A Virginia man faces jail time and the loss of his hunting license after killing the well-known “Hollywood Buck.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Famous Hollywood Buck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 29-point deer, estimated to be six or seven years old, roamed the historic Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locals knew the buck well. Under Virginian law, shooting it within the cemetery is poaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poaching incident came to light after Jason Walters, one of the hunters involved, posted photos of the slain buck on the Facebook page “Star City Whitetails<\/a>,” run by Jeff Phillips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The page allows hunters to share their achievements, and Walters shared several deer photos, including one of the Hollywood Buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos, posted on December 14, 2023, showed Walters with a \u2018nontypical 29-point buck,\u2019 according to Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walters claimed in the post that he killed the buck in Prince Edward County with a muzzleloader. A gun that loads at the front end of the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing the Hollywood Buck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Local wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who had documented the deer in the cemetery quickly recognized the deer’s distinct antlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “I posted on my page, and within probably 10 minutes, somebody that follows my page sent me a private message with some pictures that a wildlife photographer in that Richmond area had taken of this deer,” Phillips told Fox News Digital<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realizing the buck’s significance, Phillips cooperated with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, providing the photos and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conservation police officer with the Virginia<\/a> Department of Wildlife Resources obtained a search and arrest warrant for Walters based on this evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arrest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WRIC<\/em> <\/a>reports that Walters was arrested on January 28, 2024. The arrest was in connection to the illegal killing of multiple deer, including the Hollywood Buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Wildlife Resources confirmed that Walters killed the Hollywood Buck illegally. This led to charges against Walters and another hunter, Alan Proffitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The illegal killing of the Hollywood Cemetery buck is a serious violation of Virginia\u2019s wildlife laws,” said Major Ryan Shuler, Deputy Chief of DWR Law Enforcement. He emphasized the priority of the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Repercussions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walters faced 20 misdemeanors. They sentenced him to 80 months in jail, with 76 months suspended. He will serve four months in the Richmond Jail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walters must also pay over $13,000 in fines and restitution. His hunting license was revoked for 100 years, with 75 years suspended. He faces a minimum of 25 years without hunting privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that Walters did several things illegally. Shooting the Hollywood Buck was not the only thing he did wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This suspension depends on his compliance with all terms of his plea agreement, including good behavior and obeying all laws. His case took until August 15, 2024, to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proffitt pled guilty to six charges. He received a $250 fine for five non-bailable charges. For the remaining charge, Proffitt was sentenced to six months in jail, with five months suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hunting license was revoked for six years, with four years suspended on each count, totaling two years without hunting privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Walters, Proffitt’s suspended sentence requires good behavior and adherence to the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hollywood Buck, known for its size and unique antlers, symbolized the Hollywood Cemetery, where hunting is prohibited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buck’s loss has sparked outrage among<\/a> locals and wildlife advocates, highlighting the need to respect wildlife laws and preserve the area’s natural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sensational story is a pretty powerful example of what not to do. As citizens in the United States, we get to hunt game as long as we follow the rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not following the rules is a sure way to have your freedom restricted. We don\u2019t really know if the two hunters recognized the Hollywood Buck when they shot it. But they still broke the law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moral of the story: Be smart and don\u2019t break laws. It\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
