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.

Not gutted, no tag…

You just have to be out of the gate by 1.5 hours after sunset, unless you are camping.

I’d say, just because you found it dead on that road, doesn’t mean that’s the road it was shot on. Could have shot it anywhere, and that’s just where it died. Maybe they lost its track, who knows.  :twocents:

 :yeah:

Sadly it could have ran 2 miles and just died right there. Don't know. Still unfortunate.

Maybe it was it's final resting place? Shot it, tracked it couldn't find anymore blood and lost it. It could of died right there and they had no idea. That's what I'm hoping anyway.  I find it odd someone would shoot a legal buck on the road and just leave it.

Wasted game not good.
Maybe they forgot there tag.
Maybe they drove around till they shot a bigger one.
Maybe they didn't have the ability to load it into truck.

Heck I don't know,no excuse for it though.

Ungutted and no tag affixed.
