Giant Mule Deer: missing need help!
2 Attachment(s)
Looking for information from anyone who has heard or seen anything about this deer. (Taxidermists?) I shot him on Sept 2nd. But it took me a week to find him. (Almost no blood and waste high grass/brush). When I did find him with my arrow still in the body cavity, someone had already sawed the head off. Please help, I'd just like to see him up close and in person. Surely someone on here has heard something about a deer of this caliber.

What a slob. Hope you get him back!

Rotten situation Jeff! Hope this pans out for you!

Think there was a post on Alberta hunting addicts a while ago about a big deer like this that was found with arrow still in. They were looking to find the owner

If the guy went through the proper process for found dead wildlife, he has just as much, or more right to it than the shooter. If he’s trying to find the shooter to give it to him, he’s a pretty good guy.

Beautiful animal.
Good luck with your search. I hope you find it and get to see it. |

Where was the arrow?

So, if you find a deer with an arrow in it, apply for a found dead permit, and get denied, what happens to the deer then? Do fish and game take it, or is it left to rot? |

I would hope that if I were the poor soul who lost it, someone would do the right thing and see that it was hanging safe and sound in my man cave. Wouldn't you? |

I lost a deer about 6 years ago tracked it over a day and a half. Some other hunters picked me up on the road when I lost the last blood and told me they would call me if they found it. Two days later I get a call, they collected what they could of the deer and had me meet them at their camp. They did a great thing, it was no slouch of a deer. LC |

Lol. Obviously wildwoods is 100% correct ethics wise. Why would one want to keep the head of the deer they refused to give back to the hunter who shot it?
- nice rack! Is there a story to tell? - nice, isn’t it? Yeah, I found it on a deer shot by someone else. Then I saw a guy looking for it but I figured I would just keep it. - oh. Lol. Hope you find it, op. |

Anyway, different strokes for different folks, I guess. |

But I actually feel more saddened for the loss of meat. |

Sorry but If I found it then tough luck it's mine if I wanted to keep it. Nothing wrong with a nice cleaned up dead head in a trophy room.
|
If I found it I'd consider reaching out to find the hunter if it was a regular joe out there flinging arrows around I would probably keep it but after hearing this story the blood, sweat, tears, sore muscles and sunburnt/chapped lips I think I would invite Jeff over for a bunch of beer to personally hand over the antlers to him, and listen to the full sorry of the history with the animal.. just what I would do to be honest. Wouldn't feel right having the trophy in my room when there is a guy out there that gave it his all.

It was 30 across the province all the way up to 510 in the first week of sept, and it usually is more years than not. I know this because I hunt it, every single year. Amazingly, we have these newfangled things called coolers and refrigerators and don't rely on hanging a deer in the garage or shed. I know it must be hard to beilieve for an expert such as yourself, but no meat is wasted. So take your anti hunting bs and stuff it right back where it came from. |
