As a family farm we never thought we would be in this kind of situation, you always want to be trusting of hunters and give those the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, that can’t always be done. In regard to Field and Stream story about Mr. Settles deer, it was in fact harvested from our preserve in southern Indiana on 9/9/21. Unfortunately due to the nature of the situation and the privacy/safety of the hunter, we are not able to post information that contains his personal information i. e. address, phone number. We have spoken with Field and Stream employees and have sent them all the necessary information to prove that this deer was not harvested on Mr. Settles land, rather harvested from our preserve. The truth will come out.
