Well guys,

Lastnight I talked to my neighbor and he was telling me that he was walking on my "honey hole" property that is off limits to hunting to everybody but myself and whoever I take. He has permission to go walking on the property when hunting season out and is a nice guy. Well, lastnight he asked me if I lost a buck over where I arrowed my 12 point. I said no and asked him why and he told me that while he was walking the gaswell road that he saw a nice dead buck laying in the golden rod field. Well, I headed out today after work to check it out and sure enough, there was a buck. I wasn't sure just how big it would be as he doesn't hunt. Even though it wasn't a huge buck, it was a nice one that had alot of potential. I turned it over and found a bullet hole about midway back of its body. I took my saw and got the antlers off it, and I also looked over the teeth. From what I got it appears to be a good looking 2.5 year old 7 point. Here is a pic of the rack...



To say I am disgusted is an understatement. I have spent years investing my time and money into this property to turn it into what it is and for it to hold the deer that it does, not to mention the time I spent with the landowners to acquire the rights to hunt this land just for some idiot who doesn't have permission to be there to walk in and kill this buck.

***UPDATE***

Well guys, I just got the skull cleaned up and decided to score this guy, here are the measurements..

That gives the buck a gross score of.... 121-5/8" as a 2.5 year old 7 point. I will try to add some better pictures later tonight, the one I posted is from my cell phone and doesn't do the deer justice!
