dam!

got that in a text, from a buddy who knows the guy who was allowed to tag it.  He'd been hunting it for most of the season.  It was coming into his hay pile from across a major road.  My buddy joked the other day that the buck would probably get hit by a car coming to his hay pile....well, guess what happened.  The guy was at the buck when the gammie arrived and asked if he could use his archery tag on the buck and was granted permission, so at least it won't go to waste...nice buck.

bitter-sweet use of a tag. That is a toad!

I would gladly pay my deductible on my jeep for a buck like that. Wouldn't even tap the brake..... Awesome buck and that's great that someone benefited from it!

Not the story I heard norsepeak. I heard that the buck ended up going with the fish and game officer. Whoever found it was getting ready to cut the head off when a state trooper showed up. The state trooper then called fish and game and they came out and picked it up. I will do some checking and see what I can find out. I am in law enforcement as well so give me a few days but I will find out.

sad end

I see these people who intentionally feed deer who think they are helping the deer..little do they know they are killing them if theres a nearby highway!
