Unusual Skull

[Dan Moss]

This guy is 24" wide with whats left of him (after rodent damage). He would have been pushing 30" if intact. In the second pic you can see how his antlers layed way back on his head.

[DEERSLAM]

Dang them critters were hungry...bummer!

 

[madmax]

Nice find. Is that a blacktail?

 

[deershed]

Wow,that would have been sweet finding that before the rodents got a hold of it.

This is a California Muley skull. I think the original damage came from a brushing machine. There doing a lot of that type of work in the area. Once a couple of tines were knocked off the rodents had there way with it.
