The guy that put a stand just across the property line shot a small buck this morning (5 POINTER). I was hunting a stand about 150 yards down from him. The buck walked right under my stand at 7:30. I thought he was walking a little hunched up. As he passed by I thought I saw a small blood spot in front of his hind leg. Sure enough at 8:30 I hear two guys yelling back and forth and a four wheeler coming down the ridge behind me (on my property.) I got down and went to talk to them. He ask if I've seen a buck come by and I told him yes and that it was gut shot. He said "well it was a little too dark whenI shot".

To make a long story short...I told him to come back in about 6 hours and try and find him. The bad part is the deer went into a thicket that I leave as a small sanctuary and I never enter it unless I'm going after a deer. Turns out he didn't find it and now everything is all disturbed. I hope things settle down so I can get back after them soon. ( So much for hunting all day )
