RE: The beast is dead
i know what you mean 4 years ago we had two twin bucks on our property (about 60 acres) and when we saw them they were both identical sized and racked 8-pointers. in 1999 i got one of them and ever since me and my hunting buddy (my dad) have been after the other one. we had seen him several times at night and soforth and this past year he was a huge 10 pointer with good mass until we found him laying in the edge of a field. just across the field there had been a lot of construction and all we can figure is he was in the field one morning and some idiot popped him. the thing that made me upset was they only cut his rack about an inch from the base of the skull. then they left him there to rot. anyway i have often walked by the ceder trees that he rubbed the crap out of and wondered what could have been.
