I had no pics and one possible sighting by a lease hunter. 

I posted the pics on FB to see if anybody knew him and had a neighbor with pics and another guy had pics north west  3.04 miles away as the crow flies.

Also the second guy knew another guy who had pics of him south west 1.68 miles. He sure got around!!

Cool dead head, looks like he was still pretty young,  couple more years and he would have been a monster.

Really?  He looks like he is just starting to take off but I'm just guessing based on his mass and spacing from one picture on the interwebs haha.  Either way super cool find.  Did you take him home?

That crossed my mind.  Also, the rut is responsible for many buck deaths, but he is not all broke up.

Nice one kenny. As cool as they are to find, there's always that nagging bit of sadness.

Terry, I kept it for sure!

It was pretty stinky so I didn't want to boil it out.  so a stake and a rope and it went in the pond for cleaning. 

I did one like it a few years back and the critters cleaned it up good, it was kind of brown stained but I think you could boil it later with a little dish soap and use some peroxide and it would be nice... :thumbsup:
