I honestly don't understand how they have any other value than what it costs to do the taxidermy. I just don't get it.
I have been on the opposite side of this story but the shooter wasn't a buddy. I found a big buck hunting the thanksgiving doe hunt one year. Deer was dead on a fence line 100yds off a road and completly eaten. What little meat was left looked fresh so I don't think it had been dead more than a few days.
I met a guy who bow hunts in the area a few weeks later and he tells me about this buck he hit on halloween and never found. Describes the buck I found perfectly so I show him a picture of it on my phone. His jaw drops and I tell him where and when I found it and that it was fairly fresh. I offered him the deer and he declined, said it probably survived the shot he put on it and got hit on the road or poached.
Two months later the guy contacts me, he is all tore up over this rack and the history he had with it. He offers to buy it and I said fine, I got the feeling he wasn't going to leave me alone unless he got the rack.
Call me a jerk, but what is the statute of limitations on claiming a deer you shot and didn't recover?
Just to throw another spin on things since everyones worried about legally tagging a rack from a dead deer what if the guy that originally shot the buck had went on to shoot and tag another deer after he lost that one?Hows he going to "legally" claim those antlers then if he doesnt have a tag?

In mudingbuck's case, I doubt it's the antlers themselves that is making his "buddy" a non-buddy, but rather the principle of what his "buddy" is doing to him. Pretty crappy guy if you ask me.
ya, this is not a situation of Mudingbuck being greedy over a set of antlers, he is venting frustration over a former "buddy" who knowingly found a buck mudingbuck shot and refused to give it up. He has every right to be pissed, I would be! I just wish that guy would read this thread!.... :thrwrck:
