Russ went to the pens this morning and all was well with the deer. X-Factor, Rocky, Gold Dust, Geyser, Dream Catcher, True Blue, & Level King were all in great shape. Came back after lunch to check on all of them and Level King had broken one of the inside drop tines on his left beam. This was not the really big drop tine. It was hanging on but bleeding really bad. At that point we knew he had to be put down to stop the bleeding. Sadly enough we were to late and he died before Russ could get him darted. Sad day, he was really making a great deer and what a joy to watch him grow this summer. Words could not be truer than what I said in my last post a day or so ago. Good Luck & Good Health to All !!! You need them both. You never know when tragedy will strike.
