    I love the weirdo dead head! I have one too, and it may be my favorite.

    Edit: that's a shed next to it, not part of the skull.

    When I shot this one years ago his right antler was sticking out from behind a pine bough...

    Walked up to it, score!
    That place is now known as tweakerhorn canyon.
    A much larger nontypical blacktail came from the exact same place. As well as a couple nice typicals I helped drag.

    Same area that cactus head skull came from, buddy hit me up for my dog.

    Swore he made a good hit so I didnt take my bow.
    Couldnt produce his arrow so Im always skeptical if I dont see it.

    Should have known better and have never not taken a weapon on a trail since.

    Jumped that buck at 10ft,
    Big ol war club lookin thing on one side and typical 4 antler on the other.

    All I could do was call my dog off and watch him run away with an arrow sticking out his front shoulder.
    Too bad nice buck.

    Love me some skulls too.
    I want to hang with you guys!

    Only one I ever found was while turkey hunting, went to jump a small creek, theres a deer jaw in the moss.

    Grabbed it and it just kept coming.
    It was upside down in the creek.
    Score again!
    Screenshot_20200321-185139_Gallery.jpg

    I love skulls I have a bunch of them, all kinds.

    School I was working at recently, hot science teacher found out I hunt and called me in to the classroom she just inherited.
    Nice antlered deer skull in the entrance, thought that was it.
    Was hoping she wanted to get rid of it.

    Nope
    She was wondering if I could id this.
    Wtf no idea!
    Some kind of alien maybe.

    Runnin between spots I came across a lil ol lady who was road hunting. She was all flustered askin me if I saw it did I see it!!!

    Calmed her down and apparently she just had a "big ol buck with CRAGGLY HORNS EVERYWHERE" run across the road just seconds before.

    Been huntin that ridge ever since.

    Pop and my brother had a huge nontypical along side the road at tweakerhorn canyon. Brother said it was so big pop completely lost it, locked the door, unlocked the door, locked the door, rolled the window up, the whole time my brothers hollerin get out pop get out, shoot that thing!!!!

    Yep
    Love me some tweakerhorns.
    Still checking those spots to this day.

    Something about the minerals or the genetics or whatever causes it.
    Ive found once you find one non typical you'll find another one day.

    A little chewed on but these are the biggest I've found, and the first matching set. This would be a really nice deer for around here.

    Nice and heavy!
    Good find.
    Turn those brow tines into eye guards and that was pretty much my obsession buck all bow season after the opening day meat buck.

    Good solid 3 point.
