What is everyones opinions on this situation? I feel like 1 of three things could have happened hear:

1-hunter wounded the bull and could never find and recover the bull.

2-poachers shot the bull, left it to rot only to come back later for the deadhead.

3-hunter who waited 24 years for the tag shot the bull after over estimating its size and ground checked it not wanting to put a tag of a lifetime on it!

I have personally seen situation 3 with a lot of deer hunters only to confront them politely and tell them I found their buck! They usually have some sort of excuse as to why they couldn't find it...
 
I would be more interested in knowing why this is not heard more around town. Most folks around hear watch the critters pretty close.
