It has been there for a while. Middle of nowhere. Found match close by. Think he had unbalanced head and solved the problem....

Been asked on the details. Glassed him up at almost 2 miles in his bed. Saw white patch (his face) in a mtn side Cholla patch. Hauled butt down mountain to get a better look. He wasn't there 30 minutes later. Finally found him up and feeding away from me. Saw he was headed up to a saddle.

Descended (ran) 300 feet down, then 400 feet up to try to beat him to saddle. He beat me by 20 seconds. I watched him feed away at 90 yards, just out of my range.

I watched him feed over another small saddle 200 yards from me until he went over the lip. I then hauled (quiet walk/trot) over to the lip. Found him. Ranged him. Shot him at 75 yards. He never knew I was there as he died even. When the arrow hit him he made a growl exactly like a coyote. Ran 80 yards, looked back uphill, face planted. Dead in 10 seconds. Heart shot at 75 yards. Shuttle T head.

Way to go Greg, and congrats on getting a great buck on the ground the hard way. Nice shootin' too bud. You earn everything you kill, and this is a great example.

heck of a buck and shot. Glad he held still. A whitetail here would have been through the next saddle by the time the arrow got to them.

I used to shoot out to 100 in the 80s quite a bit. Then realized with our deer I needed to shoot inside of 20 mostly. LOL.

Really cool find on the shed too! I'd have been someone stuck it there, but then you mention the other shed and probably not.

WOW! I can see how that would distract you from shed hunting! Great buck and even better shot. Congratulations!

That's neat as hell.

I found one once in the crook of a tree 3 feet off the ground. It must have been bumped by the tree as the deer was feeding on the twigs and landed in the crook without falling all the way to the ground.
I guess someone else may have put it there then forgot about it, but suspect my first thought is correct.
