Saw this buck squinting just after the rut nothing unusual in that it's bound to happen when you're battling with other horny critters over females.
He disappeared for a few weeks today he turned up and I decided he was a good animal for the table, interesting to see his eye had completely gone and other than that injury he appeared to be in good health. I shot him with the 22-250 at about eighty yards he walked about five yards and dropped so I didn't need the dog but I always like having her there just incase.
