    I am glad to have the horns, just hope it doesn't kill a bunch more deer around here this year.
    Last year and the year before, several nicer bucks have been found here and surrounding counties.

    With the moisture we've had this year , it shouldn't be EHD but one never knows . Sure hope you don't find any more like that .

    EHD is no joke! We had it bad back in 2012 and we found over 20 deer dead on our farm. 11 were bucks 6 were pretty nice for our area!

    The rack looks pretty white, could it be from last year?

    This year for sure, still had meat on part of the skull and fresh dried up velvet on the antlers. I can't say for sure it was Blue tongue. Most or all of the rest of it was gone.
    I'm hoping it was something else. We will be watching for more to show up.
