Had my euro mount (the deer in my avatar) outside "seasoning" last week and decided to move the skull to a different tree to be closer to the ants. That was Tuesday at lunch. Wednesday morning they were still there, as I looked out the window to check. Thursday night they were gone. I am beyond bummed. No signs of being dragged off by an animal. Confirmed with a neighbor that some wanderers were spotted around the area. That means that someone came up into my back yard from the road. I don't have a fence. That was my biggest deer to date and burns me up that someone would think that just because they see something they want, they take it. My wife doesn't understand that people will just steal antlers. Has this happened to any of y'all?

My girlfriend killed a 7 point this year. We got home and was in a hurry to get cleaned up and go somewhere. I placed the skinned head on the back porch. She asked if I was going to tie it down, to which I said no it will be fine. Well...something got it and it was gone the next day. I don't think I will ever live that one down.

I found it in his hedges.
Good luck on finding yours.

Originally posted by Doc Peter View PostI think I would be more concerned that someone walked into my yard while I wasn't home and stole anything, or may have entered my home, or engaged in some other criminal act rather than walking off with my antlers.
