Hunter Ends Up Bagging Dope Instead of Deer

10/18/03

A Knox County hunter scouting for deer found much more than he bargained for.

The man, who police did not identify, stumbled upon several marijuana plants while following a deer trail in a wooded area near Wolf Hill Road in northern Knox County. The hunter then left the area and called Indiana State Police. During the search, ISP officers found nearly 600 marijuana plants. The plants were then destroyed in a controlled burn.

Police estimate the street value of the find at around $600,000. No arrests have been made. The investigation is continuing.

Does that qualify as a food plot, no I guess that would be a twinkie patch.

I wonder if the guys standing around watching the controlled burn get stoned from all the smoke!!!!!

I have a picture some where that I cut out of a local weekly newpaper of the local law enforcement peeps standing around what was about the size of a round haybale of burning pot.

No masks, respirator and standing about 5 feet or so away, most down wind.
