Mother Nature keeps throwing punches.

It's hard trying to grow good deer. We got rid of two guys last year that couldn't pass good young deer. Then we got hit with the drought this summer. Our deer numbers and antlers are way down. We as a group decided to just about take the year off. Several members on the lease have not shot a single deer this year. Yesterday one of our members went to fill feeders and found these two locked up and dead. So frustrating! One of them is a split brow 10pt that we were letting grow. Feels like Mother Nature is kicking us while we are down.

We are going to do a Euro mount with them locked up and hang it in camp.

Fighting over poontang gets several every year.

That's a crying shame. Makes me feel better about all the ones I've seen this year with broken racks.

Hate to see that. That’s a rough deal all around right there.

Could have kept the 2 guys on with the same results, but better off in the long run.

Man that’s a gut punch. Hopefully things turn around for y’all.

She’s harsh at times bud. It has been a tough year. Great you guys have the discipline to not shoot for a season.

That stinks but likely you’ll see trespasser bucks set up camp on your place now that some threats are gone

That stinks. Mother Nature is a harsh one for darn sure.

Bad news for sure, but keep feeding and managing.
