Default FOUND A GROUND CHECKED BUCK TODAY!!!!!

This afternoon my best friend and I went hunting. Well, I pushed a small patch of woods out to him and nothing came out. I found this odd because there is ALWAYS deer in it. Well, I went and got set up and he pushed a hill side that is about 1 1/2 miles long that is NOTHING but briars. This place is usually entirely PACKED with deer. I mean, on average, 20 deer will come out of it, but, nothing today. Well, on my way out of my woods, I saw foot tracks. I followed them because nobody should have been on my property. Well, they lead right up to the 3 point that I walked up on Monday morning. Someone shot him right through the base of the neck. Definetly not a instant kill shot. The deer died in a way that made it look like it was bedded down, not the normal fall over deer. I checked out his leg because he was limping and I noticed that it was broke. My guess is that some idiotic piece of trailor trash was walking on my property, tresspassing, saw this buck, shot it, walked up to where it bedded down, then just left it. The deer had his legs tucked under him and everything. When I first saw it, I thought it was just sleeping. I think that he got shot and was already in so much pain from having a broken leg that he just laid there with a bullet in the bottom of his neck and died a slow death. It brought tears to my eyes to think of what that deer went through. He is only a 1 1/2 year old, but he was showing potential. I passed on this guy last year when he was a small spike (2-3" spikes). He had a 12" spike on both sides, but his right side forked with a 7" fork. Not a huge body, maybe 130#, but, he probablly would have been a good one in two or three years. I followed this "hunters" tracks and they lead to a 4 wheeler trail that leads out to the highway.

People like this aren't hunters, they are pieces of crap that don't have the right to call themselves hunters. I hope this person never sees another deer in his life, let alone get a shot at another one. I wish this person the worst luck in life and I wish that with all my heart. I mean, if you shoot an illegal buck and don't want to report it, ATLEAST TAKE THE BODY. It is pointless to leave it lay in the woods to rot. OOOOOOOOOO, I am so ticked right now. Sorry for the long post, I just had to vent.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
