270" escapee shot in Texas

[Fightinaggies]

I think the better question is who wouldn't have shot it? Thats a stud

[BlackHogDown]

Good for this dude!

The talk around town where i hunt is the monster that's escaped from the HF place down the road from our ranch. Every hunt, I daydreamed of that dude walking out. I knew I'd shoot in an instant but was curious what the GS would say. Glad we're all in agreement!

Tattoo in the ear

Tattoo in the ear and a hole from a probable ear tag.

You guys saying you would not shoot that deer on your low fence ranch are crazy/lying. Aint no deer like that walking in front of me without getting a bullet.

SO how does ownership go on escaped game animals? I know exotics if tagged belong to the owner, but do whitetail?

Dirt nap

I am kind of curious where this was at for some reason. My gut from the video tells me northwest Texas, maybe Abilene up to the lower panhandle somewhere.

I would have shot him long before could have ever reached the feeder.

I don't know but this one had no visible tag so fair game

[Abcdj]

Fire that weapon Mister!

The real dilemma would have been had it walked out with a yellow tag in it's ear

[DallasCoon12]

Thwack... no question

Would that matter? You can't own game animals in Texas I thought.
