Many years ago, my friend shot a buck with bow and arrow. Now that is not all the uncommon except the buck stood out in the middle of the field and he walk/stalked up to it. When he shot it, it ran off right into a tree. On closer inspection the eyes were all white glazed over and the face full of bird shot. He suspected some bird hunter had shot the buck in the face with a load of bird shot and blinded it.

After that incident, he posted his property and refused to let grouse and duck hunters cross it to the river. It was a shame that one stupid fool caused all the others to suffer but it was his property. I never faulted him for it. Beside, I was allowed to hunt it.
