A Topeka man will serve 15 consecutive weekends in jail for killing a whitetail buck that would have set a state record if it had been hunted legally.
A Topeka man will serve 15 consecutive weekends in jail for killing a whitetail buck that would have set a state record if it had been hunted legally.
David Kent was sentenced Thursday to 30 days in jail, to be served on weekends, and $1,500 in fines. He also was ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to the landowner in Osage County where he shot the deer in November 2011. He also lost his hunting privileges for five years.
Kent claimed he shot the 14-point buck in Nemaha County while legally hunting during the firearm deer season. He was arrested after wildlife agents compared the deer's antlers to a photo that showed the buck was alive in the fall in Osage County.

T-bone you finally got out of jail for stealing those TV's at Walmart. Your dad just got arrested for stealing beef from Sam's and some corn pads from Walmart. What a low life family.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. The only language enforcer understands. Glad to see the tide is building against hate and stupidity in our community. Keep up the good work WHoCares, t-bone, and all the other morally focused folks on this blog.
