Dandy buck /Cruel death

[Slim]

I found this bruser with my son while shed hunting in march. It looked like he was shining antlers and got hung up in the brush and that is where he died.

I have a august photo of him while in velvet. I wondered what had happend to him, I had 3 other bucks on that same role that went 130 to 140 and I had the opportunity to see all of them. Mother nature can be cruel sometimes.

That was a dandy, too bad he had to go that way. Would have been much more fun seeing him thru the sights on your bow, or thru the leupold mounted on a slug gun

Sounds like you have some nice bucks coming into their prime, good luck later this year.

Man he really got tangled up! Looks like a great buck, nice mass. Neat photos.

That has to be a freak occurance. I have heard of, and seen serveral with a leg tangled in fences or antlers in fences...but natural vegetation?

Nature is not painless for sure and what a way for a nice buck to go.

Hate to see them go that way. Wild find and great pics. That is a first for me.

Seen a photo very similar to this years back taken by a friend. Definately a rare occasion. Bought like a beaver dropping a tree on it's self.
