That's a beauty!
I saw a road kill today in Westchester, at first I didn't think it was a deer it was so big, but as I drove by I saw it was a huge bodied deer. So on the way back I stopped to take a look. The antlers were cut off, and no kidding the bases had to be 10"-12" in diameter, literally as thick as my forearms. Must have been an enormous rack.
Silly question, but someone cut these unhardened antlers off, aren't they just gonna rot?
