I found a dead 10 point while fishing a pond in the spring in PA as well!!!!It was along shore of a pond (smell gave it away),musta got shot/wounded during season and headed to water (I cut the horns off).......That hunter had big story of the one that got-away.....

Also found a 6 point that was dead when his horns got caught in vines while rubbing a tree!!!!!It was still hanging there half eaten when I found it.....
Also found a skunk that was stuck in-between 2 brush sprouts that it tried to crawl in-between,it was dead/trapped and didnt make it out......Dead on arrival!!!!!
