    I mean this isn’t a conspiracy. I don’t think the federal government as bad as it is has a program in place to steal antlers from private land.

    This is probably some pilot or lieutenant who wanted some antlers that he saw while flying over the wilderness and set down to grab them.

    If I were the rancher who owned the land and it was a one off thing I’d probably think it was funny. If they did it all the time I’d probably have a different opinion.

      The article confirms what you claimed. The pilot decided to land to collect antlers. All three people on the helicopter were charged with tresspassing, the NG added a standing order of “don’t do that”, and the antlers are likely going back to the landowners.
