Well as most of you guys seen this year my brother and I were hunting a giant with a bunch of kickers and a pretty good drop tine. My brother had gotten pictures before me on a new spot he picked up. After trying to get a game plan on him I picked up a property about half mile away where I thought he was staying first night the camera was out I got a picture of him on a ground scrape. I was right about him staying in that area but that would be the only pictrures I got of him. My brother had an encounter with him later that week chasing a doe and couldn't get a shot at him. Gun week came and we hunted him hard and never laid eyes on him again. My brother got the call today from a friend that he seen the game warden and a Amish guy on the property that he hunts dragging at giant buck head out. Turns out he was hit by a car and died on the edge of the property. My brother was just there yesterday and parked on the back side to check his camera if he would of went to the main entrance he would of found him. I was about half sick to my stomach. I know he is crushed. Its hard to believe we get that attached to a deer.lol. the game warden gave us the Amish guys address and said he thinks he may sell it because he didn't know what he had just knew it was a big deer. We may never have an opportunity to hunt another buck of this caliber but it was damn fun while it lasted.

Dang It Man! Sorry to see him go out like this. If you want him, I hope the fella parts with it. Offer him some Marlboro's and Budweiser. He'll probably go for it.

Sorry to hear! Even worse that he was found by an Amish guy. Rick, I doubt the Marlboro and Budweiser offer will work. So how did this Amish guy have permission to be on the property?

The Amish guys was riding down the road and seen it off the side of the road. But no my brother is the only one with permission to be in there.
 
That sucks. Always wonder when some deer "disappear" how many of them die of natural causes, vehicle accidents, etc and we never know about it. I guess one positive is that you won't be spending all of next fall trying to find a buck that was dead.
