Guys, this fallow escaped his high fence 14 months ago. I did everything I could to help the owner get it back. During this time I was well within rifle range many times. After several weeks the previous owner told me to go ahead and kill the deer if I get the chance. As you can imagine the deer disappeared. Tracked him on camera until December and he quit showing up. I figured he left the place and was shot. About a month ago I spotted him running away as I drove into a pasture. Tried to hunt him unsuccessfully for two weeks. Finally he showed back up on camera and I pulled out all of the stops. I got him yesterday morning. Instead of driving into the area where he was hanging out, I walked in. I caught him slipping up and was able to kill him. I am really excited about this because I would never spend the money to kill an exotic of this caliber.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Thank you sir. I do my best to be a good neighbor. In my experience doing the right thing seems to pay off.

Beautiful deer. Question: How were you going to get it back in the high fence?
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

The owner intended to dart it. I had a few questions but he said it knocks then down pretty quick. If it made it into the brush on my place he never would have found it.
