Ah, after 5 months they should be nice and tender! LOL, yeah, I'm just joking. Working in law enforcement where I do, I respond to a lot of car-deer accidents and I save every set of antlers I can. I just think they are cool to look at as well. Plus, even though you didn't shoot it, there is still a story that goes along with it. I stopped a car for speeding one day, just about into my town and as I'm approaching it I notice a station wagon coming towards me from the opposite direction. No big deal, but you always need to know where the traffic is so you don't get dead on the side of the road. So anyway, I am approaching the car I stopped and I hear a loud crashing noise. I look up and here comes a deer flying through the air like a helicopter blade right at the car I just stopped. It hits the front quarter panel of the car I stopped, flys up over the car right at me. I had to run back to the Troop car to keep from being hit by this deer. It lands dead right in between me and the car I stopped. The deer ran out in front of the station wagon approaching me from the opposite direction and he hit it. Fortunately the car I had originally stopped didn't have any damage and lucky for them no ticket. The deer turned out to be a really small three point I had seen on and off all Summer. You can bet that I kept that rack. It is about as tiny as it gets but I will never forget how I got that 'rack'.
