Roadkill Blacktail near Arlington
« on: September 27, 2012, 06:24:07 PM »
This 4X4 blacktail lost a decision to a minivan near Arlington this morning.  I was impressed with the very large body and already swollen neck.  The deer was still alive when I arrived on scene so it wasn't bloated from laying there all night or anything. 
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again

Beautiful buck, too bad.

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Sooooooooooooo, did it get left and went to waste??????  Did someone get a possession tag?????  take it home and butcher it? 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Very sad that would have made many hunters season to bag a blacktail that size.

The last word I got the owner of the land where it ended up was calling his brother who has a bow tag I believe to come and get it.  I went on my way because it made me sad to see such a great animal end that way.  He was pretty busted up.

Who cares. At least it won't get wasted if that happens. It is such a nice buck. Hwy. 530  :dunno: I know where a buck was there that may be him because that grass kind of looks like it :P

It was on Hwy 9 north of Grandview Rd toward the county line.
