U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday told graduates of the northern Indiana Catholic boarding school he graduated from 40 years ago that persistence is the most essential quality to success and is the only trait each personLYNN, Ind. – An Indiana hunter faces misdemeanor charges after authorities say he illegally shot “the deer of a lifetime.”
Indiana conservation officer Jake Carlile said 21-year-old Austin Spain killed a 16-point trophy buck the weekend of Nov. 17 in Randolph County. The size of the buck made it eligible for a national record book.
But Carlile said Spain violated Indiana law by taking more than one buck in a year.
The buck is believed to score in the 180-inch range under methods used by hunter-conservationist group Boone and Crockett. Spokesman Keith Balfourd told The Star-Press (http://tspne.ws/RC0yuT) that a buck must measure 160 inches to qualify for the book and that few hunters ever take a deer that qualifies.
Illegally killed deer aren’t eligible.
No phone listing for Spain could be found.
