Default I got robbed!

Well, today I was out muzzloading hunting in Parke Co., IN and got what I thought was a nice doe. Once I got up to her to field dress her, I saw a horrible abcess and infection throughout her left hindquarters that appeared to have spread to her abdomen. Saw evidence of someone's 12 gauge slug that passed through her hind end, but missed bone. I figure she had been hit last month during firearms season.

The strange thing is that she appeared fine while I watched her trotting through the woods, and she even stared at me for a bit. Looked perfectly healthy.

Obviously not taking a chance on keeping that one. Contacting DNR to let them know.
