Barile,

Yes that was what I noticed. The buckets were turned on side and I could see where some critters had made off with whatever was left inside.

After putting 2 and 2 together, I changed my decision on another find I made there in 2000. In mid-September I usually go out squirrel hunting on my birthday, so I went to that same parking area and walked to the hardwood stand of trees that's SE of the lot. I dropped 2 fox squirrels, one was the largest I've ever seen. As the sun started to set I began walking to my truck when I happened to look out into the strip field closest to the road. I seen what I first thought was a pile of soybean harvest waste until I could just make out the white lines surrounding a deers nose.

When I walked up, there laid a nice buck, would have been an 8-point except that the left G2 was broken off apparently just before losing velvet. There was 4-5 different sets of coyote tracks around it and several fox prints. I assumed it was a coyote kill, it was fairly fresh 1-2 days. But as I looked back on the episode, both hind legs were gone and the hide stripped up the back just like the ones found there last year. This crap blows.

If I'm there for P-N-T, I'll be in a Blue Grand Cherokee. On the rear window there is a sticker that says "I'D RATHER BE BOWHUNTING".

Stop me if you see me, you sound like an ethical hunter and I would be glad to meet you.
