D*mn that 12 pt can't buy a break. First he kicks a 9 pt's @ss and then the loser gets stuck to him permanently. Then he has to fend off coyotes or whatever trying to eat the remains of the deer that he beat up, while they are still attached to him. Then he goes and gets dropped like a sack of potatoes with a deer rifle.

That is one unlucky dude.

They need to mount the two together.

Wild! Hell that deer may be glad to be dead after having a rotting hunk of meat stuck to him for who knows how long.

Is that David Letterman with the chick?

shortly after this picture was taken, dossag had their lease taken away.

I bet that smelled great!

Do you have to use two tags for that?

Ponder this professors.

The buck that lost the fight had to have died within a few weeks at the most of the date the other buck was shot. All that is left is the head, neck, some hyde and some leg bones. It would have been impossible for the buck to haul around the whole dead carcass. It would have died of exhaustion or broke his own neck eventually. Almost without doubt then, something knawed the rest of the buck away. Likely vultures, maybe hogs I guess. Unlikely coyotes.

that's pretty wild to think that buck probably layed their while something else fed on the dead one.

I assume it was dragged for awhile vs. eaten.

Urban, we used to share a fence with the 7D, not hardly any hogs out there yet, as for the vultures, they leave west Texas usually by the last weekend of October.
