Did you see wounds or evidence of a lightning strike?
Lightning strike is a good idea :thumbsup: but I saw the bullet wounds in the deer.

Maybe that's where the park rangers dumped the poached deer they found. Just an idea and maybe why they didn't seem very interested in the find.
That is a strange find. I thought Hamms was only found in Chicago and Wisconsin.
Was squirrel hunting as a teenager and came out in a neighbor's corn field. There was a group of funny looking weeds along the edge of the field with a path going back toward the neighbor's house. Not knowing what kind of weeds they were, I plucked a leaf and took it to school to ask my ag teacher about it.
He confirmed that it was whacky weed and said I really needed to get rid of it, but not in his trash can, and I needed to find a new place to squirrel hunt.
I don't think the deer were dumped but it is possible of course. The bodies were well off the road, way to far to carry by hand, and I did not see tire tracks. Most poachers, calling who ever did this a poacher is too kind, would not seem to be the type of person to shoot and then carry off the deer to dump them else where. No meat was taken from the deer. They were just killed.
Having multiple shooters is the only explanation that ever made any sense but then you have to have two or more really good shooters, and I suspect some luck, to get that many deer in one spot. I think the deer had to have been eating when shot. I just don't see how they could have been hit when moving...
