2009 White Tail Antlers

Woody finally has the antlers from the deer he harvested in 2009. Last fall he shot a nice white tail deer which he searched for along with Ron, they tracked the deer to a neighbouring property but Woody was not allowed on the property to retrieve the deer, before we left last fall for AZ another hunter had reported that he had seen the deer in the slew, and then this summer someone had dropped off the antlers on Ron’s front porch. Woody has since found out that he could have called a Fish and Wildlife officer to escort him onto the property to retrieve the deer, in this area a landowner must allow a hunter to retrieve an animal that was shot on another property that he has permission to hunt. Live and learn eh! Ron called Woody immediately after finding the antlers on his door step for Woody to come over and confirm that it was his antlers, Woody had pictures of the buck so no question they were his! The antlers scored out at 160 which is nice size for a White tail shot with a bow! Needless say Woody is a happy camper that the antlers finally found their way home. Thanks Ron!
