    Was scouting out a new area that i've recently been given permission to hunt, and came across this fella within about 30 minutes. Full skeleton, perfect rack.

    What I would not have given to see him alive.

    That is a dandy buck! To bad had to fall to mother nature. Sad hunter for sure if that was the case. I have been there.

    As much as that sucks I would much rather a hunter find it and still appreciate it then a maintenance crew or DNR find it and he ends up in a dumpster destroyed.
