Deadheads - Let's see 'em

[Irrelevant]

Cool find with the spine still connected, Neffa! Are you guys allowed to keep them?

The spine and hip on the one I found were nearby, but not still connected. I stupidly ditched the lower jaw bone because it was clacking around and I was still chasing a buck. Dropped a pin and might ask a friend to grab it if goes back.

While we’ve got the experts summoned: is the attached from a sheep hide? I found this leathery patch in the next gulch over.

Nope.

Awesome thread. recently moved to a state that "allows" deadheads to be kept. Never understood the reasoning for outlawing it.

I would love to know the unfortunate stories of a lot of these heads. There is no doubt a lot to learn from them.

Thanks for sharing!

EHD got some good ones this summer. This was one of the better ones.

Found this guy a couple weeks ago on a hike. Old sucker. Molars are getn smooth. Pretty sure my dad and I passed this buck last year. Looks like he got a tad smaller.

Illinois buck I found on my old farm, most likely killed by EHD.

I know. I never understood why other hunters shit all over you because you are hunting in legal manner that they don't approve of.

I can’t say I have seen the crossbow get much hate where legal on here. The debate to allow them during archery season is not hating on legal crossbow harvests whatsoever.

Way to stick with it. I know that empty feeling. Congrats!!

I have lost track of how many EHD and winter kill bucks I have found this year. It is well into the double digits. This EHD whitetail is a step above the next best.

One from several years ago.

Nebraska deadhead I cleaned up. Had him on camera a week before I found him dead right below my stand.

Probable EHD buck I found the other day. I saw a couple really big bucks in this spot the year we had our last outbreak. I’ve probably driven past it 100 times before I saw it

Found a nice deadhead this evening.

Nice job on the skull. Any idea how he died
