Im not real sure the boddy was so ate up by the coyotes myabe they killed him he was a long way from the road and on the nastyiest spot on the hill. maybe old age because they dont normally get that much mass on them here. my guess is the coyotes got him. I have hunted this spot for about 5 years and never seen anything that big on it.

So what are you going to do with it? clean the skull and keep it as a euro or cut the antlers off
