never thought of that....but the only buck i killed in my life dad said can someone please cut the antlers out now?? we leave our deer up the mountains to get processed when we harvest them up there...and thats 2 hours from here...they are lenient on pick up time and we get there when we can.....id be prettttttty upset to find out my cape and antlers or just my little set of antlers was missing.....ill take your advice and always get it right then and there.....even if i have to wait for it.....better then not getting them! thats terrible......i dont see why people steal antlers and trophys.....i know im not hanging something on my wall i didnt harvest fair and square me vs nature i won....antlers dont mean anything to me unless they came from a deer i harvested or i found the sheds......just me....i guess some guys just LOOOOVE antlers??? who knows....whats next? someone breaking my truck window to take the turkey beard and spurs from my rearview mirror!!?!?
