Thread: Anyone lose their pet Deer?

How would you know? You spent the night somewhere else!

One of my buddies in Montana worked for Fish and Game many years ago. They put collars on a lot of deer, including a MONSTER muley. His collar was green with white triangles. The muley bedded in a jumbled rock pile on a mountain top. My buddy told one of our other buddies right where to find the big buck. He put the sneak on the bedding site, trying to not "click" a rock. He got right on top of the old boy. It jumped up right in front of him. He whipped up his gun, seeing only some green with white triangles through his scope. One bounce, and the old boy was over the rock lip and gone. A lot of people hunted him for several years, but he died of natural causes, with the collar still on his neck.
