dead head

[JCS]

While shed hunting this spring I ran across this dead muley. I packed him out. I thought it would look good on a plaque. About 5 minutes into boiling, the horns fell off. He must had died just before he shed.

I could find anything that caused his death.

Countable points(1" or longer) 6 on one shed, 9 on the other.

This buck wasnt very wide but it has a cool factor with all the points off the eyeguards.

I never saw this deer alive.

Now that is a bummer, glue them babies back on. Alot of old bucks seem to die right about shed time.

It seems that if a buck is rundown from the rut and winter that they will die just about the time they are going to shed, I found a dead buck that had shed one antler but the other was still attached until I knocked it off of the skull,,Cool finds by the way

Awesome find, get those things back on that skull and on the wall. Will look great. Perk, easier to boil skull with no rack on it.

Great buck! I'd definitely figure out some way to get those reattached. A buddy of mine picked up a dead bull last spring and as he was pulling it out of the brush he popped one side off.

We found a whitetail this year that dropped both sides within about 50 yards of where he died. This was a really young buck though.

Cool find.
