I went hunting today with frogman and as we were heading out to make another stand before the rain moved in I saw what looked like a shed antler. I walked over and to my surprise it was the whole head in a multifloral rose bush. After getting chewed up in the briars I was able to pull it out. I have never found a shed or whole rack so this was a first. It measured 16" inside, it's a real nice buck for this area.

I wondered that myself Joe. There were no other bones or anything, it was almost like something drug it off. I know that blue tongue did kill several around here but this had the velvet off and I would think that might mean he made it til' hunting season. :shrug:

Nice rack. Looking at how clean it is and the horns looking weathered, it maybe from last year.  :wo:

Maybe he went to shed his antlers & his whole head fell off instead?  :shrug:

I have not found a shed so definitely not a head, but it would be interesting to know the history.  Could be rather simple or pretty complex, we will never know, but at least you have it.

You may be on to something there VV. He might have figured out that he would live alot longer without the headgear. :eyebrow:
