It is a nice 4x but I don't think he is that old. I would bet he is just coming into his prime. What a bummer.

I would have to agree with that. Looking at his face and body size again, he does look pretty young. Probably only 3.5

How do they get through the gate??
Especially when the gate is closed at night or when there is high volume of traffic. I think I've seen him last year by the back gate (bk) gate as well with 2 other bucks and some does when I was working out there for Aleut...

:yeah: In my book a point is a point, I don't get the 4X4 with eye guards. that's like saying it's a 4X4 with 2 extra points! :chuckle: Back east he'd be a 10 pointer. Oh well to each their own. He is a beautiful animal, too bad he had to go out that way. Tough as nails too! Shot twice, hit by a car, then shot 2 more times! Crickey, what a stud!
Exactly... In my book he is a 10 point!!
5x5 up here to me even though SOME people would only say he is a 4x4!!

So in a no hunting area, the guy has a bullet wound in the hind quarter and in the neck......Damn poachers!!!! I work at JBLM and get to see a lot of nice deer in the residential areas. I'm sure this guy has never been anywhere close to a spot that someone could legally shoot at him. >:(
He was easily in a hunting area....
Walk out the rail gate, cross the road..... :guns:
That being said, yes more than likely a less than honest shooter...
