Even at 70 pounds it would be tough to get it up in a tree if you didn't use a block and tackle...why didn't they just field dress it and carry it out?...geeez.

It was probably dragged up the tree by a cheetah.

The two hunters and a state wildlife expert returned to the site on Dec. 13 and had to cut down the tree to dislodge the deer from the crotch of the maple tree.
Have they no shame?

A seventy pound buck would be tender and tasty as can be...better than an old one, that's for sure. I call it "vealison."

Maybe the guy didn't know how and went to fetch someone who could? Then forget where he put it?
