Thieves steal Troy man's buck, hunting gear
The joy an older Troy man experienced after bagging a 5x5 white-tailed buck Nov. 20 in the Lower Yaak was quickly dashed after it was stolen, along with some of his hunting gear.
Bob Swiden, 74, was hunting about three miles up the Yaak River Road when he bagged the big buck. One of the antlers had a broken point. He began to drag the deer toward his truck, but he started having chest pains.
“I went to get help and when we got back, the deer and my backpack were gone,” Swiden said. “It was only about 40 minutes from when I left to when we returned, so whoever it was didn’t waste any time getting out of there.”
