Had some friends bird hunting today. They called, had found a dead buck.
I called the game warden, so off Pal and I went to see it. Of course Pal got to it before me.

Full Draw, it had been dead a good while, the back end had been eaten out and the rest was dried up pretty good, didn't see any visible wounds.
Mikejulie game warden gave me permission to claim it.

Shame he went to waste, he looks like he would have been a good one.

He was probably 3 1/2 years old. Had been wounded when he was a yearling and grew crooked each year since. Very small and narrow.Big knot on his front left leg.

shame to find him that way. Good to see you and the pup out though.
