My neighbor was out walking to his stand the other day and saw this buck locked up with another dead buck. Walked up and put him out of his misery at about 5 yards. Decent 10 and a decent 9, see you if you notice the huge brow tines on the deer with the body cut off!
Brow tines are cool looking. Too bad they got locked up. I hate seeing that. Had a neighbor a few years ago that found a couple of big bucks locked up. Both dead when he found. Coyotes hadn't gotten to them yet. He was thinking about trying to get a mount made, but I don't think he ever did. Probably would have been tough job for the taxi man.
wow cool experience but sad to see a big one die like that. now my question is which one goes on the wall?
well he tagged the one he shot, called the DNR and they gave him some special tag for the buck that was dead? couldn't tell ya what it was called but they said they were going to go look at the body for some reason??
That's crazy! You see this stuff come up quite a bit now it seems like... sad to see two nice bucks "go to waste" like that but if I ever found two nice ones like that I would definitely get them mounted locked up together.
