    Casualty of the Rut?

    I went to check my stock tanks today and this is what I found in one of them. I made an attempt to get him out. Stripped down to my underwear, put on some old shoes and tried to get to him. I was 10 feet away and the water was up to my waist....about that time I said screw it. Click image for larger version

          You were already up to your waist, should have gone ahead and got it out

          I don't think I would leave one in my tank/pond

            I am high fenced and can account for every deer that has been shot this year. Although you are correct, I once found a doe that had been gut shot in this very same stock tank. I was able to recover her.

              That sucks. Being high fenced, do you know what deer it was?

                I don't yet but given my luck it is probably one of my better bucks. I ordered a big treble hook from Amazon and it is supposed to be here by Friday. I should know shortly thereafter.

                  By Friday, it should be washed up to the bank with the wind that is forecasted tomorrow. Or it will have already went to the bottom.

                  Any hook should do. just slowly pull and it will float on over.

                    Can you get a small boat/canoe/kayak in there? Tie a rope to it, go back to the bank and pull it in.

                            My MIL asked me that one day when i came back from hunting and she was at my house.
                            There was a long blank stare... then I told her i didn’t have time to fish.
