Whitetail Road Kill

I finally got a hold of some pictures of this buck....

It was a road kill near my house just before Christmas last year.

13 points - 24" inside spread.

Wow, helluva buck, too bad it went down as a road kill. Is that a salvage tag on it's horns or did the guy tag it with his actual hunting license?

That is a salvage tag from the road patrol... The deer was crossing the road trying to get to a corn field just after dark when it got grilled.

My wife also greased a doe with her car just after gun season last fall - $5500 damage - the deer seem to find her about every 2 to 3 years - luckily the Body shop owner is a friend of mine... saved us a ton (preferred customer I guess).

Wow, is there any paint on the antlers from the car that hit it?

I received this in my email today - not sure how true..or old it is, but nice story anyhow:

Buck found dead in Southern MI, near Clinton in the area of M-52
Buck was found dead by a lady while walking her dog. Called friend to come
and get it out of there before it would start stinking she did not even
notice whether it was a buck or doe. Just wanted it away from her yard.
Friend shows up and is blown away (obviously). Friend does the right thing
and calls other people and police officer to obtain the proper tag to possess
a picked up deer.
Cause of death is unknown, carcass was tore up pretty bad by animals.
Apparently it had been there a while. However, it was only a short distance
from the closest road.
This guy obviously new what he had and took it to the Sheets brothers of
Saline one of them is a CBM scorer. Gross green scores are 253"-258", that
will make this the new state record for Michigan . Boone and Crockett does
recognize picked up deer as records (see Missouri record/all time record).
The most amazing measurement I've heard so far is 29 1/2" inside spread!
