My wife bought these at Habitat for Humanity. How bad is my luck going to be now? Is it bad juju to buy another man's trophy antlers? These are pretty big. 24" spread. I put my dirty hat in between for perspective since ita hard to tell. I would cry if I got something this big.

There is nothing on the back. I was hoping there would be a name or date. I just wish I knew the story behind it. Just random big antlers.
 
Don't lose any sleep over it... Hang that sucker on a wall and if you have people over for New Years... Tell them some BS story how you watched that deer for years, then you knew all the conditions would be right one morning, so you laid in freezing water all night till daybreak and finally shot him at 492 yds at a full run...
 
I scored it unofficially at 166 but I have no idea what Im doing and didnt know what to do with the split brow tine. So its bigger than that. It makes me sad that was someone's trophy and the kids or grand kids pretty much threw it away.
