A Texas hunter turned the state’s picturesque Hill Country into a real-life horror show, allegedly slaughtering at least 13 white-tailed bucks, slicing off their heads and leaving the headless carcasses to rot on residents’ front lawns. Darrell Maguire, 55, of New Braunfels, is accused of shooting deer with a crossbow from his vehicle, chopping off their prized heads and leaving the decapitated bodies behind for horrified locals to find over 11 months between fall 2024 and summer 2025, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department said Thursday. Weapons recovered during the investigation.
