RE: Have you ever found someone else's dead deer?
Many many moons ago when I was stationed in North Dakota I was walking out the long way from a bow hunt and found a small fork buck laying about fifteen yards just inside the woods. I walked out into the field and waited about ten minutes to see if the only other person who was allowed to hunt this property would drive by. Right as I was getting ready to go talk with the farmer who owned the property about the dead deer a guy drove by asking if I had seen a deer come running out of the woods wounded.
I Told him no but I had found a dead buck and it was in the woods behind me about fifteen yards. The guy was so amazed I did not take his deer he offered me twenty dollars))). Needless to say I turned it down, come to find out he was the adjoining property owner hunting on this property. He was so impressed that I did not bag and tag his deer he offered to let me hunt his property.
So in the end I did the right thing and got about 1000 more acres of land to hunt))).
