Fishing for deer?
Some buddies and I went bowfishing for carp a few weeks back, and one of the guys hauled in a decently rackedskull from a deer that died at the water's edge over the winter.
Not what we expected to find, but cool nonetheless. We managed to bring in 48 carp too. ;) http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2039879 |

The funny thing about it is that the same guy found a second one later that night, but couldn't get it because it was pinned under a submerged fallen tree. He found one last year too, and I don't know anyone else who has found even one in the water. I want his luck.
We saw a huge beaver that night too (yeah you can bowfish after dark, you just need 3,000 watts of floodlight and a generator. No, really.). The beaver wasthe size of a suitcase, and naturally the phrase of the evening was..."Did you see the size of that beaver?!", ...and it went downhill from there. :DWe get a bit slap-happy after dark. It wouldn't be any fun if all we did all night was shoot moving targets with scales. Well, actually it would, but we would be missing a few laughs. |

Nice deer. Are you gunna mount him or somthing? Good find!

RE: Fishing for deer?
AWESOME.
did he get the other rack? how big was the other one? |
RE: Fishing for deer?
That's a heck of a catch:D
|
RE: Fishing for deer?
I don't remember how big last year's was.
Not going to mount it, just thought it was a fairly unique find, or at least a unique way of finding it. :D He gave me this head, and I'll keepit to show kids and new hunters. Maybe do something with the antlers later on. |

That's a nice deer. I wonder why so many die by the waters edge, surely not of dehydration.

RE: Fishing for deer?
That is a crazy find.....congrats.

RE: Fishing for deer?
Animals that have shot (or even humans) are dehydrated.Theygo to the water to drink and most die there, that is why when you have shot a deer and cant find -- start looking around ponds and small streams.
