Things you don't see every day

The first thing I noticed about this buck was he only had one eye. I figured he lost it in a buck fight. As I skinned his head for mounting I found out differently.
I saw this just sticking through the bone so I got my plyers and started pulling. 
That is what’s left of a broadhead and arrow shaft that went right through the eye socket perfectly. I also noticed something in his neck. 
you can see the infected dished out spot in his neck where I found a bullet just under the skin. 
Neither of these shots brought this animal down. It was a lung shot that brought him to me. I don’t know whether this buck was lucky to survive being shot twice. Or unlucky for being shot at least 3 times. One thing you have to say is they are a very very tough animals. 
cdavis it amazes me how tough they are. I saw a buck that had a broadhead in the bottom chamber muscle of the heart. It was incased by muscle. It never totally pierced the heart. It had been shot two years before by the buddy of the guy that got it!

I can’t remember if I shared this or not. I took it a couple of years ago while turkey hunting.
The “turkey” in the foreground seems to have been adopted by the group.
There is also a second one in the back ground with only it’s head and tail visible.
processhead Unreal!

processhead Probably the turkey family’s own private security group!

processhead I have a neighbor about 4 miles from me that lost his 2 peacocks to a group of turkeys. They’ve been with them 3 years now and still surviving. Thanks for the awesome picture.

cdavis a good reminder that the head isn’t the best shot I guess? processhead Oh my god that is hilarious WHERE in Nebraska (i think thats where you are?) are there wild peacocks? If you dont want to share, or if this was out of state hunt dont have to share obviously.

processhead We used to have a couple peacocks here that ran with the turkeys. Unfortunately, I think the coyotes got them. Unfortunately the turkeys have multiplied.

Well, that’s debatable… But I digress, back to deer hunting!
