Chester Moore unravels a bizarre case that begins with a man posing as a woman to poach deer in a city park—and spirals into a shadowy world of wildlife trafficking, exotic animal cloning, and black-market “Frankensheep.”

In this unusual episode of Dark Outdoors, we uncover one of the strangest wildlife crime stories ever told. It begins with a man posing as a woman to gain illegal access to a city park—and its vulnerable deer population.

But what starts as a bizarre poaching scheme quickly spirals into something far darker:

  • A hidden web of wildlife trafficking and exotic animal cloning

  • Shocking connections to the black-market trade of Marco Polo sheep

  • The creation of “Frankensheep hybrids” for high-stakes deals in the underground animal trade

Join us as we follow the trail from urban deer blinds to the global black market, exposing a story where greed, cloning, and poaching collide in the darkest corners of the outdoors.
