I found one similar about 7 years ago. He tried jumping through the crotch of a tree and got stuck.

This one looked to be working a scrape on the top of that little ditch. We had gotten about 6" of rain over 5 days. Guessing he slipped down the hill catching his antlers.

A first for me, an elk dead head that someone cut the antlers off ! Ha , it was a small bull but still strange

Found this today, looks like it has been there for quite awhile. It is still there.

Wyoming Red Desert last week. Those animals - even the elk took a severe beating this winter.

Got it cleaned up and on the wall. Had a hell of time getting the grease out of the skull but it turned out decent.

@Greenhorn

Lemon oil, potting soil and pine pitch mixed up and put on with a toothbrush, then rubbed off with green branches from a hedge in my yard.

High 320s

Impressive 5 point my buddy sent me a pic of a kid from Wyoming that killed like a 360” one this year those big 5s are cool

Found this in a pretty nasty spot a few years back.

My dad and kiddo with a buck found dead after this season.

 

[Mountain Mule]

A couple of mountain-whitetail deadheads from lion kills this year.

No antlers on this one. I found it deer hunting in ID. I was gong into Hayes taxidermy anyway and brought it in, he estimated it was 10+.

 

[Bhoesl]

found this one behind my house this afternoon.

Not that I remember? Other than the bison in my avatar from way up high.
