As I understand it - As the story says he killed two bucks in 2016. The second buck was the whopper non-typical. He took pictures of it in the bean field that had a pretty distinct background. He then froze the head until 2017 and then posted that he killed it and posted pictures taken the year before. As most of us know farmers usually rotate crops and the 2016 beanfield was now a 2017 corn field. Some of the local hunters were familiar with the area and that spot so they knew he did not kill it in 2017, but in 2016. The rest is history...
LOL what an idiot. Didn't think that one through. Had to get online and brag about it; glad he did.
