I used to do it for rattling antlers or if it was big enough just to gawk at. That is the good thing about getting to respond to deer accidents is I get the first bid! hahaha
This is funny that you say this.... My uncle has a big buck mounted in his home and for yrs he told me that he went down to grandma's,,, his grandmas and shot it with a pistol... Years later my other uncles told me that the DNR gave him the rack and he went to our local processing plant and got the cape.... LOL... Some people are such good story tellers....not to long ago I asked him what size of pistol he used and he just laughed... lol
