Crazy day (last Sunday, getting this posted later). I shot a buck with my muzzle loader the last night of that early season. I could not find him in the tall grass so I went back the next morning. I found where he had died about 75 yards from where I shot him but coyotes had left only a front foreleg and a pile of hair. I looked that morning and most of the next day but never recovered the buck, never found any more of him. I got aggressive today and went deeper into that area to see if I could catch deer moving during daylight on their way to feed. Its a tough spot to get in without being spotted, a small creek in an area that’s mostly grass. On my way in I found the remains of my buck 700 yards over a hill from where I looked for him. Sad it played out that way, but really excited to recover the rack. Old 9 point 19.25” inside spread and 162” gross. Got him tagged and now its time to shoot coyotes! Heard 8-12 sound off while deer hunting Thursday.
