RE: Have you ever found someone else's dead deer?
I have found multiple deer before. Some make you mad and some are just plan bad luck.
last year me and a buddy were hunting my farm and a guy on the property next door who has hunting permission gut shot a button buck and left it, the deer ran and laid down under my friends stand. MY friend finished it off. I got there and took the deer next door, the dude was in his truck getting ready to leave. He said i gut shot the deer and didnt think i would be able to find it. The ass didnt even look,and he was using a 30-06and deer only went a 100 yards. We watchedhim!! I had tohave a long talk with the landowner, this guy shot my barn in muzzleloader season, and i cought him on my property twice- some people are bad seeds, others just have bad luck that day.

Two of the biggest deer I have were found, both were a pile of bones. One was foundin the springwhile turkey hunting and the other was during bow season. I asked the neighbor who knows everything about everybody and he hadn't heard of any one losing a deer so I kept it.If I knew who shot it I would have given the rack to them.

I've found three, not fresh, but within a couple of days on my own property. I suspect neighbors pushed them over and just gave up. That's over a nine year period.

I have found some skeletons of deer on the public land in the area while scouting in the late winter. One was a nice 3.5 yr. old 10 pointer. Found a doe on our farmthat my cousin had shot the night beforeduring our gun season.His brothergot ahold of him and hecame and tagged it.

I have found quite a few dead deer. Some were shot by other people (poachers and legal hunters alike), some were just piles of bones.
I haven't ever found any that were still fresh though.

RE: Have you ever found someone else's dead deer?
I found a buck last year at the beggining of November that looked to be a 2.5 yr old that had been skull capped. It had been shot right behind the shoulder so It couldnt have possibly went far from where it had been shot, so I hope that it was left to waste just because it wasn't "big enough" and they didn't want to waste their tag. But I always finds deer next to the train tracks by our house that have been hit, never see big bucks hit though.
