    Found this behind the house last night. Not sure how many times I walked by it. The dog actually found it. He was trying to pull it out from underneath some CRP that grew up threw it. Not sure how old it is. It's not chewed up at all but it definitely looks a bit weathered. 17 scorable points I'm guessing it would have grossed it somewhere around 160-165. Didn't find any more bones around. Betting coyotes took care of the rest long ago. ImageUploadedByBowhunting.com Forums1459727141.115713.jpg

    Only way that it would be more impressive would be with hide on it!

    Pretty lucky to have that in such great shape! Cool find, too bad he's not still roaming around though.

    Very cool! Similar thing happened to me about this time last year after I moved onto my new property. I was out picking up trash on my 6.5 acres and came across this guy. Same thing....just the head. No other bones.

    Sweet! If they're going to die anyway, at least it's nice when we find them so they can be appreciated.

    Just a friendly reminder that it is illegal in KS to pick that up without a salvage tag. Great find!
