A waisted buck in vail this morning.

If you shoot it, you own it. Don't ever waste game.  Can't say you lost it when it's in the middle of the road.

Is that a legal deer for that unit?
If it wasn’t left to rot of course.

Did it have a bullet hole?   Could it have died from other means??  Maybe hit by a vehicle??

You can see the hole right behind the shoulder.

Do deer have a waist? If they wore pants, would it just be on the back two legs?  :chuckle:

Thats really strange. It's hard enough to find a legal buck during general season. Can't imagine why someone would leave such good vittles...

Wow. :bash:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I'm betting they popped it after hours, then lost their nerve about getting it past a gate.

You can’t bring deer across the gates after dark there?  Not sure why that would deter someone. (Taking a deer home well after last light)



Being a legal deer, what if it fell out of the back of someone’s truck, they didn’t realize it until home and by that time didn’t won’t to spend the time going back. 

I’ve seen that happen more than once in my hunt clubs in the south.   Members pull up to the clubhouse to show off their deer.  Walk to the back of the truck/sxs and the deer is gone.   Back track the roads and an hour later, show back up with their deer full of embarrassment.
