well that sucks you found him dead, but at least you found him and have his rack to keep. Id say thats much better than not ever seeing him and wondering what happened or where he went. id say by those pictures he is 4.5.

Any idea what killed him?
From where I found him, he could've been shot from the road or a neighboring property. I suppose he could've been hit by a car as well. He was lying right in the middle of a trail that went through a thicket. I hadn't walked the trail since last year, but I have stands at either end of it. I started to see an abundance of coyotes shortly after I took the video, but I attributed that to another road-killed buck a couple hundred yards from where I discovered this guy.

That stinks but at least you know he's dead instead of wondering when next season comes around and you don't see him or get any pics. Will make a cool euro mount.

God brought him home to you for a reason. Honor the memories you have of him the most fitting way you see possible. Glad to see you found him. You've got the pics, the rack and the memories. Neat story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

All of my trail cam bucks are dead. I killed but one of them. Happens almost every year. Discouraging!

x2.
You could have killed him and chose not to. I would hang that Euro on my trophy wall with Pride. Glad you found him. Great story.
BTW, I admire your willpower to let him walk. You amaze me sir.
FWIW, Jaw Bone pictures need to be "Straight down" and directly from the side.

Do the tips of his antlers fall in the middle of his nose and eyes? If so I'm going to say 3.5. If just slightly past forward of his eyes I'm going to say 2.5. If the ends line up with the end of his nose 4.5. That's my guess.

Pictures are still a lil blurry but 3.5 at most by jawbone and trailcam pics. Hate that he is dead but at least you have some closure.
