Coleman Houston's Record deer from Ebay

I cant believe how far people will go for fame, I know a guy (actually we now a guy) who supposedly finds new state records every year but never kills them and as far as know never even hunts them......I wounder if they are related.

What a complete and utter DB! I saw some earlier posts about his douche-bagginess and cannot believe how far he went with it. I can't even bring myself to call him a hunter. Well, a hunter for bargains on ebay, but not a true hunter. It's amazing the caliber of people we have to hear about.

Maybe I should post my world record back-to-back Jackalope's. :)

This guy is definitely not a hunter at least not in my book...it kind of reminds me of some of these so called professionals hunters we watch on tv some are great and legit....but some pull the wool over our eyes.....my point being the Bull Elk they shoot are from high fence operations..... but don't beleive they should be entered into record books !

Update on Coleman Doucheton, I mean Coleman Houston's deer fantasy...

DFG News Release
Elk Grove Man Charged with Hunting Violations after Allegedly Falsifying State Hunting Records

An Elk Grove man is facing misdemeanor charges after he allegedly purchased trophy deer antlers on eBay and claimed he had shot the animals himself.

Coleman Lee Houston, 29, allegedly used the online auction site to purchase two very large sets of deer antlers from sellers in Colorado. When questioned by a Department of Fish and Game (DFG) warden, Houston claimed that both sets of antlers came from deer he had killed during a legal deer hunt in California on October 30, 2009. The two record-size deer were shot on the same day, he said, and tagged with lawfully acquired California deer tags.

However, the area where Houston claimed to have killed the deer - near Highway 193 in El Dorado County - is not known for producing deer with antlers spreads exceeding 30 inches. According to Warden Sean Pirtle, “The chances of taking two 30-inch bucks in one day in this area would be exceedingly remote.”

As part of their investigation, wardens reviewed Internet documents, conducted interviews and reviewed DFG license records. Evidence was obtained indicating Houston purchased both sets of antlers on eBay.

Upon further investigation, wardens found that Houston has claimed to have set state buck records at least twice before. According to the California Bowman Association, the official California State Hunting Records credit Houston with taking record bucks with archery equipment in both 2007 and in 2008. Record-holders are required to sign a statement of “fair chase,” stating that the animals were taken lawfully under state wildlife laws. Deer must be taken during the open season and during legal hunting hours, and the hunter must be in possession of a valid hunting license and deer tags.

Investigation continues into the legitimacy of both of these previous records.

Fish and Game laws prohibit the sale or barter of any fish or wildlife or parts thereof. A formal complaint will be filed with the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office, charging Houston with the purchase of wildlife parts; submitting false information on his deer tags; failing to exhibit animals, tags and antlers to a game warden upon demand; and destruction of evidence. A misdemeanor conviction carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to six months in jail.

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just makes you wounder, how many people like Mr.Houston are in the record books in california. Its sad to see that some one takes it that far for a little bit of fame. I guess 07 wasn't good a nuff he had to do it again in 08.

The guy is a pure joke and a #%%#%#%%#%#%#%#%#

i'm glad they caught him.i am amazed at how many people will buy a nice rack and claim they killed it.

I dont know about you guys but if I didnt earn it, I dont want it. Guys like this you could talk to for a couple of minutes before you would know that they belong in a liers club not an archery club. So be it.
