Dead heads.....what have you found?

[Speedgoat]

Visited my wife's uncle in Lakeway over Thanksgiving. They have 15 fenced acres. Found this guy at the back of the property with his foot caught in the fence. Coyotes and critters had gotten to him, but man he still stunk.

Cool find

[Ætheling]

Mmmmmm. Barbacoa.

[Trinity Outfitters]

That's a shame--good looking rack.

[Tx-Burt]

Found a small 6 earlier this season, then last week found a broken 8 pt from last year who got a pass. had 1 antler broke that my boys were making fun on that he was a slick horn on 1 side . . . sucks because he would've been nice this yr. Oh well, guess I got another hat rack LOL

[kenner27]

Found a spike that got its back legs hung between the two top wires. Coyotes got on him within a day or two. Tough way to go…

[jaker_cc]

Hunted this guy for a couple years. He disappeared after the rut one year. Walked up on him on the edge of a cactus flat when the birds found him.

Wow! Cant beat that one^^^^

I have found several dead heads, but I do a lot of walking. Couple of big8s. Smaller bucks, does and a beaver head years back

[jshouse]

i have a few, ill update with pics later

[C.Read]

Found a small 8 point a couple weekends ago that looks like someone left. He wasn't a legal buck.

[RifleBowPistol]

I have found many dead heads, but noting nice. I think the largest was a buck we think was hit by a car, it was on my mother's place, it is maybe a 14" wide 8 point. All of the rest I have found, are spikes to 6 points, that were all under 12" wide, I have found a bunch of those. Probably the most interesting one I ever found was a mouflon ram years ago, while bow hunting. Pretty nice ram, the whole ram was curled up under a bush, it was probably a four year old skeleton.

Those three bucks are all pretty nice bucks, that third one, is very nice.

I have hunted a multiple pieces of property that had some very large bucks, never once, found one dead or found their sheds either. I have found numerous sheds over the years, usually many years old, chewed up by rats, most of those were not much of anything. I have found a couple that had only been on the ground for about a year, still nothing impressive, and always just one side, never both sides.

[Mayhem]

Found this deer dead Labor Day.

my wife said why do you want to shoot the old smaller rack 10 point. just let him get old and die. This thread reminds me of why we put those down for dinner.

[lanceodom]

Saw this in the brush from the helicopter doing a survey.

A little more than just a head but we found this one on our fence line on the neighbors side a couple years ago. Neighbor said he didn't shoot it.
Public land is only 150 yds or so, so may have been shot over there and not recovered. Its ashame. Public hunter would've certainly been proud of that one.

This guy was found after the big freeze about thirty yards from my ground blind. Never saw him all season, but did have a few pics.

[S-3 Ranch]

A guy on the ranch shot this buck and he called in a dog which didn’t find it
Two years later I found this exactly where he fell dead 15 yards from the road

[Txhuntr2]

I found a set of locked bucks one morning walking back from my bow blind. I must have walked by them many times before finding it. I went back and looked through old game camera pics and found a picture of them locked up the year before. I had the taxidermist clean them up and mount them. Maybe one day I’ll have them shoulder mounted in a fight.

I found a dead buck while tracking a buck my dad shot a few years ago. They were less than 20 yards apart.

Found a nice 10 on the brazos river kayaking around chappel hill

[bugleboy]

Here’s a couple. Had high hopes for the young ten point with the long brow tines, but found him dead at a tank where I saw him regularly. My best guess is he was killed in a fight. Tip of one antler is broken off. Had never seen the other ten, but found him dead on a trail leading to my blind.

[buck_wild]

No pictures but best dead head I have found was a 146 twelve pt, a 140 eleven point and an old 130 ten point that had been injured the year before and went down 20"s before he died early the next fall.

[MooseontheLoose]

Here are a few of mine.

Found the axis head then realized I had a few years of his sheds as well.

The pics with ducks in them are from duck hunting big ponds down south. Can usually find a decent number of sheds/deadheads around them. Same pond, different spots on different hunts, but both of those heads were buried in the mud. No telling how long they had been there.

Found the elk in Nevada, on a knob glassing for mule deer. Super old, massive, gnarly old bull with almost no teeth left. JBone found a matching set of muley sheds on that same knob.

[Darton]

Recent find earlier this year! Taped out at 221 4/8

[Buckrider]

Me and the dogs found a small spike while we were looking for my 8 that I shot the afternoon before(found the 8 quickly and intact). The spike I think had been chased and killed by coyotes sometime during the night. He was half eaten. Didn’t see any bullet hole.



Sure miss those days of being able to hunt a lease for a nominal cost that didn’t create greed and a feeling of despair if you didn’t kill something!

[Yorkshire]

Here are a couple of finds

Found this buck on my place in October.

[BDann]

Found this guy a long time ago on our farm. It was too nice of a buck to not mount…

Goodness! What did his left G3 measure?

What an awesome buck

[bugleboy]

^^^ No joke, that’s a great deer!

If I remember right, it’s around 13”.

[The Crippler]

I usually lean heavily into the late 70's and early 90's shows but this one from 1970 really showcases both early acoustic/folky Dead to more electric jam material that would continue throughout the decade, a real gem.

I knew when I saw the title, that The Crippler would make an appearance with some musical reccs!

I’m surprised Mr Anvilhead hasn’t showed up in kind.

I stumbled upon one a TBHr's kid shot while she's hunting. Was able to get it to it's rightful owner. Pretty cool deal.

There are some absolute giants in those neighborhoods. The city of a Austin owns a bunch of the green space in the area. It’d be good to have management hunts. Lots of deer in the ditch.

My son brought a 10pt home that he found on an island the last time they kayaked at Rochelles on the Brazos.
