Things are a bit slow here so now here's the reest of the sTory....
We had went up to check the cows and on the way back to the house noticed this buck out in the neighbors wheat stubble. We had also noticed another neighbors soninlaw ramming around on their place, so figured he was trying his hand at antelope shooting again.
Sort of thought something funny about this buck, he looked to be favoring a hind leg. Checking him out in the binoculars it was looking like the other neighbors SIL was up to his usual fantastic marksmanship, it appearred the left rear foot was damaged, and it looked to be fresh as there was plenty of orangish red color where the hoof should be.
I wasn't going to shoot him, but Carol kept saying we better, and if she had a license she would of shot him by now......
So I gets out of the pickup and worked around for a better angle on him, as I got into a kneeling position he started to hobbling away , well I says I'm not wanting to do an Illinois heart shot on him , but I'll bet I can take him in the back of the head.
Here's what was the matter with his foot.
