Around here the bald eagles are usually among the first to work on a dead deer, they don't care how it died, the worse it stinks a looks the better. Drove by a road kill the other weekend there were 5 eagles sitting on it, the crows were about 20 yards away but wouldn't get any closer. It was fun to watch for a few minutes. Funny that the eagles seem to love the dead dear, but won't touch a dead coon or skunk. The crows love those, the more rank the better.

Yeah thats a shame, a buck gets that close to being a shooter and is lost, it will take 3 years to replace that buck where as he would have been a stud in 2 more years had he lived......Good luck....Hb

If I shot it 3 years ago with an arrow from
10 yards away, it would have been a trophy
then . There's not any particular age or
antler size that constitutes a "trophy "
Free ranging deer can die at any time from
various diseases or parasites, from poaching
or helluvit shooters, road kill, natural predation,
from fighting, from any number of things.
