This huge buck was killed in Harrison City. But....carefully study said picture and provide your thoughts as to what seems to be out of place with it?

Then, in this second picture, see if you can identify the tagger of said deer:

PS...I have no idea who the tagger is, but I know exactly where said deer was killed, and how.
Wakefield??? :p
Photo chopped doe?
Did he shoot his dick off? It's the only blood I see...
You have sunlight? We haven't seen much lately. Looks like a pretty nice day when that was taken. When was this?
Looks like another set of antlers on the left side of the 2nd picture nearly even with the guys elbow.
Looks like a doe with a 'skull-cap' kit.
Looks like it's on a lawn and not a field/woods.
That's what I noticed.
Is that who I think it is? I'll let him identify himself if he so chooses.
Exactly. It looks like a set of handle bars going across the head.Quote:

#4--There is still another oh so very obvious item that I know you are overlooking. It's so simple that you just don't look for it. I did the same thing.
Dave
PS...Shisno has sort of hinted at it......
eyes look like its's been dead for a minute.
Shemale?
If it was taken in that exact spot it was taken very close to a home or similar structure based on the shadow cast by same.

Shisno has hinted at the next obvious "matter" or "item" that if you look at most photo's of bow season kills, you notice what is missing in this photo. I'll drop one of the obvious items....and that is "where's the bow or crossbow?" Most bow hunters put the "instrument of kill" in the photo. But this photo lacks that.
However, there is still one glaring matter missing. Look at the deer. What don't you see?
Dave
Ok, was it killed by an alien penis trap? For Christ sakes, tell us WTF you are talking about before i go crazy.
I didn't care much when i first read the thread but the suspense is killing me...
Any entry or exit wound?
behind the shoulder kinda looks like it was hit by a car.
Piss glands (or what ever they are called) are missing.
My point was to call attention to the PA Safety Zone of 50 yards for Bow hunters.Quote:

The tag isn't properly attached! It appears to be just laying there, so it can be reused. JOB#1 after the kill, AFFIX the tag to the ear.
Looks like a 'squatch ripped it's balls and dick off.
DING!...DING!...DING!....DING!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! I said "What is missing?" And what is obviously missing is an entrance or exit wound. And yes...I know...you can argue said buck was hit on the other side and the arrow never did a pass thru. True....but seriously, how many times does this happen? (I'm not going to argue or discuss this point).Quote:

As the "story" goes....this big boy was chasing a doe...and he crossed the road and was in fact hit by a car. But the buck kept on going. However, sometime later the buck decided he wanted to cross back over the road, and when the big buck did this...he was hit by car #2 and then turned back to the house where he dropped in the front yard and died.
So...."Enter" the cammo clad fellow in the pic. This guy calls the PGC and ask them what it cost to keep said buck....rack and all. When he found out what it would cost to keep the rack.....he just slapped his tag on it.....and said...."this is my buck."
That's my understanding from a very reliable source.

Its like 10 bucks a point so i'm told.
I think it is $5/point. If so that's still pricy for road kill. Depending on how busted up it is you may not get much meat but you won't know until you open him up.Quote:

This would be an appropriate companion for that wall hanger...

Back in the spring one evening I was riding my motorcycle on Boxcartown Rd in the Harrison City area and that sure looks like a buck I saw standing on the left side of the road in a field. Quite a rack on him!
This buck was killed (when hit by the second car) when attempting to cross back over the road onto the property owned by the Harrison City Fire department. Where the FD has their picnic area. Apparently the buck got hit by the car, was spun and went up to the residence and died in the front yard.
It's too bad a vehicle ended it's life instead of a archery hunter. OTOH, I know from living in this area there is a good gene pool for large rack bucks. I'm sure this big guy has passed on his gene's to other doe's this year and in previous years. More to come from this area.
FWIW
Dave
If some hunter shot my dick off,I would want to die too !
Soon they will have their revenge!!!!

It would be a real bitch to be shot by a doe. Your "Obituary" woul read...Killed by a leaf eating brown eyed very hairy wicked nailed female".
It looks like the same buck in the same area I almost hit in October. I was on my motorcycle on that road that runs alongside St. Barbara church to that credit union that is across from Giant Eagle, the detour while the bridge was closed. It was after dark and I had no time to react/brake.Quote:

It takes more than just good genetics to grow large deer, Pa has good genetics for the most part. What Pa lacks is the hunters mindset to "let them go, let them grow". I know plenty of hunters that will shoot the first thing they see, and this is the mindset of most Pa hunters. It's obvious by the size of that deer that the potential is here, they just need to live for 4 1/2+ years, but they don't in most places.Quote:

From 1995-2002 I shot 4 bucks in Pa during archery and 3 were 3 1/2 and 1 was 4 1/2, all were taken in northern butler county on property that got decent hunting pressure during gun season, but not enough pressure that the bucks are starting to get through the season more often and live longer, which was not the case when I first starting hunting there. A big buck years ago was a basket racked 1 1/2 year old 8 point that field dressed at 120#'s. All 4 of my bucks were over 220#'s live weight.
I'm pretty sure....well more than pretty sure that the buck you saw near St. Barbara was a different one. Could have been the same.....but late summer under an apple tree before you get to the "Crafty Shack" my wife and I were going out to Rt 22 and I saw a massive rack buck under that apple tree. He was still in velvet and he was a freight train of a deer. Again...could have been the same buck given the distance.....But my guess was they were different. The buck near the Crafty Shack was no where near as high of a rack. Still....a shoulder mount none the less.Quote:
