Shed season 25'
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
Well.... I contacted a local taxidermist about restoring the antlers.It's only $100 for the first 6" of antler and $25 per inch afterwards.
Pass....hard pass!!!I also found out, from that taxidermist, that you have to get a permit (it's free) from the GW, for the head with antlers attached.
Nice find Rick! Wonder if it landed just right to stick in the mud or if he just really wanted it off and forced the issue.Found a lawn jart thee udder day. There was some blood on it so someone tried to catch it. Lol

Found my first roadie of the year yesterday. Permission asked and granted, just to get that out of the way. OnX makes it to easy to verify a landowner on the fly. I love it. It had been there a while and I’d probably driven past it about 40 times but the overcast was perfect for spotting them yesterday combined with the fact it was getting sun bleached. I actually saw 2 more, one being a really nice 4 point side but landowner wasn’t home.
Found this 5 point side on the edge of a cornfield by my house. No atl of that one as I had my 5 and 2 year old with me. Didn’t really get a chance to try and match it up yet either. Probably start putting on some miles this weekend.
One more this morning by the house. Just saw the pedicle staring at me when I first saw it.

As it turns out, you're allowed to pick up all the antlers you want. However, if their attached to the skull, you need to obtain a carcass permit (it's free), from the GW. I made the call, met up with him this morning and he was glad to issue me the permit.
I'd never heard of this for a skull with antlers. I thought a carcass permit was for a road killed deer. Live and learn.
