I have found quite a few dead deer. More dead moose than deer but i usually find at least one or two a year. Most of them are coyote kills on fawns. I have only found one deer that had been killed by a hunter. I was out scouting for moose in november and i ran across spots of blood. So i followed the blood for 200 yards and i came across a big 4 pointer that is pushing 160. He had been shot in the hind quarters and had worked his way back into the forest to die. The deer was a pretty fresh kill because the birds had not fed on it yet and the body was not stiff. To make things worse this deer was shot on my land which was posted "hunting with permission only". I had been seeing this buck quite a bit in the fall and i had my eyes on him only to found him dead. I left the area because i thought the hunters may come back for him. I went back a week later and all that was left was his rack. I was scouting on a sunday afternoon and had hunted that field saturday evening and never saw anyone or that buck. So i believe this deer was taken staurday night or sunday sometime which is illegal. Really burns me that somebody would do this.
