they have for rent. I think we seen this deer from the road as we drive back to the cabins on evening after I had killed a really nice 8 pointer up there several miles away.

So he trespassed out of season ?

Kudos to all the conservation officers out there! I try to help anytime I see a violator!! Help the game wardens folks! They r here for a good reason
Did he call it a 6x6? The picture of the deer clearly has 7 points on one beam. What gives?
I get it that they showed you. But it's getting out of hand. I mean you can't shoot a giant these days without being labled as a poacher if you take it legally and you don't show proof. That's b.s. if i take a giant like that and do it legal i don't give a shit who sais otherwise. And i feel i should not and will not tell where i killed it.

Yep
Sounds like a lil envy .🤷🏼♂️ great work by the DNR .💪🏽
i hunted the deer all year just to find some jackass poached it. Seen him one morning in august on way to work right next to road bought shit at how big it was..I used to live right by mineral springs.
Back in the 80s and 90s It was tail gates down...espially in the south
I bet he didn't even shoot it with a bow
😂No hunting license rights 😂 no man has that right and aint no deer worth 23 grand just organized crime at its finest
