Well, not a buck I would typically ever pull the trigger on, but I walked up on this buck at 84 yards while tracking a significantly larger buck, and he refused to get out of his bed and wouldn't lift his ears as he looked at me.

Based on his posture, I assumed something was wrong with him, so my empathetic side got the better of me and I put him out of his misery point blank. When I got up to him, I discovered someone had taken a head-on, or Texas heart shot, pop at him and blew a body-long wound through his buck-parts and through the length of his lower belly. Stunk like a mother, poor buck.

Folks really need to not take shots they're not confident in. This is the 3rd year in a row I've found wounded on the hoof, or dead, bucks that folks made poor shots on.

Congrats 👍
Someone needed to put there tag on him. Thanks for that.
Meat still good I hope.

 Curious was this rifle, muzzy or archery?

Most of it, he had these odd white ovals all over his brisket and neck meat that oozed black when cut open. Wasn't quite sure if that was safe to eat or not.

Rifle season, 8th day.

Based on the way his points round off like that is it possible he was wounded another way? Looks like he probably wasn’t healthy at the end of antler growing season in late July/early August
