Dead Deer - Roadkill

[JakeSCH]

Man, there have been quite a few deer killed right next to my house over the last month. At least 4 within the last 2 weeks off of the 67 / scrips poway parkway area.

Today I saw a nice buck in velvet on my way home from work. I had not seen any for the first 4 months living here, now quite a few. Maybe they are traveling for water?

 

[Snake Charmer]

Yep seen a few there in the last few weks as well. Check with Larry to make sure but I think if you finish them with a .380 you can take them home.

There is definitely a lot of movement, as bucks start leaving their bachelor groups...Seems early, but I've seen a number of hard horned bucks.

Sadly, this great "16" buck met his maker last week not far from where I live.

Dang Steve, that's a dandy. What part of town was that? Saw a dead doe a while back on vc grade, haven't seen that in a while.

Matt,

Don't think so....Pretty much dead on arrival....

Dustin,

By the way the buck walks, not that far from the Guejito...Great genes in there....

@JakeSCH I've seen a handful of nice 3x's hit on the 67 between Foster Truck Trail and Sycamore Park Dr.

 

[Snake Charmer]

The Guejito area is definitely a magic spot genetically, for sure the lions and tigers enjoy it as well and have done so for many years

Yep Darryl,

Sad to see him go out this way...Not far from him was where I found the 4x4 lion kill.

And now we know why there are so few nice bucks in the "16"

 

[Hunter527]

Is the Guejito area where Arizona bucks were released a while ago? I thought I read something about that on here.

 

[Creeping Death]

Guejito you say? Never heard of her.

I don’t see a hole in the skull.

Pretty soon you might be able to harvest a fresh one...https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/gov-newsom-signs-roadkill-bill/1964553/

Story goes that bucks from "The Strip" were released on the Guejito and Cuyamaca State park....Who released them (DFG?) and when (1940's), I do not know.

ps...My old friend Mitch (RIP) was the biologist on the Guejito...He used to show me pix of some pretty tremendous bucks on there...Mitch shot this monster.

27 1/2" wide, heavy mass, and the animal itself was well over 200 lbs.
