Went hunting and came home with a dog named "Buck"
« on: December 21, 2010, 04:54:52 PM »
 Sunday was the last day of our second shotgun season here in Ohio and I chose to brave the cold one more time. The morning started off at 2 degrees and we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground still. Early in the hunt I had 4 does come by me on a ridgetop on a southern Ohio farm. I took the shot with my muzzleloader and after the smoke cleared I went after my deer. I saw a deer covered in snow but knew it wasn't mine but I went to investigate anyway. I found a beautiful 130" buck with 8 points and a large area on his side chewed up by coyotes. Then all at once I noticed a tiny puppy curled up in the snow next to the dead deers belly . He was shivering and had ice caked on his fur almost 2 inches thick. Needless to say he stunk like the insides of the deer he had been surviving on for a few days , but I picked him up and held him to melt the ice on him anyway. I carried him the half mile back to my vehicle and fed and watered him. We are good buds alraedy . I brought him home and have already found a good home for him . I knew right away that this little boy had to be named " Buck " ! He would have surely frozen if left out one more night or eaten by the coyotes that alraedy claimed this deer. This has really put me in the Christmas spirit ! Thanks for reading the story of my Christmas buck !

That's amazing . Just the fact the coyotes hadn't already ended his days , plus not freezing to death .

 My hat's off to you Bob .

 Did you get the doe ?

That is a tough little fellow! You really did a fine deed saving that little bugger. He deserves a great life. I really get peeved at people that drop those innocent animals off in the wild!
