Might have been a non recovery. :dunno:
What a shame very nice!
Corona gets another one. :wavey:
Man that was a good one!

Nature is cruel!
:campfire:
great find!
I had no pics and one possible sighting by a lease hunter.
I posted the pics on FB to see if anybody knew him and had a neighbor with pics and another guy had pics north west 3.04 miles away as the crow flies.
Also the second guy knew another guy who had pics of him south west 1.68 miles. He sure got around!!
Cool dead head, looks like he was still pretty young, couple more years and he would have been a monster.
Pretty sure he was 4 or 5 because I got pics about same size in 18 and 19 from the guys...
Really? He looks like he is just starting to take off but I'm just guessing based on his mass and spacing from one picture on the interwebs haha. Either way super cool find. Did you take him home?
Dang nice 4-5 yr old!!!
:campfire:
Maybe hit by a car?
Or he just died of natural causes...
That crossed my mind. Also, the rut is responsible for many buck deaths, but he is not all broke up.
:campfire:
That's for sure a nice one.
Nice one kenny. As cool as they are to find, there's always that nagging bit of sadness.
I hope you kept that!
Terry, I kept it for sure!
It was pretty stinky so I didn't want to boil it out. so a stake and a rope and it went in the pond for cleaning.
I did one like it a few years back and the critters cleaned it up good, it was kind of brown stained but I think you could boil it later with a little dish soap and use some peroxide and it would be nice... :thumbsup:
Ohhhhhhh dang! That's a good one.
I'd like to see it when you finish it please sir!
He ain't gonna be real pretty, somebody bit part of his nose off... But I'll get some pics of him up... :thumbsup:
Interesting, never heard of throwing them in a pond. I usually bury them for 6-9 months.
It should make a fine Euro mount. The truth is if you can't get them bleached out nice you can always spray paint them and once up on the wall they'll look as good as any. :thumbsup:

If it doesn't clean up well, go to the craft store and get some white chalk paint and paint it. I have a couple that were done that way, and they look superb!!!!

Peroxide will do wonders. Just be sure to rinse it well
