Here you an keep the animal...I've only hit one deer and I had it's t-loin fer supper the followin nite..lol..I hit it in winter in the rear. Lost one rear quarter, but the rest was fine. They say hittin a deer vs. shootin it taints the meat...while i agree it does taste different, if ya let em "bleed out" it aint so bad. At least mine wont.
Frank, you might be right, I'm not sure of who scored it er nothin, but hubby said the base of the horns were big round as a beer can. Hubby might be a yankee, but he aint no exaggerator.
I'm assumin that a road killed deer is legal fer the record books?
I'm usin hole-in-the-horn as my reference.
if they give him a "official" score, I'll post it..I aint real good at judgin no deer.
