Default Botched poaching attempt

I tried holding off posting this, because it really sickens me. This year I took a buck up in Wisconsin during rifle season. But this isn't your average buck, this is a buck walking around with holes in his head.

On opening morning, after sitting for awhile, I met up with some buddys. We were walking down a logging trail when my one buddy spotted this buck. The buck was acting real strange, he would walk down the trail, turn into the woods, then back up, almost like he was blind. He turned broadside at around 130 yards, and I took him. He didn't go far, maybe 30 yards.

Upon inspection I was shocked, he had a hole in his head that caught my eye instantly. I flipped him over and he had another hole, this one smaller.

His throat and stomach was full of feed corn, which doesn't suprise me. I'm guessing this buck was shot a few days at most before opening day. He was pretty deep in the woods and moving slowly to be shot that morning....
