Species Account:
Buck-probably two years old. I don't have pictures but am a Licensed hunter and am 100% certain it is a mule deer. Antlers in velvet, four point, maybe between 2-4 years old. Had been spotted in area for several years. Assumed to be hit by a car, but perhaps not in the exact area the animal died. No bullet/arrow puncture wounds observable. Appeared to be otherwise healthy and in good body condition. No observable lesions or parasites on liver, heart appeared normal. No discharge from eyes or nose.
