The really really sucks. I identified this deer early as having a world of potential. He was on a strict DO NOT SHOOT list. He was my best 3 year old. He was probably going to be close to a booner as a 4 year old and who knows if he would have hit 5. I am quite upset as I knew exactly where he was living and would not have been that hard to hunt if he kept the same pattern in the years to come. I know this comes with the territory in deer management, it's just disappointing. I haven't scored him, but I did measure his G2's at over 12". (For internet police I called the CO for a salvage tag)
