[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3252033, member: 26737"] Years ago, an old fella told me about an incident when he had leased out some land to a guy to run cattle. During deer season, he was on part of the land that he hadn't leased out, and he shot a deer. As deer will do, it bolted, so he trailed it over to the land that was leased. There he found his deer, with the tenant and several of the guy's buddies standing over it. He told them he'd shot a deer, and had followed its blood trail here. The tenant said he'd shot the deer, and several of his buddies kind of moved their guns none too subtly, despite there having been no other gunshots and the deer having a .44 caliber hole in it, while none of them were carrying anything bigger than a .308. Discretion being the better part of valor, he left. But he didn't drop it. Some time later, he went back, rounded up the guy's high-dollar cattle, loaded them into the guy's trailer, and hauled them down to a distant stockyards. (I forget where, but it was a fair piece away; seems like the land was in northeast OK, but the stockyard was somewhere like Ada.) As was often the case back in the day, the guy had his SSN scratched into the frame of the trailer, so when he checked in the cattle, he gave the guy's name and SSN--and, being the guy's landlord, he also had the guy's bank's name to tell them where to send the check. He then dropped the trailer in the parking lot and went home. Oh, those high-dollar cattle? I forget the term he used for it, but he basically checked them in to be sold for dog food. So, yeah, that turned out to be one expensive dang deer... [/QUOTE]
