Russell-W Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Hi everyone. My son Ezra has a youth hunt going on in 36B and on Sunday I glassed up this ol boy across the canyon. We think he may of died back during the fires due to smoke? But we are excited to find him on the Sopori Ranch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Based on his chalk white horns I'd guess he's been dead a few years. Awesome find!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azslim Report post Posted November 21, 2011 I agree, he's been dead a while. My WAG is wounded by a hunter, lots of times the muzzle is crushed in a lion kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russell-W Report post Posted November 22, 2011 It could be a wounded buck..... the hide and hair is still there and it is still real ripe smelling and the horns are very hard and fresh but are lighter colered....... the camera did make them look alot whiter than they really are! If it was a couple years old would the insides be completely dried out? This guy still has some fresh stinky morseles in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THOR Report post Posted November 22, 2011 Based on his chalk white horns I'd guess he's been dead a few years. Awesome find!! Great find find! if the head was in the sun i would bet wounded in October or killed by a lion. If his nose is busted I would call it a lion kill. If it was in the shade I would say january or some time before they drop. Great buck...lets here a score! Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 nice buck. he's been dead at least a year. probably 2. takes a long time for the hide and hair and to go away. no way to tell what killed it. pretty much speculation. nice buck tho. Lark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
