Finally found this old photo. The buck on the left shows a healing would that I know it received three weeks prior to this photo.
He got the wound from a woman shooting at a distance of about 125yds. with a .308. She happens to be one of those who think using a big(ger) caliber will somehow compensate for her lack of skill and and uncaring attitude. She and her husband (an '06 user with the same attitude) were on our lease for five years and both of them wounded and lost at least three deer for everyone they brought to bag. A few times I went out to their stand and tracked down deer they had shot and hadn't even bothered to go look for - and they were actually p-ssed at me because it forced them to use tags on deer they didn't want. They were finally invited to not return to the lease because of the number of deer they were wasting and their "couldn't-care-less" attitude.
If you look close you can see the entrance point (of the 3-wk-old shot) on the buck's right side - it shows as a small white patch. The exit wound is obviously that ghastly, scabbed-over blotch on the deer's left side.
The wound visible on the neck near the head is the exit wound of the .243 87-gr. BTHP that dropped it in its' tracks from about 170yds. a couple hours before the photo was taken.
