I just heard my first eyewitness report of a buck wearing a hunter orange vest here in Arkansas. I guy I know was trout fishing over the weekend and saw one in the woods along side the river. I would never have believed it if I hadnt heard about it here first.

Urban legend alert! Urban legend alert! Watch out there's Big Foot behind you.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'll give any member on this board $1000 who can catch a wild buck and put an orange vest on him!
SCRIDER, I think you've been had. Think about it.

Shorthair does he still have to be breathing I could use the money?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I know of a few people that have taken in fawns from car-killed does and nursed them til they grew. They kept the deer in the house as a pet at times and during deer season they put a orange vest or a orange bandanna around it's neck. In a few years it grew into a nice 8 point buck and they couldn't keep it in the house because it got rammy and mean. A neighbor shot it across the road in a field chasing some does with the orange vest on it knowing that it was their pet (which I think is illegal, The pet part) And there ended up being a huge feud over it. These people have nursed many wild animals back to health. This is what could have happened in your case.

hey shorthair how about just a orange collar?i could put 1000 to good use.

I'VE ALSO HEARDOF PEOPLING DO THAT DEER SLAYER.

I think if I ever saw that happen I would keep my mouth shut, because without pictures I know everyone would laugh there A$$ off.

Scrider1,I think it is just another trick those bucks are starting to use to throw us hunters off.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Why do we as hunters where orange?
If you guessed, &quot;so other hunters can see us in the woods&quot;, you win.
Now with that said why would somebody put an orange vest on a deer that they didn't want a hunter to shoot?

Deer are actively hunting nowadays! They just started to hunt humans and do not want to get shot by other deer!
