Stuff happens.Nothing we can do about it. I think if you do this hunting game long enough a similar thing will happen to us all. I watched 4 bucks all summer long once. I shot the 10, the big 12 got killed the night before season opened by a car, the big 8 was jack lighted and left and the 6 pointer got killed by a car. All 4 gone within a couple weeks. Really bummed me out even though I shot the 10.
