Botched poaching attempt....
Here are a couple pics I took last summer of a buck that some poachers took a shot at. The buck was a lot closer to the truck when we first saw it, but it took me a bit to get the camera out and by then he was 100 yrds away. Hopefully you can see him alright.
It was a pretty sad sight. He tried drinking from a beaver pond, but could not because his lower jaw was shot off. It's a shame what people will do.

What a beautiful buck. Poachers are nothing but morons and criminals in my book. Its a problem in my area but little can be done unless they are caught in the act. The shame is some people won't call the law or they look the other way when they know poaching has happened.
Any idea what happened to the buck?

My uncle took a buck this year who had a hole in its antler. At first we thought it was from a blow fly (or whatever bug they are), but upon closer inspection at the Taxi's...it became apparent that a poacher tried to take him when his velvet was just hardening....there was a hole through the antler...and then some regrowth around the whole. My uncle almost didn't have a chance to take the buck.
So yea...I hate poachers too![:@]
