Now, the rest of the story. Doodle hit a point below a sorghum field. Walked in expecting a rooster, when this guy raised his head up. Was immeadiately worried that it might go after me or the dog, before I realized it was hurt. It was youth deer gun season, plus bow season was in, and assumed the buck had been wounded and couldnt get up. From the looks of things, it must have been there all night. It tried to get up, but it's hind quarters seemed paralyzed.
I could have finished it off with the 20 ga loaded with 6's, but walked back to my truck to grab the Walther P22. I had a crossbow in the truck and a buck tag, so legally I could have put it down with the crossbow and tagged it. Really didnt want to have to say I got this unique buck by walking up to it at 6 feet and putting a bolt in it, plus I doubted that the meat would be any good at this point . At the truck, a father and son came by on a quad, and the boy was hunting the youth season. I showed them pictures of the deer, and the young boy was excited to take it. I led them back to the deer, and the boy put it down.
There was no evidence of a gun or arrow wound, or from fighting, so I believe it had been hit by a car and ran until it dropped there and couldnt get up. I had seen this deer several times this year and would have taken him in a heart beat during deer season. It also has a unique "unicorn " point.
I did shoot at 2 roosters today and got both.
