Deadheads - Let's see 'em

One of my neighbors found this one today. It was wounded during archery season, by a different neighbor. Was able to get it back to the guy who wounded it.

Whitetail deadhead. Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, South Dakota.

Found on edge of river with spine and bones nearby on bank. I think somebody wounded this buck and it died after moving to water??

Happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Update: The 2025 South Dakota whitetail deadhead that I found while spring turkey hunting is cleaned and already on the wall.

Good luck and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

You must know your way around these sage/breaks country! PM me if you’re near central, I’d appreciate it…

Cause of death on the bigger bull? Sad.

Cause of death on the bigger bull? Sad.

This was after the rut, so assuming it was likely injury or exhaustion. I didn’t investigate too much due to the smell and maggots

Not an everyday find.

Looked like 3 white tail sheds with a small random moose shovel!

We’re going to need a story on that one, and care too. What a bruiser!?!

My son and I found it while shed hunting in February, near some train tracks. I snapped my Achilles tendon on my driver side a few weeks later shed hunting. Jumping across a small half frozen creek. Foot just kinda dangled and I knew it wasn’t good but didn’t know how bad…..Woke up on the side of a creek after having pissed myself

Time to go home ….. limped back to the truck 2 miles and drove home

I was by myself of course …..

I can barely watch a hunting video where guys are crossing a creek now …..

Ruptured mine on the same side in January. How is your recovery going?
