We collared a total of 11 bucks in Pickens County. Based upon the information that I have right in front of me, 5 of those animals are known to be dead. That means that there are 6 that could possibly still be alive, and some of those may have been wearing a collar that has since fallen off. WE also likely ear-tagged a few more buck fawns that were accidentally darted as does. These animals could now be what you described.
Sorry that I don't have more detailed information for you.
