why?
« on: August 16, 2014, 10:21:49 AM »
Just found this on a hike this morning. Not really sure why someone would do this, why it's still in a tree from last hunting season and why the predators haven't taken it down.

Looks like the eyes are still in it, no hair slippage. I'd say recent, poachers probably.

Report it, it looks like poachers may have been in that area.  :(

I'm impressed with the knot tying capabilities. Looks like it might be a signal some other perverse activity is going on.......

Could've been in someone's freezer in hopes to take to a taxi, then never did so they cut the horns and hung the head for predators. Maybe, don't know?

For sure winter coat. No smell, eyeballs were almost nonexistent but still some meat and skin. Which could have been frozen from rifle session until march or April. This was 1.3 miles away from any road or house, through lots of woods so I would think someone wouldn't walk a head out that far just to zip tie it through the ear. I'm assuming legal kill, pack out the meat and antlers but can't figure out the ear zip tie. Trying to figure out if it would benefit the skinning process but why not tie the antlers to the tree, do your skinning and quartering and then untie antlers to cut them off.   Frankly, I have no idea and will most likely never know unless the doer posts up.

Did you look around for game cameras or where one probably would've been?
