found my brother's November 10 pt

[Jaahspike]

He thought he completely missed this deer. We never found any blood and when he went and shot it he was off big time. Not sure what happened but it was very nice to find it still in good shape. Never like an animal going to waste though. He is getting it mounted so we are excited.

Gut shot. Sucks y'all lost the meat. Be sure to tag it.

that sucks, glad you found it, but dang. Looks like the nose is in good shape so you can make a good euro mount

 

[Jaahspike]

Thanks Cat and Chief....we have a good friend that killed a nice buck that just decided he was not going to mount his buck so he is giving it to my brother to use. This friend is also the one who found my brother's buck when we were shed hunting. My brother called the taxidermist and asked what he needed to do and he went ahead and tagged it. Question...does it count as a regular buck tag for last year or is there a special kind of tag for this type of situation?

Probably post that questions in the Twra forum

Glad ya'll found it!

Glad you found

 

[Bone Collector]

Glad y'all found it. Sucks it went to waste, but it looks like it will work out for the taxidermist.

Glad you found it, sorry it didn't happen sooner

Nice deer! better late than never.

I would at least notify your local GW. Congrats on finding him!!

 

[Rob R.]

That was a nice one for sure. I'm glad you found it.

Nice buck glad you found it.

 

[Big JWC 50]

Glad you found it

 

[Jaahspike]

Thanks to everyone. He was instructed to call twra and find out exactly what he had to do to stay legal so that is what he did. He was in shock for several days after we found it and didn't get really excited until the last couple of days when the shock wore off He is so pumped now!!!

Sucks to waste one like that but atleast he now has the antlers!

 

[Poleaxe]

That's great but I wouldn't waste to much time getting in touch with them. If they don't return your call tag it and let them call you. I bet he'll be on cloud nine til he gets it back.

 

[mike243]

you tag 1 this time of year I promise somebody will get in touch lol, great deer ,

 

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

doesnt look like it has been dead that long

 

[Inkstainz]

Good looking mount. Congrats on finding it

 

[bowriter]

I kinda have my doubts that deer died in Nov. I would have liked to see the rest of the carcass.

 

[double browtine]

Bad shots happen sometimes and this happens. Limb could have deflected it too. Glad he found it though.

 

[Locksley]

Be sure to tag it.Congrats on finding it

 

[Jaahspike]

It is tagged now. Thanks guys for all the responses.

I have my doubts that deer died in Nov. The hair would not be in that good of shape. It's more likely he expired in the last few days or weeks and survived the initial wound.

Congrats on finding it never the less.
