Phenomenal deer! And I’d say you had no shortage of help dragging it out

Had 2 of my sons with me!
Best deer draggers west of the Mississippi:)

Awesome Jordan - the buck and the family too!!!!

 

[Brian662]

They didn’t ask and honestly I probably would have said no. We put in a hell of an effort. I spent half my day and all my free time between sits trudging around my property on nov 8 for someone else’s deer. That where it ends

More than fair, IMO.

Nice buck and an even better shot! Congrats on the great deer and the happy family!

I don’t think drones can smell.

Or puke in yer kitchen

Or chew up yer shoes

Or love you.

Dogs smell 10,000 times better than us according to what I have read.

Youngest son just about to shoot this nine point tonight at the koi pond behind the house.you can see him drawn back in the tree.
He made a nice double lung.


Hour and a half later this guy shows up after all that.


Two does with fawns and two other bucks came in besides the forked brow after he shot his deer tonight. All right behind our house.
And that’s a zumi crab behind the buck still holding fruit.

Spent the last 2.5 hours going 800 yards in my property trailing a buck we didn’t find. But he was my only real shooter so i have nothing to lose. Good young man so i wanted to find the deer but so far striking out despite som good blood for a while
Edit: to clarify i didn’t shoot this deer. My neighbors grandson did.

Any thought of bringing in a dog?

No. They didn’t even ask. I’m neighbored out. It’s a damn war zone here.
Just found this in my creek too. Not the same deer. Long way off. Don’t know him. No visible wounds

 

[Mortenson]

Dang. Sucks man

 

[Howboutthemdawgs]

I have no idea what got him. Maybe ehd ran him down and the rut capped him off? These look like ehd hooves?

Dang good deer. Would have been a monster in a year or two

Dang good deer. Would have been a monster in a year or two

if I see a deer that good, as soon as I'm done cleaning myself up.afrer shitting myself I'm shooting that all day every day! Great deer. Sucks.ypu had to find him that way, feel for ya.

 

[omicron1792]

Was trying to figure out your post @Bill Loser! Looks like I said the second part but I didn’t, I think that’s just your reply to my post.

I’ve shot much much smaller @Bill Loser. I hear you.

It actually looks a lot like the one I took last year. Mine was a mature deer though so not sure how much bigger he would have gotten. But I certainly left no chance for us to find out!

Allegedly nothing eats a EHD kill except maggots so I think you can rule that out.

I definitely don’t think ehd killed him per se but I’m just trying to play in my head what would have. Maybe he went into the rut too worn down from ehd and couldn’t survive Who knows. Wasn’t hit by a car where he was and I didn’t see anything indicating an entry or exit wound. And given how much of him was gone it say it’s likely been longer than 24 hours and that’s all the longer rifle season had been in

The hooves look like he could have been trying to recover from EHD. Entrance wounds are hard to tell sometimes. Could he have been gut shot? If so, it may have entered on his left side and exited on his right where all the meat and hide are missing. If it entered through his left gut, an entrance wound could be pen sized and hardly noticeable at all.

Yeah I’m going back in the am to get the head. Hopefully he’s still in tact and I can look him over even better
