A Topeka man has been charged with poaching a 14-point whitetail buck that could have broken a state record that has stood for more than 35 years, authorities said. David V. Kent was charged Feb. 1 in Osage County with eight counts related the Nov. 11 shooting of the deer, said Mike Miller, spokesman for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. The charges include hunting with an artificial light, hunting during a closed season, illegal hunting from a vehicle and use of an illegal caliber for deer hunting. The Wichita Eagle reported that the deer was unofficially scored at 198 7/8 inches of antler on the Boone & Crockett system. This is the third Kansas buck with antlers that could qualify as a state record that isn’t officially recognized.
The thing about poachers here in Virginia you know them on sight. Scooters become their main means of transportation... They take the gun, if the deer was shot from the vehicle the vehicle as well , they are charge for every shot taken besides the tremendous fines levied against them. Don't pay them and you lose your driving privileges. Followed by being arrested if the fines aren't paid. Poaching isn't worth it.
