Friend hit a very large 14 point buck with his truck two years ago. Bounced right off the side of his truck. People on the adjoining property came out to see and were bummed big time. Said they had been hunting it for several years. Anyway, he got a ride from his wife and went home quickly to get some supplies to haul it out of there and call the police about the truck and deer. When he got back, the people had drug it off to their garage and were just about to gut it when my buddy and the police showed up to reclaim. What gets me, is he told them his plans and that he was coming back for it, to claim legally with police permission, and they just figured it always belonged to them.

BTW, buddy had mounted. It's a monster. And he keeps a picture of him and his banged up truck next to it. So he's not hiding how it happened.
