Poacher!

Remember the deer earlier this month that had the unfortunate accident?

Well, it seems it wasn't an accident.

I found a second dead deer on our property.

The carcass was covered with logs & sticks

and appeared to have been dragged to the location.

It had a small hole in the neck,

possibly from a gunshot or arrow.

Its obvious that the logs are deliberately stacked on the deer.

Possibly the person who did this has already taken his allotment of antlered deer

or killed these deer out of season

and they were just used for target practice.

What a shame that the meat was not used and

both of these young bucks, if allowed to live,

would have had even larger racks next year.

Such a waste.
