I found this guy while tracking ny buddies doe he shot. It looks like he was bedded down and just got his rack stuck in the y of the low branch. I was kinda bummed to see this. He looked like he was struggling to get out for a while, notice how the dirt is kicked away!
Well, I hated to just see this guy rot away so I went to the Warden station and asked if I could take the head. They took my name and info in case of any questions. I will put his skull and crazy rack on my full body mount I'm getting done with my Blonde Coyote I shot a few weeks back with my bow. I put it at the Coyotes feet. I guess it will give him a little respect like he deserves!

Is that tree cut, or did he try to rub a dead tree????

Thats a sad sight, its always bad to see how cruel mother nature is sometimes, atleast he will be forever remembered as part of your coyote mount!

Thats a low branch on a tree! It looks like he just was bedded and got his rack stuck, as far as I could tell. He struggled pretty good to get out. Alot of wear on the rack and the ground around him.

That's a shame. It's make you wonder why they are so hard to kill sometimes if they die getting their heads stuck in branches.

This happens from time to time .I honestly don't know why this doesnt happen more often I get hung up some time going through some thick stuff i don't know how they do it with a big rack on there head

A friend of mine had found one like this once after 2 deer were fighting and the one he found had an antler stuck under a root. He was still alive and was there for a couple of days. So that one was shot and tagged, a few more days and it would of been dead for sure. It is always a sad thing when this stuff happens but, from time to time it does.
