Shot or Not?

[splitfinger]

Found this nice buck dead in the ditch this afternoon about 1/2 mile from my home. Looks like a bullet in the side but could be from a Buzzard, as they were all over him. Such a great loss for an area with so few deer, much less big bucks.

What say you??? Shot or Not?

Could be shot.
Could be poked by car emblem.
Could be pecked by buzzard.

Shot

roll him over and look for an exit

Hard to tell. I’m leaning towards hit by car since that left side of his horns looks skinned up like road rash or something hitting it

In his present state of condition, I'd rather not. I call my local GW and he is coming out to check on it, not that it would matter at this time.

Not, if redneck would have shot him that close to the road and he fell right there redneck would be eating back straps...

Maggots could have caused that hole. Call Warden if concerned.

[Etxnoodler]

Not

My first reaction is that he was hit by a car because the one antler is all beat up and broken.
