I believe this was the buck poached in Cannon falls, MN. The "hunter" has 13 violations being charged against him. he apparently shot a buck a week before and failed to register it, then shot this one. here in MN we are only allowed one buck per year.
According to a article the hunter had taken a doe, a buck and this big buck. He failed to register or tag the 2 deer, but according to MN. game law by not tagging the first deer (the doe) ANY deer taken after that are also considered illegal....kinda screwy but it shows it helps to understand your local game laws.
