Well....

[G-Man]

Well my friend shot a beautiful 8pt today and while coming back from town I saw what I thought was a deer laying in a neighboring field, so I call him tell him I think I found your buck!! He told me no he just gutted his, I said well there is a dead 10 point here.. upon closer examination I see a 30 cal hole in it, so call to dec made, lots of reports ,and long story short I got to keep the meat, but dec took head, and cape for evidence. While capeing it we found the bullet.more evidence..

Nail the SOB.

[growalot]

why that never happens...

 

I hope they catch the a hole

[VT Outfitter]

Any chance that the found 10 point was legally taken but the hunter lost the blood trail and wishes whole heartedly that they could find him?

[CFHunter]

Unless it is in the northern zone, the bullet makes it illegal.

What a shame that's a beautiful buck, at least the meat will be used.

[Red]

he sure was a dandy. I hope the scumb that did it tells some one about it and they report his a$$

[jjb4900]

how long after he was killed did you find him, still fresh? oh, and did they issue you some type of tag for it?

Did the right thing here.  Enjoy the meat.  I had to kill a deer that a trepasser shot a few years back that was wounded.   

[grampy]

To bad some scumbag poacher stole that beautiful buck from a real hunter. Glad that you were able to keep the meat though. And you did the right thing. Hope with the evidence, the catch the low life, eventually.

They should have left it thier and set up a sting!   This way when they come back at night to get it, they are caught red handed!

That really sucks!  Such a beauty taken by a poacher!  And people wonder why we hate them so much.

[G-Man]

Was still warm no meat loss though it was starting to bloat from its full belly, dec came pretty quick and hope the lead pans out to get the jerk responsible

142 lbs with hide and head off... lots of meat ...

I'm happy you're going to use the meat.

Yes got two tags for it a red evidence tag, and then a receipt for the release of said evidence for comsumption,

Body was still warm but had cool considerably to maybe 80 degrees, stayed with the deer till I was given ok to gut and remove it , then officers met at my house to examine and took to kill site to examine

[genesee_mohican]

Hard to understand why someone would shoot the deer and just leave it there.

[growalot]

probably pushed of by a car....any mention of someone hearing the shot?....Of course if it's like around here there are shots all the time...especially dusk and dawn...I just hope that it's yotes and raccoons.....Shotguns right now are far off and I know it's the fowl hunters ...I can sit in 3 different stands and see the length of Hemlock lake now...they have been busy there and  the Conesus inlet...

[GreeneHunter]

That just gives Hunter a bad name !  Glad to hear your making use of the meat !

[G-Man]

Well as agent was at.my.house, he got a call from a guy that wanted to pick up a carcass tag for road killed deer (in the exact location I remove the buck from 3 hours earlier) agent smiled and said I guess I'll have to talk to him a little later... hoping it was the guy or friend of guy that got put up to getting the deer his buddy hit....

[catskillkid]

That sucks
