Check out this dude.

Apparently was shot in Sam Houston NF.

Story is it was chasing a WT doe. Old HS buddy shot it at 15-20 yards.

No idea if it has an ear tag.

Very nice stag! Cool crowns.

Need to know more on the story. It sounds… abnormal.

He was done for the morning walking back to his truck, got sniffed out by a doe he didn't see at first, she blew and trotted off, he stayed still and this guy walked down the same trail within a minute or two.

He let an arrow fly and that was that. He was half way back to his truck, he said about 1/2 mile.

That's all I know.

Doubt it was chasing a doe, but who knows… someone is missing their stag

Looks like East Texas foliage. Surprised that old boy made it this long and wasn't already BBQed on a Weber out behind a doublewide..

That is what has me baffled! There are let's face it hundreds of people who would have zero problem putting a rimfire cartridge through that things skull and it walked around long enough to get arrowed in daylight.

It easily could have escaped its high fence very recently… even that day.

Pretty much everything in life relies on luck and timing. Your friend had both.

Seems like a very available nut shot. But your buddy took the easy way out.

Someone posted in Sam Houston Facebook page that stags have been sighted recently besides the one killed and that it was illegal to kill them in Sam. I wouldn't think it would be illegal as it is an exotic animal...seems fair game unless it had a tag in ear

He actually posted that he shot a monster but needed to check something before posting additional info.

I assume, he arrowed it thinking it's an exotic and NBD, but then he called GW and confirmed not an issue. It's very public now where he killed it, so I'll know sooner or later if the GW come calling.

I don't see why it would be illegal to harvest an exotic on public land.

That is awesome! Red stag that are wild can be very illusive in Texas. We had one on our place for 8 years and never saw her unless it was night, and that was maybe a couple times. Pictures only. Finally shot her when her teeth were so worn down that she started to hit feeders more often still would not stay out past cracking light in the morning.

I had 3 Does (Hinds) coming to my feeder in Brazos County, right on the river, 10+years ago. Property was several places down from a high fenced place that had Elk and Red Stag.....then there was a flood.

I killed one of them for meat.

Lots of smoke on facebook that guy got a citation. Kiel Peterson claims he killed stag and got issued citation on the same Facebook Sam Houston Public hunting thread.

No idea if true or something made up and spread to keep people from killing red deer so they can have less hunting competition. Kinda asking if you have an update

If he's posting as himself, I'll ask him. I went to high school with him.

Correct. Your not allowed to take any game not specifically listed as legal game for the season.

Since exotics aren't listed that's why you can't take them from public land.

Seems a negative loophole which should be fixed in favor of hunters.

Yep that was reason given. In the rule book it states only legal game allowed. Them under Sam Houston rule page it states what that legal game is and quantity allowed. Exotics aren't mentioned as legal game so by default illegal

I would have made same mistake as your friend but wanted this known to share with other aggie hunters that read this thread that it was illegal and he was given a class A citation whatever that means

That's my thought. If no social media, then no proof he shot it on the NF, and instead got it at xyz's property.

Didn't he call the GW? Maybe I am misremembering but I thought you said you were waiting to post details until buddy talked to gw? Then he supposedly talked to gw and no problem but now gw issued citation?

What happened?

No killing the kings animals without express written permission.

How else will they ever be able to sell those SHNF red stag draw permits?

What a load of crap! This state completely sucks for public hunters!

He literally said, "shot a monster but have to check something first". No pics nothing then 2 hours later posted the pictures.

I assumed he had contacted a gw and asked…
