ccwhitey Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 This past weekend a friend of mine happened to come across the remains of two dead bucks that apperently died and were still locked up. They are both main frame 8's, but one is a 9 and the other is a 11.I'm just dissapointed that we could not get a chance to actually hunt these deer:(.

zippyswamp Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 That really is a shame, my buddy came up on two bucks about three weeks ago. The one was dead (2 1/2 eight point) and the other (3 1/2 ten point) buck was very much alive. His brother was green chopping and saw a deers hind end down in a ditch, and as he was getting closer the deer wasn't moving. When he was next to them he could see that there were two bucks locked together, then went back to get his brother (the shooter) They came back and could see that the smaller of the two was dead. The 10 pt. was throwing the dead deer like a rag doll. He told me at times the live buck was flipping the dead deer right off the ground. Finally after getting into position, he took a shot and finished off the live buck. After it was all over we found that the 8 pt. had a broken neck, the lucky one of the two. They were only locked together no more than a day, because they chop the field each day and there was nothing there the day before. Nature is not always pretty.

ccwhitey Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I was talking to the guy that found them and he was talking to the local game warden so he could get special tags so he could have them mounted. He also said that that warden has only seen 1 other case like this in his twenty some odd yrs. I didnt know it was so rare even tho this was my first time seeing it:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 That's too bad! There is a wildlife area near me that has a mount of two bucks that were found dead locked up. If I ever get back there Ill take a pic of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
