This afternoon I was outside and spotted this big brown thing out in the field and as I walked closer I could tell it was a buck that was alive yet unable to get up. I called a family friend who is a game warden and he came out and put it down. Both back legs were broken; indicating he had been hit by a car and he had bled a lot already and was probably in shock. Nice 8 point buck, 4 years old that was a pain in the ass hauling from the barn to the grass. The field was very muddy and had just been tilled so driving out there wasn't the wise thing to do. I am beat, my leg muscles are still spasming.
If that had been my brother who found it, he would be wishing he'd been hunting and shot it. He can only dream of getting an 8pt-er.
