Horn rot. Dont know why but it just  happens to some I guess. Let us know what you find Mich. I have a bull I did  a euro on that is really bad. Real black horn and all the tips are broke , even the main beam.

I am not sure but I wonder it it will cause the antler to eventually crumble over an extended period of time?  When I did tine repairs on the bucks in Gerogia I use to cut the tips down to hard bone and rebuild.  Only had to do a couple.  Most people wanted them to remain natural.

Since its Slinger's buck, it most likely has horn rot. Especially if it spent any time in his truck.

Long story short. Same thing happened to me with a bear, a 7 footer. After a year and a half of hearing every excuse in the book. I finally had a lawyer write a letter to the taxi and his ex wife. I had my bear back within two days. He had it the whole time. It didn't cost that much. Food for thought. That sort of thing just gives taxi's a bad name. Know your taxidermist!!!!!

Every time I see this thread pop up with a new reply I get pissed off all over again thinking about *censored* like this. Most of you know about my 04 late buck tag, not quite the same but still know exactly how he feels >:(
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
