Rusty Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) That's a bummer. He's been dead quite a few months, he hadn't shed his antlers yet. Edited May 16, 2018 by Rusty not on the rug and Live to Hunt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else could have stuck him with arrow, sprayed with buckshot, or auto accident. What a shame.

Mature bucks tend to shed their antlers earlier, so if I had to guess I would say that he died before mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably last time I had him on camera. I have to try and find my pics of him on the hoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipper Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 From my observation, he died 1-4-18, at 3am. Sorry. Hopefully you'll get one of his sons. kanigie and Bonefreak 1 1 "All men die, not all men really live". WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks so bad for you bonefreak. Take the head have European mount done and have some of your trail cam pictures framed and hang them next to skull.
