I'll post up another pic, but this buck was laying in the middle of the creek on our property. At first we thought maybe a hunter got it (with a bad shot), and couldn't find it, or maybe wasn't able to go into the creek and retrieve it. Once we pulled it out with a strap and ATV, we noticed its hip was busted up. So we figured it got hit by a vehicle, ran off, and later died in the creek. It wasn't there the day before so it happened sometime later in the evening. Unfortunately, it was pretty stiff by the time we found it so it was probably a bit too late to get any meat off of it.
