This Shot Wasn’t Cupid’s

A woman on a dating app told a man she was chatting with that she’d shot a “bigo buck.” He expressed interest: did she use a bow? Where? He even asked for a picture. Some time later, screenshots of the chat and photos of a deer — and its severed head — were posted to the Oklahoma Game Wardens’ Facebook page, and the woman and her accomplice are looking at four digit fines: The random guy in the chat was Cannon Harrison, a game warden in McIntosh County. “You can’t just ignore a broken law that falls right in your lap, but [it] was kind of a bummer,” Harrison said. “She said it was her first deer ever, too.” (AC/Tulsa World) ...And it cost her deerly. She didn’t even catch the buck she’d found online.
