Neighborhood buck dead

[Twabbis]

I saw this buck and another buck and some does just behind my house on the way to the store the other day. On my way home from the store this buck was laying there dead, bleeding from the neck. I called the fish and game and they came and determined he was gored by the other buck. Pretty crazy

Looks like another covid death...

Looks like he didn't go quickly, judging by the marks in the snow.
Hopefully he got a little before he passed on.

There was a pretty intense blood trail. Tons of blood, I think he took one perfect to the jugular

Easiest tracking kill you ever made. Heck he even fell just yards from the garage. No meat damage from an exit wound. LOL

Crazy the way things work out.

Did they let you keep him?

 

[Founder]

Wow, that's not something that happens in the front yard everyday! Crazy

 

[Twabbis]

Did they let you keep him?

I honestly didn’t even think to ask until a few hours later and they had already taken it somewhere to dissect it and just make sure they didn’t find anything suspicious. I didn’t press the issue too hard

“One shot, one kill” ain’t got nothing on me!

Most people driving by probably just figured that deer to be another unlucky roadkill

Wtf is wrong with you man?

 

[MG209]

Lmao at all the responses here!

Lmao we don’t have the time or space here for me to get into that question! But I could t have got him in my freezer right now even if I tried. But I do wish I’d have thought about getting it for someone that could use it

Nature can be cruel. This is what all the tree huggers don't see or even bother finding out about.

 

[CatfishKev]

100% joking. Crazy story all around

Exactly. People who think we shouldn’t kill animals with guns or bows don’t understand the brutality of real nature. This is really one of the more pleasant way for a deer to die.

did they let you keep the meat

 

[Muleman1]

Crazy how brutal them fights can get

 

[Twabbis]

did they let you keep the meat

No, I don’t have room for it anyways. I wish I would’ve thought to ask to get it for someone I know that could use it though

I came across a buck a few years back same thing he had been stuck by another buck at first it looked like a gun shot wound but no exit wound and no bullet inside DWR called it a rut fight death.

 

[Joe2Kool]

Yep. Very interesting. Mother nature can be cruel. Seen several YouTube videos - grizzlies attacking elk, two mule deer bucks fighting to the death. The list goes on and on.

Thanks for sharing.
