Heard a shot early Tuesday morning, the clock on the nightstand showed 6:53. Had me wondering wth was going on out there in mid September.
Wife went for a jog about an hour later and when she returned she handed me a 30.06 casing that was lying on the road near our front pasture, about 40 yards from the driveway.
Fast forward about twenty four hours later and the ravens commenced.
Followed the noise and commotion and about 90 yards from that spent brass was a small 4x4 whitetail buck in the tall grass near the edge of the pines.
We had watched that deer grow over the Summer; two weeks ago had glassed him frolicking around with blood red horns; the little guy seemed to be celebrating losing his velvet. He was a fixture around here, and I figured he'd be killed sometime this Fall.
But completely pissed off seeing that dead buck rotting away and feeding the coyotes.
The only season open for deer is bow, unless the hunter is native American. So that young buck was either poached or native killed and abandoned with zero effort to retrieve him.
I'm f****g livid!
