Moose Droppings

In his 10 years with the North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Palmer has never seen a larger buck then the one he saw on Saturday evening while investigating a MVA in Stanly County. The SUV that collided with this hoss of a buck was being driven by an unidentified hunter who had spent all day Saturday hunting without bagging anything. Little did he know that his ride home he would bag what for many would be a trophy of a lifetime but unfortunately it would be with his vehicle and not a gun. No one was injured in the accident but his vehicle did sustain significant damage and the buck was killed.

Trooper Palmer reports the buck was a 12 point with a 20 inch spread weighing 200lbs, a trophy by anyone’s standards I’m sure. The driver was allowed to keep the deer but not before Trooper Palmer got a snapshot of himself with a buck of a lifetime.
