I would like to hear the full story of the hunt on this deer. I have found a couple wounded dead deer over the years (one an arrow in the guts and one a bullet in the guts). Phoned fish and wildlife, they came and looked at both kills and determined that I could keep the horns (and capes). I never heard who shot the bullet buck but I did find out that the arrow buck was shot at 90 yards from a person who had no business shooting that far. I never told him I had the buck and I never felt bad about it. Point is that if I found the OP's buck I would show him if it was an ethical shot, and everything was done to recover it. I would still keep the antlers. But i've heard so many stories on this buck, everything from 110 yard facing away shots and tracking and pushing him for miles, to a good hunt that just had some bad luck. I would like to hear the real story.
