I once had a deer stolen. I shot the buck about 0710 am and waited about an hour or so to start blood trailing. The deer ran approximately 150 yards stumbled across a county dirt road in front of a fellow who happened to be driving down the road. The buck fell in the ditch and couldn't get on its feet. The fellow then cut the deers throat and was attempting to load the deer up when my neighbor most graciously stopped and helped him load the deer. I learned about it like two weeks later frown
