    It is a great buck, but there is no hunting in Troy at all. Gun or bow, there are pictures of this deer as late as 12/20 in the nature area. 12/22 is the next picture in the back of a truck with a MI tag on it(done incorrectly I might add).

    Without a doubt it is the same. Big non-typicals are 100% unique, with no 2 ever really being the same. I see WAY to many similarities in those bucks.

    Looks like somebody shot a little high in those last pictures. Beautiful buck.

    I wonder what the story is if there is no hunting where the buck lived? Did he run away from home to commit suicide? Foul play??

    I don't know, but will keep you update, there are better pictures of the messed up area. To me it does not appear to be a missed shot.

    Here is a picture from the same woods I believe. I don't think these deer can "go" very far in Troy. They are pretty boxed in.

    Well if someone poached him, I hope they get the book thrown at them.

    If the buck wandered into a hunting area then good for the lucky hunter.
