someone stole my buck before i could recover it
i shot the biggest 6 point i ever saw on saturday morning. (17 inch spread and long tines) it was chasing a doe and stopped quartering away at 25 yards. i was pretty high up my tree and the deer was downhill and i ended up hitting the deer a little lower than i would have liked to and the arrow lodeged in the sternum of the deer without exitting.
i felt confident about the shot and figured i only took out one lung. after waiting an hour and a half. my brother and i started tracking it. we found some good blood about 25 yards from where i last saw the buck. it only led to a gut pile with leaves covered over it. i looked at the lungs to find my broadhead pattern in the one.
i figure that someone saw my deer go down or found it lying there dead and gutted it, covered the entrails with leaves, and then carried it out. since i couldnt find any sign of them draggin the deer out.
i have no idea who stole it since no one is supposed to be hunting the area where the deer ran to.
has anyone had this happen to them before. i m still real pissed.

Some how this isn' t as shocking as it should be. PEOPLE SUCK!!! I' m sorry to hear this happened. This isn' t all that uncommon where I hunt durring rifle season. If you don' t drop it in sight someone else is likely to add some lead to your deer and claim it as their own. God dose this piss me off![:@]

where' s the freakin story??? even though you didn' t post your story this kinda crapola happens all the time especially during rifle season , a buddy of mine went to get a buck he shot on private property and when he did some ahole pointed a gun at him and told him " leave that deer alone " ! to make a long story short he left it and went and shot another one he got that one!!
