Update Wounded? Video Buck.
 

The buck that was topic of the "great debate 08" lol that many felt was hit in the guts and others just over the spine was spotted tonight. It was last light, I was packing up and I glassed down the field one last time. I spotted a single deer in my food plot and could tell that it had antlers and white ones.

I continued to glass it and then he marched right down the field and past me and I verified it was him with my binos. He was healthier than hell so either he wasn't hit in the guts or he wasn't hit at all and MOTOWN was right, it was a very coincidental tuffs of hair. [8D]

Friday will be 2 weeks since he was "supposedly" hit. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=3101970&mpage=1

I'll be the first to admitI was wrong ,I would have bet that deer was fatally wounded.

Is this the truth Rob, or are you just saying it to put this issue to bed???[8D]:D

RE: Update Wounded? Video Buck.
 

Yeah Al, I'm lying to you all. Hell yes I saw him tonight at last light. We'll be back there in the morn, hopefully I'll get him on video again.

Just like we figured. Last I saw him/filmed him he really was fine. He didn't appear sickly, I know Rob would have shot him if he had. I was there, good call buddy. I bet tonight felt good seeing him.

Then the wounds that were cited as "above the spine" obviously weren't wounds at all. I defer to MEZ on such matters.

No issue with that, then.

Why obvious?

I'd like to see Kurt shoot him in the morning to put an end to this.

Just playin Rob, i'll take your word for it.[8D]

When who ever does shoot it, it outta be mounted, full body, ruffed up fur and all.

Aww man, does this mean I have to change my avatar?[8D]

If you don't think it's obvious....then you have a difference of opinion with the most knowledgeable person on animal biology probably on this site (he has published journals on such matters).

He stated very clearly and concisely that the tufts cited as wounds WOULD DEFINITELY have been a below the spine hit....and that the animal would die from them.

So your difference of opinion is with him. I just happen to agree with him...and did all along.
