Vandal shoots breeder buck in WI

A vandal shot a breeder buck at a WI deer farm between the night of Nov 21st and the morning of Nov 22nd 2012.



The owner has posted a $5000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible.

The sheriffs department is being helpful and taking this seriously. A media effort to make everyone aware of the crime is going to take place. Mention of the reward will be a part of this media effort.



I have put a call into Whitetails Of Wisconsin to ask for their consideration in joining with additional money to be added to the reward for information resulting in an arrest.

Also I have been in contact with the director of NADEFA asking for the same support.



Our industry should take a unified stance against this kind of action and purse the conviction of this criminal/criminals.

If anyone else would like to officially join by posting a reward for the arrest of this criminal please let me know. This includes any other state organizations who might like to help stand up against these acts of destruction of private property.

Thank you for your time.

Yes Gary the owner knows obtaining restitution is rather unlikely and in fact catching the criminal is a long shot as well. However a crime was committed and justice needs to be pursued.

As an industry it is important cases like these are followed up on. It is important that the public learns these animals are in fact private property. (Livestock) To do nothing weakens our position as being a legit business, and will lead to more cases of this type.

That would be a great idea Scott except all he did was shoot the buck and leave. He did not go inside the pens to get him. The owner found him in the middle of the pen yesterday morning.
