Woke up got ready walked for not even 10 minutes and THIS is what i found. I guess he was hit by a car cause he was only 20 yards off the road. I have some pic and video of him in velvet last spring. But i guess i can say at least i found him..............

Hate it when I find them like that. He sure was a nice one.
Pal & I went out this afternoon. Pal only found one small one. No pic. my cam messed up.

what a nice deer. that is a shame, but at least you found him and can give him the honor he deserves. Going out in the morning and taking the new pup with me for his first trip.

You've got a nice Euro mount now without having to do any of the work cleaning and bleaching the skull. Still, it would have been a lot more gratifying to have gotten it while hunting instead of finding its carcass.

Sorry you had to find him like that instead of this fall - but at least you have that much - and BTW that sure is good looking pup smiling and smirking around there in the background :)
