    Well it always sucks to see a good deer go like that, mother nature has its way
    I found a small dead spike yesterday too, 2 inch antlers, no camera on me and just left it where it was
    finding skulls, always makes me wonder the story of what really happened?
    Be it a wound from a fight, a hunter/poacher, hit by a car? Coyotes? Fell
    just gets the wheels turning for me when I find one

    Well that sucks
    any chance you know the guys that hunt there? Maybe can ask about, and even maybe give them the rack, might be a kids first, that got away
    check with your odcnr first, believe you have to get a permit/tag for dead skulls?

    Finding dead deer after the season is always a bummer but its the natural way of things. Blackbeard I hope he passed his genes around.

    More bad news. Found another dead buck on my property this morning, a decent 8 pt. Same situation, all the hair still left on the skull and the skull was still attached to the rest of the spine. I remember hearing the coyotes yelling from the exact location I found this buck about 2 months ago, right down the hollow from my house. This sucks.

    Hate to see good bucks like that. We found one of our funky bucks a month or so ago too. Was really looking forward to seeing what he turned into this next season. Such a disappointment, especially not knowing how they die.

    I was talking to a BIG time coyote hnter here a few weeks ago, and he told me prime coyote peld are bringing 80+ bucks each??
    that's the higest I ever heard of them, told me so far this yr(2014) he killed over a 115
    has like 8 dogs trained to hunt them, and hunts with a group of like 6-8 guys every weekend and ay off he gets??
