Morgan county 9pt

[cecil30-30]

I got a call from a neighbor on oct 19th about this deer. He was wanting permission to look for it on my property. He had wounded it with his bow. He never did find it. Low and behold this morning right after day break I caught antlers making its way through the head high black berry patch in my over grown field. I knew right away it was the same deer. Shot him out of my shooting house at about 75 yds. Dropped in his tracks. It appears that he just grazed the deers back. Barely broke skin. Not very wide but pretty good mass and some real good brown tines. First deer out of my shooting house. Should I text him a pic of the deer and give him some closure? I would want to know but I don't want to act like I'm rubbing it in his nose.

I definitely would let him know just for the simple fact that he would know he didn't waste a deer.

Nice buck. Congratulations. Agree with letting the neighbor know.

Yes, I'd let him know that the buck has been taken. Then, see what questions he's got, I'd expect him to be very curious on the details.

He will likely be glad to hear that it was a somewhat superficial wound that didn't cause a long, drawn-out death.

Great buck btw buddy!

Nice buck! Years ago I had a similar situation where someone wanted to track wounded buck on my property. I let them, but they didn't find the buck. After that, I kept seeing that buck, he had broken front shoulder or front leg. I could see where he was shot, and the placement looked good, but somehow he survived it. He was a nice 10 pt, but somehow I couldn't bring myself to shoot him. I felt bad for him and kept rooting for him to survive. He would bed close to food and not travel, trying to recover. Over several weeks I got within 15 yards of him a number of times. I talked to him and I think he realized I wasn't a threat. I don't know if he survived the winter.

Let him know. My youngest son shot good buck on juvenile that we never found. Just a few drops of blood for about 30yds. Both my sons killed 10pt a yesterday within 5 mins apart on same farm. The wide deer on left is the one that was shot last weekend on juvenile hunt. Very proud of them!
