Default big buck down!

My biggest buck mount fell off the wall[:@][:'(][&o] It's been hanging in the same spot since 1999. I came home last night and we are standing in the kitchen when all of a sudden the mount just falls off the livingroom wall! It hit a piece of artwork, flipped and crashed antlers first into the floor. I can't believe none of the tines broke! But it hit so hard it must have cracked the skull plate. The antlers wiggle independant of each other[:'(]

There goes getting it measured for the book!

I hope nothing else on it was damaged. Did you figure out why/how it fell?

I'm baffled. I was so careful to make sure it was hooked properly. The hanger is fine and the nail is fine. Unless someone bumped it and it was just barely hooked? I'll probably never know. I will check to see what can be done with it. I'm sure it can be fixed. I'm just glad none of the tines broke.

That's crazy. Hopefully you can get it fixed pretty easily. You are very lucky the tines didn't break.

Just ask Troy about his cable guy.[:@]
