There are at least 7 more of them out there.  I/we had found a a herd of four bulls the size of the two bottom ones.  I believe that is a set from the same animal. The biggest one on top is at least one year since drop, likely one, in my opinion.  There was a bigger bull spent the latter part of the winter a mile South of the four and I'm assuming that top one is his last year shed.
  The four had their antlers one evening and four days later they were slick heads. Kinda/sorta cool that they lost them that close together.

I have heard that big antlers can play hell with tractor tires. True or is that just an old wives tale?  Those are nice looking racks and ought to worth a few bucks (pun intended)

Deer antlers [usually White tails} Make a lot of money for tire repair shops as they fall ad sit on the main beam leaving the points pointing up.  I picked up hundreds in my spraying career and was thanked by farmers for it.  I remember my father finding a large antler which he brought home to save the tires, the dog found it and next day dad found it again in our biggest tractors tire.
Never saw an elk antler in a tire as they spend more time in the bush.
