I had an *issue* last year that nearly put me in this position.

I lost a critter, & took one the next day. The day after harvesting mine we finally found the one I lost. It had been totally snarfed by the Twolves for a day (we knew they were on him but after the initial ' call in' to the kill they shut up & we couldn' t find them). After the wolves had their fill the ravens took over - they didn' t shut up & I walked right in on the remains.

I would have tagged the lost buck had I found it sooner.

I did take the horns - and what was left of the arrow & broadhead. I made a display & wood burned " never again" in it - I look at it every day in the garage.
