Rode my bike to work and have to cross a river, there was a deer that died on the bank,though ah poor guy. After work went by and saw it was a nice 8 point buck,called DNR told them what happened said I was going to see if I could salvage anything, they said let us know what you got. Very steep muddy bank im all muddy Mosquitoes were brutal, coyote track's every where, getting a little pissed gave it good tug and BAM Pepsi bottle. I guess it's time to start walking the river. My guess common 1964 one

Looks intact. The spirit of the buck must have protected it. :) Congrats on your effort driven find.

(Nothing) "will keep you from your appointed rounds." ...Do you still have a purple patch with the Pony Express rider on it?;)
