Eastwood, yes he is sure it was the same deer, as i said the arrow never exited the body, so it was still stuck in there. My uncle identified it as his arrow. Unless some one shot the exact same arrows.....and also he found the identical antler he saw when he shot it. about 4 feet away. and rcw, im aware of the rules for antlered and antlerless in WI seeing as how i live and hunt in the state.
