Is that a legal deer for that unit?

Yes. Any buck

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.

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

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.

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)

Not gutted, no tag…

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:

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

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.
