...I found him. I shot this buck last year on November 10. Hit him in the shoulder. I was out today looking around and stumbled on him. I remember his G2's being very long and his right side being weaker than his left. I thought he was an eight, but a big six. I guess better late than never??

Glad you found it,nice to have closure on it.
My daughter had the same thing happen a few years back,it was her first deer that was actually found by a farmer almost 1 year to the day later.Amazingly enough,it hadn't been touched by mice or squirrels.
Here is how it sits in her room.We did nothing to it,just put it on her dresser.

I shot this buck at 1705 on November 10, 08 at 11 yds. I hit him in the shoulder with a cx 250 out of a katera at 64# with an st 100. I got 7" of penetration, followed a good blood trail for about 60 yds, then the buck stared zig zagging bad. Lost the trail shortly there after. Looked for 2 days with help. The hide on the deer was the only hide anywhere to be found. He was in a field next to a stream and the head/rack were laying on the right side. Skeleton was mostly scattered. I only found the skull, some vertebrae, ribs and back femurs. I'm really suprised that nothing gnawed on his antlers.
