I am about to post another series of photos. Bones Bucks I. I spotted the guy featured in that series and was headed to get closer when I ran into sleepy head here. Funny thing is they are about identical twins.

Glad he's alive. If you ever DO come across a fresh shot and left mature buck or bull during closed season, be sure to call law enforcement ASAP - be diligent, and make sure you speak to an officer. If a dispatcher tells you they'll have an officer call you, tell them if you don't get that call within 10 minutes you will be calling back every 10 minutes until you DO speak to an officer.
For WDFW, call the WA State Patrol.
VERY standard M.O. for scum of the earth to shoot the buck or bull and walk or drive away, only to come back for only the head after midnight. Always sweet when officers can set up on a scene like that and catch them in the act. Worth 10 points for you if an arrest is made.

Awesome post!
The opportunity to see things like that is one of the many reasons I love getting into the woods.
I have never seen a deer actually asleep. Often bedded but never zonked out like that.

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.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I saw that for the first time this year in Montana. I was putting a sneak on a big buck who was sleeping. His head would bob up and down and the his rack would totally disappear for a few minutes then raise up. I looked below the patch he was bedded in and there was a 3 pt totally sprawled out like the buck in your picture. I assumed he had been killed in a fight or something. He looked like a dog laying there. After about 20 minutes he got up and stretched. Cool pictures.
