second shot Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Here it is all cleaned up. I only kept the skull cap because the rest of the head was mangled. I assume it was a lion kill becasue of all the damage. I didn't realize it when I found it but I have a shed from this deer from two years ago. That's the first time I found the head of a deer that I had a shed from. Pretty cool.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Second Shot, You may want to be careful picking up heads that still have hair on them. There are legal issues related to this. It's not all that cut and dry, but I think you could get cited for something like that. You may want to call the local game warden and let them know about it and find out their interpretation of the rules. here is an old thread where this was discussed: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...c=3463&st=0 Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
105Coues Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Thats awesome!! I shot a 92" 3x3 down in 36B one year and while I was crossing the canyon to find him, I found shed of him as well. It was no more than 100yds from where I killed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
second shot Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Sundevil-I cheated on this head and painted it. I usually use peroxide but last time I did it absorbed into the bases of the antlers and bleached them too. Amanda-thanks for the heads up. I called G&F and sure enough it is illegal.

Well I'm working with MCSO so I'm going to need to come over and remove that set of antlers from your possesion sometime today. They should look great hanging on my wall instead! Good find, and very cool that you have a shed from the same deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
