I thought it was alive and feeding until I saw that the body extends upwards at the top of the picture.  It's dead for sure!
I almost thought someone shot it and it got up and ran away.  :chuckle:

Glad I wasn't the only one.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

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

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

what time of year are you hunting there? are you running cams in late nov and december?
I hunt all seasons cuz I swap out my type of hunting.1 year total archery, next maybe half and half...or muzzy. I have my cams up all year and from late Dec to late Jan only have moose on the cams...or yotes. I have seen a couple big bucks through out the years but never had the opportunity to make any kind of shot. One day maybe

must be location, the property i hunted on over there they killed 130 inch deer on every year for a long time but in the last four years I am the only one to kill a mature buck (140'') from what I hear the deer are getting less and less every year. There are so many predators and so many hunters in that county...
