Was in Silverton, Colorado back in the 90s and a store had something similar for sale in the shop. It was a full mule deer Euro and the tree grew around it. They found it in the mountains not 1 mile from the shop.
$$$$$$ was crazy expensive!
This is off subject but that same day I purchased my first ever antler. Was 8 yrs old and picked up a really nice mule deer set for $50. Displayed in my room through my teens and made a lamp out of them. Sold to a local store and few years ago. A TBH member here purchased a chandelier from me last year and when I delivered it at his office I noticed a mule deer lamp sitting in the waiting room. Sure enough it was the one I made and my first set of antlers that began my addiction to antler art! Small world.
My wife put a nice shed in the Y of a crepe mertle tree that is in our flower beds a few years ago. the tree has grown around it pretty good in the short time it has been there.
I picked one up in the yard last year, and hung it in a low hanging branch of the oak tree it was under. The dogs had been playing with it I guess, and I picked it up so my wife didn't run over it with the mower. I haven't checked it lately, but I would guess it is stuck too!
