First finds for me in 2006

During the first day of gun season I smelt a dead deer in the area that I was hunting, and it was close. So I decided after the season when start shed hunting that I would check where it was coming from. Here is what I found. It was a 22inch wide 9 pointer. Figures right where I was hunting. Should Of archery hunted that area more last year. I could of kicked my self!!!! I also found this 6 pointer about 200 yards away.

Do you have any idea what happened to them? Shot and not recovered, hit by car or illness? The 6 point looks like the right side of the rack had some damage while in velvet....maybe got infection from that?

It's neat that you found them! Congrats!

[BackWoods]

The six pointer did have some damage to his right side in velvet. I think the six point might of been shoot in archery season and left there because of the antler restriction. Hate to see that!!!!!! And the 9 point I found right outside of the school property line. Alot of people in the town were seeing a few nice bucks by this school. I'm thinking maybe poached And never recovered!!!!! Have a few people in mind that are known for that and he was one of the ones always seeing these big bucks there. Cant prove it though.This so called hunter shoots nice bucks off the road and acts like he worked so hard to get them. He even gets them mounted !!!!!! Thats crazy!
