Two Bucks Back Home...

[southern151]

These pics were taken in my hometown the other night. The man in the picture is Tracy Daniels, the senior game warden in Kay County, OK. The living buck was eventually freed from the expired buck. These photos were taken right in the middle of town near Pecan Road and Hartford Ave.(a major four lane road!).

An added note...I have had numerous dealings with Mr. Daniels and he is one of nicest wardens you could ever meet. I think some of the wardens here could learn A LOT from this man!

Man that's something!!!! Could you imagine coming up on that in the middle of the woods???

Only in Oklahoma.

thats awesome, but that took some balls to try to fight the live buck and risk taking a rack to the face.

WOW!!!!! thats good stuff right there....I have heard that the deer that are still alive hardly put up much of a fight when a human gets close because they are so exhausted from the fight.....

I remember seeing a video some guys made when they came across this same thing in the woods. They cut the rack off of one deer and the live one just looked at them then turned away and walked off...

That's an average buck in our area. They are everywhere up there! As I said earlier, this is in the middle of town! It's about 1/2 a mile from my grandpa's house. Tracy and my grandpa used to drink coffee every morning together before my grandma fell ill with cancer.


As for the fight, someone said that he didn't have much fight left in him and they were correct.

i would have shot the live one and cut the rack off the dead one and told yall i killed them...no way would i be untangling that thing while it was live

Born and raised in Osage County just on other side of the river from Ponca. We had a Ponca address but no city taxes(that's a good thing!!!).

Same here, I wouldn't mess with that thing live no matter how exhausted he is/was.

Yeah, it didn't take me long to figure out that they were WAYYYY different down here! They wouldn't make long where I grew up. OK has the idea that they are to act like the police: Protect and Serve...Not harass and badger.
