The Ohio Division of Wildlife tells TMZ the real deal behind the viral pic -- the guy was actually picking up 2 geese that were hit in a Columbus car accident. And by the way, that's 45 minutes from Springfield, where Trump's wild claims supposedly took place.
The wildlife org clarified to us you usually need a statement or receipt from the county sheriff or wildlife officer to claim an animal carcass. But the Franklin County Wildlife Office tells TMZ that for geese, you don't always need a receipt ... so the guy was totally in the clear to have them.
Also, we're told there's no evidence the man is an immigrant, or Haitian, or had plans to eat the geese. They make it clear the whole story's being blown out of proportion thanks to Trump's comments this week and his fans amplifying the narrative online.

Hi, official government department here, whatever would make immigrants look bad is officially fake and made up. All democratic talking points are official legal truth

America is such a giant country that you can say literally any r-slurred thing and there will be at least 1 person who unironically does it. And if not, someone will start doing it because you said it.

Us rural Americans eat roadkill too. If I see someone hit a deer and they don't take it, why the frick not?

I am actually pretty disappoint. Someone who can actually kill a goose with their bare hands is a baller.
Also because that means he didn't eat it. They are vicious motherlovers which is why they taste so good.

A Park Ranger once asked me what kind of Asian I was. And went "Whew. Thank god."
when I said I was Korean.

Yeah, you're right. It's by and large not American racial minorities visiting our national parks, which is the sort that most law enforcement officers get chuddy from dealing with. I'm sure Chinese tourists suck to deal with too, though they're probably less likely to have a weapon.

Wasnt the photo taken by some redditor? How would the division know the context behind the photo?

I see you have never had the pleasure of dealing with the wildlife gestapo. Motherlovers frequently catch people poaching because they posted pictures of their kills on the interwebs.
