he may have had to work but my guess is that he tried to get in a hunt the next morning before looking for his deer
Your reading comprehension is off a little dude. He shot the buck at 6:38 in the morning and let him lay up for a couple of hours before pursueing him. In the meantime, he shot another buck and actually saw it fall and die so he went and tended to it while allowing the first buck some time to expire. The Michigan gent who claimed the buck actually shot what I believe was a different buck the evening before (based upon all the evidence) and unfortunately happened upon this guy's dead buck while looking for his own the following morning. Freak, freak occurence that I believe could have been solved with the help of a Game Warden and/or the site superintendent but the guy simply handled it wrong. Not saying I could have done better....not sure what I would have done to be honest.
