I would say it is rare anymore. I typically only white-tail hunt my home property and a private ranch out west for mule deer. When I hunted public land (primarily Wisconsin) I would find 1 at least every other year. The first year the DNR had an early rifle antlerless season I believe I found 6 bucks. Two had their heads cut off, bodies left. The four smaller ones were just left in the woods. I suspect the little ones were shot thinking they were does and the shooter panicked. I fear the shooters knew what they were doing with the bigger bucks.
