Former WWE and UFC “champ” Brock Lesnar and his hunting guide apparently shot a couple of deer buck in November in Alberta, Canada and only took the head, leaving behind the rotting carcass. This is not only against the law but also violates some lame code about hunters really only supposed to be killing deer for the meat. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Lesnar is facing three charges including “leaving meat to rot, improper tagging, and illegal possession of wildlife.” Either Lesnar failed to secure his fish and wildlife tags to the deer or he never got any authorization to hunt to begin with. Either way, it’s poaching.
Hunting’s not cool when you’re hiding in some brush, wearing head to toe cammo, using a scope and a high-powered rifle, shooting at unsuspecting animals from a hundred feet away. A video game is one thing but this is just ridiculous.
In late 2010, Lesnar was injured in his biceps by a deer’s horns. In a hunting video, he is quoted as saying about himself during a deer killing experience: “Baddest man on the planet. With the horns and about 150 pounds of meat on my back for about 500 feet, living the dream — this is what I live for.” Ugh.
Lesnar and his guide have a court date set for Jan. 19. Not sure how this will affect his fight with Alistair Overeem on December 30 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But I know who I won’t be rooting for…
Here’s a video of Brock Lesnar shooting prairie dogs…
Now this would be a fair fight!

Hunters are useless wannabes and Republicans. I hope Lesnar goes to jail for this.

ccfmds – i dont know how you got to your conclusion…..
anyways, poaching is wrong, doesnt matter who did it, if this guy did poach then he will be brought to justice. Im sure he will be and he deserves what he gets, and thats about all ill say since this is a bias article.
