(Thought I would bring this old thread back up and remind everybody, when your out shed hunting, mushroom hunting or scouting don't forget to check your water spots)
I got off of work this morning and decided to check a couple cams on the way home. There's a slough that is about 3 ft down because of the drought that I decided to check out and glad I did.
Here is what I saw first.
I knew right away what it was but they were out there a ways and I didn't have any waders with me. I got a long branch and after a few try's they broke lose from there muddy grave and I pulled them to the shore.
I called a state trooper friend to see about tags then hauled them out and to a car wash, They were a mess!
They cleaned up real nice!
Man they stink! Like a cross between decaying flesh and the worst marshy muck you could imagine. If this slough wasen't down like it was I never would have found them.
It's a main frame 12pt with two other broken tines and a 11pt. Both are very nice bucks and will go nicely with are collection.
I'm sorry to see them die that way but glad I found them.
