    I was driving down the road today and noticed a tree full of vulture's so I was looking around and saw the body of a deer laying there so I went to look at it and sure enough it was a decent buck for this time of year:bash: :bash: . I don't know what killed the deer I couldnt see anything that really stuck out to me so I don't know if some kind of disease got it or what but it really is a bummer to find the deer already.

    That's a shame. Here in PA they're just coming into velvet, none really have big racks yet they're just six inch daggers.

    Real close to a road, probably a roadkill?

    It looks like the back leg is broke or it could be how the pic was taken. If it is broken the deer could have went along way.

    That sucks. Nature can be cruel at times though.

    That really does suck, but I gotta say that picture of the vultures in the tree is very cool.
