Deadheads - Let's see 'em

[antlerradar]

I spotted this whitetail the middle of a pivot in December with the help of the birds that were feeding on him. Tracked down the landowner and got permission to retrieve the head.

These are 2 that I have found this year in Ohio. The half rack I found on public land rabbit hunting and the 12 point is a buck we found on private property.

Found this just south of town while deer hunting. Only about 13 inches, but cool looking.

Found this bull a couple years ago. Could see him from the road in a very popular shed hunting area. Was only visible for a brief moment as you drove down the road, but I was looking at just the right time under just the right lighting.

I'm not sure what killed him, but bears, lions and wolves all fed on him from the tracks all around him.

Glassing a local herd near home to see if they had dropped. All bucks still holding both antlers. About 200 yards from their bed was a spinal column and rib cage. 40 yards down the slope I glassed up this big three point deadhead

Pulled this one out of some gumbo while elk hunting last year.

Found this guy a few weeks ago. By far the oldest deadhead/shed i've ever found. Around here, antlers don't last more than a year but this guy had moss growing on it. Only about 60 yards from a busy highway so im guessing someone out there has an expensive memory of this guy.

Found this bull this spring and he had been dead at least 2 years. Decided to give him to a friend to hang in his cabin so we re-colored it. See it in "after the boil".
We don't usually put color on deadheads but this bull was pretty neat and the friend is a good one so we thought why not.




This buck was our management buck target for 2015 but we found him dead that year, while walking up to another deer I harvested.
He was aged at 8 1/2 years.

Lucky find last spring. Measured 149 something. The bird on the top is a young Downy woodpecker that flew into the garage. Made a good picture. I helped it out with a fishing net. First time trying to post a pic
