I am sorry to hear that. I know what it feels like. My first year of hunting, I had that happen. I had just shot one of the most beautiful bucks I had ever seen. It was probablly a 130" 10 point. I WATCHED it run across a small field, across a road and drop right by a gas well. The man sitting on the gas well turned around and shot my deer which was already down. I went up and told him that it was my deer and he started complaining that he put it out. I told him that I watched it go down and then he shot it. He threatened to call the Game Commision on me, along with the cops. I was young and didn't know that it would have been a good thing for the game commision to be their so I went back to my stand and waited for my dad and grandfather to get there. When they arrived, I told them what happened and all Hell started. My dad and grandfather wanted to go break that guys neck. He stole my first deer. We went to the gass well and he was already gone. O well, about 45 minutes later I shot a nice little buck, but nothing compared to that ten point. I guess you will always have that in hunting, but I will personally guarentee that nobody will ever take a deer of mine again. If they try, they will be in for one hell of a fight.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
