Default RE: I think I just found my Halloween buck!

OK....I have a couple questions/statements....

1. What would a deer look like that had been in a cooler for 1 month? We've had temps here in the teens, 20's and 30's at night.....and highs in the 40's and low 50's most. I suppose a LOT of freeze/thaw.

2. I didn't find my BH.....but I gotta be honest....I didn't spend a ton of time in there. I figured the entire arrow could've easily been pulled. It stunk to high heaven. His crotch and everything inside, cavity-wise, was gone. The rest of his body, I gotta be honest....don't look terrible. Eyes are gone. But...his coat doesn't look that bad.

3. There's a wound where I thought my arrow entered....but I can't tell you for sure it was my arrow.

When I shot this buck it was in the low 20's .....and I glassed him. I had fog on my binos....and I couldn't make his rack out DEFINITIVELY. But it looks to be the same one. I told everyone he was a 90-100" buck....and that's what he is. I might be fooled and he could go a little higher.

I dont know what to think, really. It's not that I'm happy. I'm not. I'd just like to know if its him....and I don't know if I can say that for sure. If he had no wound....there wouldn't be a question. He has one....right where I thought it was.....and that's what makes me think it is him.
