More pics of locked monster bucks

I was finally able to get ahold of some "as they lay" pictures.
The date on the camera is obviously not set correctly.

Enjoy.

WOW!!!! What a shame as well as a horriable way to go out. Thanks for sharing.

 

[rrr]

Dang that is a shame.

 

[rgecko23]

What a couple of monsters...dank shame they went out like that. Wow

 

[Mike]

Amazing.

 

[Curran]

Could you imagine being there to witness that fight!! Too bad it ended the way it did.

 

[cotty16]

Incredible...

Looks like it was the one on the left that lost the initial fight, with the broken neck. It looks like they had been that way for quite a while too, with the way the horns are all bleached all ready.

It sure would be an awful way to go. :smiley_armscrossed:

Did you find these Chad?

No, dammit!

They were only about 1/4 mile from one of my stands down in a ditch. I hunted that stand 2 times the week they were discovered......Not once did I see any buzzards or crows circling that area! Also, I drive past that spot several times per day and didn't notice anything. The farmer was working bean stubble ground and found them.

Thats a shame...two studs. Thanks for sharing.

I was talking to someone, can't remember who, but he thought it would be cool if you found a locked pair like that to get some capes and mount them so that they would be at 90 degree angles to each other and you would hang it in a corner. With two bucks like that right there, I think that would be the ticket. Heck, I think that would be cool to do with two UN-locked bucks...

 

[Fullbore]

A once in a lifetime find! Sad story though!!!

 

[1hornwilly]

Whoa.

 

[Archertl]

What a shame that two bucks in their prime died like that.

 

[Gern186]

I think the guy that found them had them mounted...let me do some checking around to see if I can get some pictures.

Hey Chad, do you remember if they were ever scored? That would be a tricky task!lol

 

[Gern186]

Yes they were scored, although I don't think officially. One was in the 170's and the other low 160's.

I had a very close encounter with the larger one the year before from the ground in a cornfield the first week of season.....lets just say I had an equipment malfunction....still wake up at night thinking about that moment.

I'll bet that would pose an interesting taxidermy challenge

 

[Monster Raxx]

Those are cool pics. Sad way to go out though. I bet that would make for a sweet taxi pic.

Wow, how did I miss this thread??? That's one serious find there.... I would love too see the mount pictures..... Thanks for the update Chad and Ron.....
