According to Lee, he put the wrong tag on a deer and reported it. The reporting set off a red flag that brought the mistake to light. He had the correct tag in his possession so he apparently was not taking a deer he didn't have a tag for. Appears to be a tagging error.

He would have to be an idiot to poach a deer,I a tagging violation can happen when you have as many tags as he probably gets each year.

Boy I havent had a tag violation or error in over a year myself. Got one for putting utility trailer tags on boat trailer. In fact I screwed up so many I canthink remember them all. Two years ago stopped at border in Quebec and my bear tag pelt was labeled a mountain goat. They don't parlays francois in English too good there. I'm no cool fan anyway since from my experience with them and it's extensive has not been good on either a personal or professiobalcony level. I'm sure is just some technical trivial crap.

He put the wrong tag on a deer and it flagged with the DNR when he called in to register it. No big deal, honest mistake. It was like a $100 fine. Maybe it's my forgiving nature but let's not burn the guy at the stake for a minor mistake that he owned. It could happen to anyone. Lee and Tiffany are two of the nicest people you'll meet. Stuff happens, they are still good people and honest, ethical hunters in my book. Does anyone really think a guy like Lee with so much to lose is going to purposely call in a buck on a doe tag to shoot more bucks?

Easy mistake to make, I once killed a stud coues buck and put my bear tag on it, I called the officer to come and check out my deer , he looked at the tag and said, i think you should put your deer tag on it.
From: kellyharris

It's a freaking easy mistake to put on a wrong tag.
Heck in Ohio it's setup to easily put on a wrong tag because they have all went to regular paper from a printer.
This was done to save the state money!
We us to have a pokey-oke setup several years back that would help prevent it.
So now in Ohio if you do wrong tag and Cal it in you are forced to buy another unless it was your last either sex tag for that zone then your out of luck for the season.
States are responsible for the confusion when they make all tags look alike except one word to save money.

We have so many tags on our licenses you have to have a damn accountant to figure them out. It would be an easy mistake to make. I didn't fill out the back of the buck tag last season. Oops !

The title of this thread and use of the word "Poaching" is about as honestly disgusting as anything I've seen. Poaching involves wanton illegal killing. A tagging issue might be a violation but it sure doesn't rise to the severity of poaching. If anything got poached here it was likely Lee's reputation.

Elite, I can handle a discussion, it's the assertion of the thread title that I find very unfair. And not unlike a National Enquirer headline, your title was meant to grab attention by offering meat when there is only a very thin broth. Sorry man, but I think you went overboard.
I don't know the Lakosky's. I don't even watch their show. So no personal stake.

Unless you directly want to attack someone's livelihood, a more appropriate thread title would have been no thread title at all.
Seriously, how this warrants any discussion at all is beyond me, other than someone who wants to sensationalize something and hurt somebody's reputation, and therefore their ability to produce income.
Our society's tendency to gleefully revel in another persons misfortune sickens me.
From: bad karma

The thread title is horsecrap. I don't know the Lakoskys either, and don't find their show entertaining. it's not for me. That being said, what we know is that Lee Lakosky put the wrong tag on a deer and turned himself in. That points to someone who made an honest mistake. People do make mistakes. And if he tagged the animal after dark, I can see that happening easily.
Let he who has not made a paperwork mistake cast the first stone.
It's not poaching, it's an oops.

What Kevin and others have said x2. The thread title was BS and clueless as to what poaching really is.

I think when the OP posted, the details of what actually went down were not available... just playing Devil's Advocate here.
IMO, as far as the accused is concerned (and I'm not a fan nor a celebrity sycophant), that's not poaching. That's an honest mistake resulting in a citation.
And I don't blame the warden for citing him. He certainly could have let him off with a warning, but that could have been misconstrued as favoritism/preferential treatment so I don't doubt that he had in mind how it'd look if he didn't cite him. The more visible you are, the more you need to have your ducks in a row because you're an example.
From: ohiohunter
09-Feb-17
Enticing headline, good job on reeling everyone in. The details are in the body, makes ya work for a valid position... nothing wrong w/ that.
I agree Idyll, and while at the same time I could see a warning being sufficient. The citation illustrates to others the value we place on our resources and how they are managed, but he did identify his mistake. I watch wardens all the time and while sometimes they do give citations in similar situations they are often lenient with the extent of multiple citations, confiscations and hunting rights.
Whats terrible is when major poaching rings are exposed and slapped on the wrists. Its a slap in everyone's face. Often makes warden's efforts seem silly.
From: Scooby-doo
09-Feb-17
I opened this thread knowing it was some bogus charge. I understand mistakes happen and that is all this was. I do agree about just a warning should of been issued. Honestly very few people maybe 3 or 4 would even of known about the infraction and they could of discussed it and agreed to issue a warning. Scooby

There's a big difference between a paperwork/red tape error and poaching.
I too believe he would never do that intentionally.
In the "old days", I don't think things would have been blown up so much. There's a good chance the Game warden would have analyzed things, checked for previous violations, talked things over with Lee, come to a logical conclusion, and then more than likely simply made the correction.
From: Bake

Ken, I'm not sure the "old days" would have made much difference. It was the "old days" where Roger Rothhaar was ticketed for not immediately tagging a legally killed deer.
From: OFFHNTN

Here's Lee's reply on facebook: I apologize, I made an honest mistake. I inadvertently put the wrong tag on a deer I shot. I went home and registered it like we're supposed to and that's what flagged it. Everyone involved realized it was an honest mistake but we also realize that we have to be treated the same as anyone else and own up to the mistake. I had the valid tag so nothing about the taking of the deer was illegal, just in the tagging of it. Let me assure you that I respect these animals more than anything and purposely taking one illegally in any way shape or form would not interest me in the least. I, as an Iowa resident and landowner, can take 3 bucks a year. In the 14 years that I've lived here I've only used all 3 tags 4-5 times. This year, like most others, the season ended with an unused Iowa tag in my pocket. We also own land in Illinois and Missouri and I didn't shoot a deer in either of those states either. The point is that having deer tags is not (and has never been) an issue and I'd have absolutely no reason to purposely or knowingly take a deer illegally in any manner, I certainly have valid tags for them. Everything we do is on film and put out there for everyone to see, we're certainly not hiding anything. I do realize the position we are in and that we need need to be above things like this and for that I sincerely apologize. So, to all our friends and fans all I can say is that it was an honest mistake, I'm sorry and it won't happen again.

If the tag was attached to the deer then the CO really didn't have have a choice but to issue the least level of ticket possible, then let a judge decide if Lee chose to fight it. If the CO believed it was an intentional attempt to conceal a crime he would have dropped the hammer, confiscated their equipment, vehicles, etc..

I killed an Antelope once, hung it in the barn, caped it and was taking the head to the taxi about 50 miles away. I thought since the meat is hanging in a barn at home and the head and cape will be in the bed of the truck I better take the tag. I got to the taxi and a game warden was there talking to the owner. We talked for a while then I pulled out the head and he saw the tag on it and asked where is the meat ? I told him it is back at the house, he said the tag should be with the meat. I explained the meat is home and I'm out driving around with the head and thought I needed a tag to show....nope . He said I could go confiscated the meat and take the head but I really think it was an honest mistake so no ticket but he did go to my place and look at the antelope/meat........ %$@& happens. Just like Lee, it was a mistake and that mistake wont happen again !!

Elite, your point above, reading as follows, "It was a post on a hunting message board that means very little to very few..." truly shows your true impetuous and lack of intelligence. These (fine) folks and many, many others make their living with their names and reputation that goes along with their name, whether it be a professional hunter, physician, accountant, radio voice, or Joe Plumber. Many, if not most times these people have spent their lifetime working to build up that very same name and is ultimately a great part of their livelihood. In case you aren't aware, today's social media is probably the strongest media source x10 available worldwide with the blink of an eye speed and once on the Internet, it's a permanent record somewhere...

I found out this year that when you are fortunate enough to take an exceptional critter you will have a very small number of cockroaches that will start rumors to try to downgrade it without a shred of fact.

When you take pride in trying to do things right and you get labeled otherwise it cuts damn deep. I'd rather be fooled than falsely accuse a good person.

Elite_RSP, you should walk back every word. It's clear you want to defame another hunter with rumor and innuendo. What if we all write "Perhaps Elite_RSP has sex with livestock? And paid off the ranchers to keep it quiet?" I have as much evidence of that claim as you do of Lee Lakosky paying off a WCO.
Good grief, grow up. You're embarrassing yourself.

Never heard of the guy, but using the wrong tag unknowingly is pretty trivial. Lost a tag off a deer dragging him a mile in the dark and the warden let it go even though I offered to backtrack the next day to find it. A young trainee did make me go back to find my arrow years ago. It was cedar and I brought him back only half of it. He wanted to make sure my name was on it. He didn't last too long up here.

That is the law in NH. It can and has created problems for some. Someone writes your name on an arrow and then shoots someones cat, guess who they come looking for. Do not laugh I know a guy it happened too! Scooby

What a big nothing burger. Very easy to make this clerical error. Being that he had the proper tag l am surprised that Dnr even wrote a summons. A warning and correction should have been sufficient.

Yes we have to have our names and addresses on our arrows. Got checked a week ago when the warden stopped me on a woods road as I was going after snowshoes. He is a rabid beagler too and just wanted to shoot the bull about hare hunting.

I killed the biggest buck of my life in Iowa back in '06. In my excitement, I accidentally put my doe tag on the buck's rack. The warden showed up after we loaded it into the pickup out in the farmer's field. He was friendly, we were all excited. Carrying out his duty, he checked the tag and noticed my error. I was mortified. What a stupid mistake, and now my biggest buck was going to be confiscated. To my relief, the warden simply suggested I peel the tag off and put the correct one on the deer. I did so immediately, he congratulated me on a fine trophy and went on his way. I was very grateful for the grace given to me. It could've ended badly.

No ticket involved, just a look back on changing times. Back in the early 60's this farm kid, who was a couple years short of having a drivers license, took the folk's 48 chevy for a drive. Fortune took him to Muskrat Late, aptly named for it's residents. No need to get out of the car to spot and stalk as there was plenty of targets within range from the road. I don't remember what the score was when the warden drove up behind me, but I know the shooting stopped. Time has erased the bulk of the conversation that ensued, only the "get home right now" remains. Never told the folks, never shot at muskrats at Muskrat Lake again, and never miss the opportunity to reflect on one lucky farm kid when I drive by Muskrat Lake.

You mean I went all the way through this thread and nobody brought it around to another pic of Tiffany? Just shows how few men there are these days.
Lee was going above board recognizing that as a celebrity, simply putting the correct tag on the animal and burning the doe tag (which admit it is what a lot of us would do) wasn't strictly speaking what the law states and he has to hold himself to the highest ethical standards. Good for him. Now, another snap of Tiffany, looking pensive "gee honey, was it worth the grief?"

Point is Tiffany is very overrated. At best, she's a 5. Never was a 6 and never will be. Lee is like a 4, so he married up. You guys need some better standards.

Elite - I fell for your "clickbait" last week and it seemed like something big did happen. But after Lee's statement came out and everything was cleared up you continue to dig yourself into a deeper hole. I'm not sure if you're trying to just troll but I have a feeling your time on Bowsite is almost up.

Aww, Tiffany must'a hurt you bad eh, really crushed your balls.
Was it on a forum? Facebook? Maybe in person at a show, right in front of other people?
Gut shot and left to suffer on your own.
Whatever it was, you got a serious hate you should deal with in a more socially acceptable manner.

IMHO the OP is acting like a total a**hole, as he obviously was hoping that Lee got 20 years to life for using the wrong tag and just that small fine isn't enough! He also lacks any kind of reading comprehension since Lee didn't get "caught" by a GW, but found out his mistake when he called the DNR to register it on the phone and the numbers he gave them didn't match that for a buck tag that he also had and if he had looked closer would have been the tag he used for the buck and called that one in. IMHO he should have received a warning and just been asked to tag the buck correctly and give them the number on the buck tag and to eat the wrong tag that he had used by mistake. For the OP to continue on with conjecture that this was just one of a number of violations that Lee has probably committed and finally got caught is the last straw and if it was my site he'd be gone!
