I woke up to find this out my window.
Upon further inspection:
My buddy on the PD said it got hit by a car around 11:30 last night. Couldn't find it. I don't have to go deer hunting this year....

That's a good sized buck. I wonder how much damage he did to that car?

Nice deer. I bagged one using a Ford E250 bullet late one night. Fair amount of damage.

Nice Buck!!! 6X6 OR 5X6?
I only got drawn for 3 skin heads this year. So far one down & in the freezer.
I've never shot a deer with a 22 cal before and one of the tags was in an area that only close shots could be taken. So I grabbed the Tikka .223 with 60 gr Partitians and took #1 with a neck shot at 45 yards. In retrospect I should have grabbed the hardball gun with 230 Hydroshocks.
The other two tags are in the cropland area so longer shots may be necessary. I'll drag out the 7-08 Improved and let her talk the talk.
Beautiful animal, too bad you couldn't have gotten a shot on this one. I'd hang it on the wall.
FWIW

6x6.
I'm getting the skull bleached. I don't think I can mount this one. Even though he's so pretty. I just feel bad about him dying like this.

Maybe you can mount and hang the front end of the car he probably wasted completely next to him on the wall.

Wow!!! What a nice deer. I bet he let some doe in rut get him in trouble. Not so much different from people there.

The guy who hit it had picked up his BRAND NEW Dodge Durango at 5 pm that same night.
Ouch.

That's got to hurt, brand new truck smashed by a buck first night off the lot.

When a truck that new goes to the body shop, you never feel the same about it even if it looks perfect.

Talk about bad luck. Only had it for a few hours and destroy the front end, not a good start.
Mounted!
