Sad day for me story!

[offtheground]

Well for the last couple years I have been chasing one buck. Some will remember two years ago the story of myself missing this buck. I had only seen him a few times and a couple trail cam pictures. But still felt I was getting closer, one more chance. That was all I was asking! Tag soup was on the menu last year because all I wanted was to take him.

Well last night I recieved a text message around 11pm, my wife woke me up and said that I better get it, might be one of the kids. So I did, it was not that! A guy that I once worked with, his son sent me a picture of a buck that was hit last Friday night by his buddy with in a couple 100 yard of where I have been hunting. And yes I'm 99% sure this is the guy I have been after. Man he has at least two more months in velvet and always worried he would get hit around rut time but was I wrong, June!

well that sucks, but at l;east you know what happened to him, and wasn't hunting a deer that was dead

I lost a few good bucks over the rys to cars, always sucked!

but not as bad as poaching in my eye's

there the worst!

[HANKFAN]

That sucks you don't get the chance to hunt him again this year. Looked like he was going to be a good one!

[Griz]

He looked like a dandy!!. to bad he had to die by been hit by a car , but you know his genetics are around and his brother or son could step out in front of you this fall.

That is a bummer! I was surprised when I seen the pic, I went to high school with your former co-workers son.

man that stinks, i have been worried about the same thing happening with the buck I am hunting because I know he crosses a couple fairly busy roads on a nightly basis. Makes me sick to see the pic. Hope you find another buck just as good to hunt this fall.

Wow, what a shame such a great buck had to go that way!!! Well, at least you know now so you aren't looking for him all fall long.

What a bummer... at least you can be sure he bred some does last fall. I have been seeing tons of fawns this year. I think the mild winter we had has something to do with the survivability of the fawns this year... anyway hopefully in 4 or 5 more seasons one of his sons takes after dad and you get to attach a tag to his antler!!!

[ibppmd]

Sorry, Offtheground. Hopefully his genes are well represented in the area and you find and even bigger relative this fall.

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

I am the kid in the picture you posted. I am just curious to who you are and how i know you lol. Anyways yea my friends and I were heading down 133 to do some frog gigging and that guy ran out and smashed into the side of the truck. No damage was done to the truck at all thankfully and we pulled over and found the deer layying in the middle of the road. We didnt feel like waiting around for the cops to show up so we just went on our way and found out the next day that someone had gotten its head. I sure hope it was you since you seemed to know this deer very well.
