Default Big 8 Pointer Found Dead on our property

I got some bad news yesterday when i arrived at the farm. My wifes cousin and father in law were working in the woods and stumbled upon one of the big 8 pointers that we watched last saturday evening while scouting. I dont have any pics of the buck but they did recover the horns. This buck was shot with a crabon arrow and what appears to be a Rocky broadhead. We know its not from our group but has to be one of the neighbors or from across the river. The arrow is only around 26-27 inches long and was still inplace in the buck. The buck was shot in the rear end and looks as if it took out the liver. Who ever it was was shooting at flag and had no idea what they were doing and had a short draw length. The deer appears to have laid there for several days. What a shame to see a great buck go to waste. This could have been a poaching attempt or just a bad shot. I will see if I can get pics of the rack this weekend. My cousins son has the rack in his possesion at the moment.
