Hey GregH.

About the buck in your pic, Do you know the guys set up and why he did not get more penetration?? Was it a long shot ??

I'm not sure what the guys setup was and I'm a bit rusty on the story. I'll call my friend that knows the guy and ask.

To believe or not to believe. This deer was to reported be found with this in his chest cavity (from a previous year wound). Makes you want to be careful field dressing a deer after seeing the picture whether you believe or not.

could have been attacked by something

Proof they can survive yes. But for how long? How will such a wound affect an animal over a long cold winter? And because the wounds are still open he could still succumb to infection. I hope he makes it untilhe meets your antler requirments.

What does this mean? I think that you are directing this towards me since I posted the pic. First, I didn't shoot the deer and don't know the guy that did. Read my post again. Second, If I did shoot the deer, then he already met my requirements.

No GregH, that was for MichaelT about the original post pics. If that deer you posted was on anybobys restricted antler list I would be amazed! I am very curious about the setup that guy used or how long the shot was to have so little penetration. I thought about maybe a mech head malfunction. Sorry I didn't make it clear about which deer I was refering to.

Last year I shot a doe that was missing it's front leg. I'm guessing it was shot off the year before, because it was healed over.

This buck here I mounted because I nicknamed him the "Cripple" buck.



I shot him because of an injury. You can see he's a smaller deer, neck and chest....

His right rear leg was smashed. His femur bone was sticking out at the "knee" and healed over. His paw was curled and he was walking what would have been the top and he was caliced over and hard. His hip was small. It was obvious he was smashed by a car. They go through a lot and they are amazingly resilient animals.

What was wrong with that really smallish Elk next to it.

Was it just its time....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

God Bless
