A friend of mine a few years ago had one stolen. He shot a nice buck and while we were looking for it his cousin showed up to help. It was a bad shot and the deer ran a long way. We got seperated from his cousin at one point and heard a 4 wheeler start up. We trailed the deer to a point where we found a gut pile and 4 wheeler tracks. Later that evening we went to the cousin's house and his wife said he had killed a deer that morning and it was hanging in the barn but she hadn't seen him that afternoon. We looked in the barn and my friend said that he was sure that it was the deer he shot. Later that week he confronted the cousin which he denied everything. You can choose your friends but your stuck with your relatives.
