My grandparents live on a few hundred acres near Placedo, TX. There isn't much out that way except cows and hay fields....occasionally, I'll see a doe out there but never any bucks of size.

I hadn't been out to their place in a while so while visiting over Christmas he had this to show me. He's not a big hunter, but he does appreciate wildlife so I'm going to do a euro mount for him. I think I'll leave them locked as is and make a table pedestal out of them.

I measured the bucks last night. One scored 147" and change, while the other scored 121" on the dot....totaling 268" of antler.  It stinks to see this happen, but it was a cool find nonetheless.

I would definitely leave them locked up. It would be an injustice to both after having died that way to break them apart.

I got a Skull Hooker mouting device for christmas.  That would look awesome on the Skull Hooker!

Fantastic trophy. It's sad those two bucks had to go like that.

I finally got around to finishing. Not the greatest work I've ever done, but it's good enough. These bucks oughta look good sitting on a table in my office/man room.
