He will be safer on my wall than he was in the field. Tax man found a 22 bullet lodged in his skull and he also had one eye poked out.
Got my 2019 eight point back

looks nice, congrats to you
and I think its a lot more common than many think to find slugs in deer,
on one property I hunted the last 15 deer I shot off it, all had slugs in them, several has bullet holes in there ears too, have also found some with broadhead blades in them too!
last buck I shot there, was a buck I passed on the night before, was in food plot till dark!
I was hoping he made it to next season, and he showed up next morning limping with a few slugs in him
I ended up shooting him as I didn;lt think he would survive his wounds, found 3 45 caliber pistol slugs in him!, and two older 22 bullets in him as well
Poor guy took a lot of Hits over his life time!
he had s lot of meat that IMO was questionable due to all the scar build up about slugs, I opted to scrap the meat to be on the safe side!
some area's just have a LOT more cheaters than others,. a shame IMO< but is what it is here it seems!
and why so few every seen 3 yr old bucks here!

That’s a helluva deer.
Either I’m a decent shot, or the average hunter is terrible: I rarely wound and don’t recover a deer. Maybe it comes down to shot selection? I do feel like I pass up several questionable shot opportunities for every one that I take, even on the same animal.

Looks great Native, very nice buck!
I do taxidermy and im amazed at how many nearly fatal injuries a buck takes on! Any buck over 3 or 4 yrs old usually has some battle scars whether it be a broadhead encased in bone, a shallow bullet healed in, a punctured rib or missing eye from fighting. Theyve all had close calls.
