Congrats on a great deer

Michael, maybe my post was misunderstood. There was a question asked on why the Christian issue kept being brought up. I was stating in the earlier threads, there were a lot of people saying he was a Christian man and would never break the law. That is what was posted. I don't know the man, but from the support of his friends, he sounds like a good person. Like I said in an earlier post, he made either a questionable or bad decision and he is having to deal with it.

I have always wished him the best and hope he gets to keep his deer.

I saw it as well...here and FB.

"I know so and so...he's a Christian...he'd never do that."

There are two sides of the Christian support.....one junkman has listed and the one Michael has brought to the forefront..

I don't think many, if any, have said he would "never break the law" (because he was a Christian.) I believe most, including me, have indicated that they would trust "his version" of the story. I honestly suspect the reason that there is any potential case against Travis is purely because he was completely honest about the particulars, even if his honesty ultimately implicates him.

I have read most of these and I too have seen in posts where it was said because he was a good christian this couldn't have happened. It was in many post as a matter of fact.

Not trying to jump on here just trying to set the record straight and be clear. It was said and insinuated many times.

The fact that nothing is being said leads people to speculate human nature, that doesn't mean they have to tell all just because we are curious it just means those that know him can't expect people to fill in the blanks until we do hear the full story.

I think part of the issue is a lot of folks don't believe the second shot was to humanely dispatch a deer.

And only the hunter knows for sure, but if he crossed 8 property lines and shot it on the run, the facts point in that direction. I know I would have not given up easily on a buck of that nature, and I would have probably squeezed one off after dark if I could have taken him down. The sad truth is his honesty might be his downfall.

Woooo hoooo. 151. Low fence, small acreage. Taken legally by an agnostic that loves satanic heavy metal and movies.

LOL.

I am kinda friends with Travis and am hoping for the best.

Gayass fake ones.

I have followed along and bit my tongue. I wonder how many state records have been taken by people smart enough to keep their mouth shut?? I feel really bad for this guy. I know that a HUGE number of us have dispatched deer to end a hunt in a humane manner after legal shooting hours. By the rules my dad is a poacher, as I saw him cut the throat on a deer that I spine shot when I was 8 years old. He waited for it to die and finally decided to end its suffering, well after legal shooting hours and not by legal means. Bologna! I agree completely if this was a cull or unremarkable deer nobody would have questioned it.

I also am amazed to see how brethren of the bow are so quick to turn on each other and spew incorrect or unconfirmed information...just don't get it. The facts will speak. There are simply too many variables to judge a man and his character without knowing the details and knowing the facts. Focker out!

There is still time to make things right with the Lord and turn your dad in if he is still with us. It's up to the GW whether they prosecute or not. It's the Law of the land. If my dad robbed a bank when I was a kid I'd have a hard time not letting a LEO know about it.

Yah...he looks absolutely crushed/devastated in the ldp's....but hey that was after his prayer request wasn't it?
