Poor bastard

[Wyhunter]

I came across this poor bastard out archery whitetail hunting in wyoming yesterday. Looks like he was trying to get the velvet off and wrapped himself up. Ive been hunting my whole life and easily put over a 100 miles on my boots each year. This is my first legit dead-head

Nature can be cruel. Looks like the coyotes got a bonus meal.

Nature didn't make that effing barbed wire

Agreed, I’ve greatly considered carrying wire cutters and on public land, never raising my leg up again. It’s terrible.

 

[marshman]

Barbwire sucks for sure.

Sad way to go for that poor buck.

Fact of the matter- Congress has mandated grazing on most public lands. Vandalizing things does absolutely nothing to resolve that, and just wastes taxpayer money when someone has to go fix it. Costs to fix vandalism and trash on public lands are not insignificant, and I for one would sure rather see that money spent on habitat work or something useful.

Go comment on the next fencing or grazing EA or management plan if you’re really upset about it. Or call your Congressional representatives.

Barbed wire may suck, but I've seen a lot more deer caught on woven wire. Woven wire with a single strand of barbed across the top is the worst.

There is a very large perimeter fence where I work, 4' woven with a strand of barbed wire across the top. There is at least one deer leg hanging per mile at all times.

That's sad, poor buck .

For those against barbed wire what do you suggest ranchers do to keep livestock in?

 

[BradA]

Dang that’s a bummer looks to be a pretty good buck

 

[Montanamooseman]

That sucks. Did you take that rack home?

Yeah, I met up with the local warden and biologists. They gave me a dead head tag. Its currently getting a European mount done.
