Susanville Buck Wreck

[sageadvice]

Some of you Susanville guys may have known about a honker velvet buck that was hanging around hiway 136, right below the truck brake check area on the West side. I had to make the run over to get some needed parts and was held up by the CHP. As traffic slowly passed what i figured a wreck, i saw the buck laying up against the guard rail. He was a DANDY!! I don't believe he was fully developed and didn't get to count points but, IMO, he was/gonna be a shooter anywhere in Kali with long heavy main beams, well outside his ears. Sorry no pic's!

Darn Shame!!!

Yeah BS, don't think it didn't occur to me to go back and ask those CHP guys if i could salvage that deer. I did it once before and no regrets. On the return trip back to Chester, it wasn't there.

I spoke to a buddy of mine about that buck this evening. He works for the local telephone co. there and has seen this buck a bunch of times. I asked him how big it was, i didn't get a real good look at it, and he spread his hands out to about 30", said he thought it was only a big 3x3 but wasn't sure. He just said that it was the biggest buck that he knew about over there and there are a lot of bucks in Susanville that never leave the city limits.

We had a motorcycle vs deer on the Eastern side, on hwy 395, some days back. Both driver and deer fatal.

Something like 85 REPORTED road killed deer, this calendar year so far. That's just in about a 50 mile stretch of 395 thru Mono county.

Zones X9a and X12.
