$1,000 REWARD
If you any information leading to the recovery of this deer, please contact me (Anthony Weeaks) $1,000 REWARD will be paid to the person or persons that lead to the recovery of this buck and his antlers. This deer disappeared from our lease October 17, 2019. We have waited until now to use the power of the internet in hopes of getting some finality to the whereabouts of this buck. His 3rd beam and narrow frame are very unique and easily identifiable.
This deer was seen at a particular blind, nearly everyday since the 2017 season. He was believed to score in the 180s to 190s in these photos. Both of his sheds were found from the 2017 & 2018 seasons, and he would have scored in the high 160s as a 10pt with 38in of mass each year. He was extremely regular and did not spook easily. We have walked miles and miles, flown drones, over thousands of acres looking for the skull and remnants of this buck in case he died of natural causes, to no avail. It has been 3.5 months since the last game cam picture was taken, and my gut feeling is the deer was killed.
We have 45,000 acres surrounded by a high fence. The only legal means in which this buck could have been legally harvested by our neighboring pastures would have been to be checked in to the ranch headquarters, as we are a MLD ranch. IF the buck was shot/poached by anyone at anytime, it would have been shot illegally.
An extreme amount of time, patience, and money was spent in helping this deer grow into this rack! Although this is a very secure ranch and poaching is unlikely, I am just hoping the power of the internet can lead to some closure, and help us find this buck.
