I think its neat that you found him but I wouldn't count him as a "kill". I'd have trouble looking at those antlers on a mounteveryday knowing the circumstances of his demise.

I've lost deer before, and found them muchlater (a 7 point in 1992, and a Doe a couple years ago) so its not like I have some "better-than-thou" attitude. I'm just saying - its tough to call it a kill, and probably you should call what it is -a found deer.
