On Nov. 4, Tyson Raymer went deer hunting with his girlfriend on his family\u2019s farm near Disley, Saskatchewan. Their day took a wild and gruesome turn, however, when the 24-year-old Canadian hunter spotted a 10-point whitetail buck carrying around the detached head of another 8-point. He took advantage of the two-for-one special and ended their hunt with a pair of intertwined trophies.<\/p>\n
Raymer and his girlfriend had set up that morning in some tall grass on the edge of a rolling field. They went out expecting they\u2019d tag a doe, or maybe a decent buck. At one point, Raymer started rattling, and then he watched as a two-headed buck stepped out and walked toward him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI put my binoculars on him and I couldn\u2019t believe what I was seeing,\u201d Raymer tells Outdoor Life<\/em>. \u201cIt was a nice buck, with just the head of another good buck hanging off his rack.\u201d<\/p>\n Raymer soon lost sight of the buck and decided to make a stalk. The field they were watching had rolling terrain, and the wind was in their favor. He was also carrying a .50 caliber muzzleloader, so he needed to close the distance if he wanted to get a shot off.<\/p>\n \u201cI stalked to about 80 yards of him and could just see him on the other side of a hill in the field,\u201d Raymer says. \u201cFinally, he stepped out, I fired, he ran a bit, and fell dead. When I got up close to the deer it was incredible to see.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking down at the 10-point buck, he saw that the 8-point\u2019s head was securely intertwined in its rack.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sure they\u2019d been fighting,\u201d Raymer says. \u201cThe buck I shot had won the battle, and the 8-pointer died.\u201d<\/p>\n Both were mature bucks with thick racks. Raymer thinks the 8-pointer might have been the older buck, as its antlers were even thicker than the 10-point\u2019s.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to think that the 10-pointer broke the 8-pointer\u2019s neck during their fight,\u201d he says. \u201cThen over the time he was dragging the other deer around, coyotes and other predators could have picked at the dead deer until its head detached from its body.\u201d<\/p>\n Raymer says the 10-pointer he shot seemed to get around normally, as he watched it run after it\u2019d been shot. He also remembers a family member telling him a week prior that they\u2019d seen a good buck dragging around a dead buck, and that the two appeared to be completely locked up.<\/p>\n
