Found Dead

[KentuckyTJ]

Well, was trying to kill this deer this past year. Wanted him out of the herd. Problem solved this afternoon. Teeth were very sharp. I think he was only a few years old.

Darn nice deer tom but can tell he's well peaked antler growth ...what's the verdict?

[bolong]

What part of Kentucky you from, I got some good friends in Mayfield.

It's obvious! The base of his right main beam is spindly.

Just call when you need someone to put their tag on a scrub buck like that

"Problem solved" man I wish I had your problems here!

[Stickbow]

Makes no sense to me.............its a deer....kill him because of his genetics???

[snapper1d]

I am with you Stickbow!!! Horns are pretty but I cant boil them enough to get them tender to eat.I would of culled him only for meat!

'Tis nature's way.  There is no retirement plan or welfare for wild animals.  

Could have been anything from tuberculosis to excessive parasite load to a wound from a hunter.

A pity he was lost; but there is no easy exit for wild animals.

Well because there is a 1/1 ratio on this farm and there are much better options to spread their seed.

[Zradix]

That's awesome!

Fair enough. I've always been interested in what the effects of a 1/1 ratio would be on the rut. I would think stiffer competition would make for a more intense rut. I've never been fortunate enough to experience a 1/1 ratio though.

So wouldnt it be beneficial if there were a couple more bucks to get the big boys out from hiding more to compete and become vulnerable?

Nice find. Most people wont ever see a 1:1 without ALOT of work and some loud Bangs. Especially on free range animals
