Well, I'm the guy who found the deer. The one I found last year was a nice 10 pt. Again, it was on the bank but right at the water's edge. And as every one has stated they do run for water when hit in the right place. With the generator lights on the rack really stand out in the dark. The one in the picture was still in tack with the whole skelton in place. The one we could not get out of the water still had the hide and was almost whole. But boy did it stink. As Chris said we could not get it up, and really did not try too hard with the smell. The 10 pt that I found last year I gave to a guy and had some ball point pen's made out of it. Pretty unique. I plan on donating one to the club to auction off.
Boy did we see a huge beaver..or did chris say that..??
