Looks like some severe road rash to go along with them broken legs. Glad you found him Mike.

Yep no need letting him suffer. I would have done the same thing...

Mike, hold your head up high buddy. You guys did the right thing. It is a shame though. He is a beautiful young buck with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this stuff happens every once in a while. There is no shame in what you guys did. He'll make a beautiful trophy.

I remember a while back I came across a nice buck lying in a ditch during archery season. He was busted up pretty bad from a car. Myself and another guy put him out of his misery. It is definitely better than seeing them suffer, thats for sure.

Kudos to you and your crew.

You done well, that deer probably wouldnt have even made it through that night. Still, not a bad deer at all!

you did the right thing mike and he is a great buck good think you got him before the yotes did

Whether it be a buck of this magnitude or a little forky......what a tough way to go. I am glad you and your buddies were ale to end the suffering.

Stuff happens.Nothing we can do about it. I think if you do this hunting game long enough a similar thing will happen to us all. I watched 4 bucks all summer long once. I shot the 10, the big 12 got killed the night before season opened by a car, the big 8 was jack lighted and left and the 6 pointer got killed by a car. All 4 gone within a couple weeks. Really bummed me out even though I shot the 10.

Hate to see him go that way...but WOW! what a memorable hunt. Going for does, getting a nice buck.

That is a nice one, to bad we can't see him next year. Glad you could finish him.

Glad to see you found him/stumbled upon him. Its terrible, but id feel better if i was in that situation if someone checked me out so i didnt have to suffer anymore.
