Here's the email I got today-

Big Bucks Found dead Locked in Battle

These bucks were found on November 16 near Henning, MN. Our deer shack is located about a mile from the swamp where the bucks were found. Here's the story...the guy that found them had left his stand Sunday morning and was walking back to their shack when he noticed a tine sticking out of the swamp grass just off the side of a four wheeler trail. He walked over to check it out and found the two bucks frozen in the swamp ice with only about one foot of each deer's side and about 10 inches of the tines above the ice. After getting help from some hunting partners, they managed to chop the deer out of the ice and get them loaded onto a flatbed trailer. The deer were then brought back to the shack and the word started to spread. The "smaller" of the two was a massive 8 pointer that green scored an estimated 150+ inches and the "larger" monster was a true swamp buck with what was thought to be 18 scorable points and a green score of 190+ inches.>From what I've heard since these photos were taken, the two bucks are gaining statewide attention and the the larger buck actually has 23 scorable points. It is thought that the bucks had been dead for 2 weeks before being discovered. Because of this, the capes had begun to deteriorate and were not capable of producing a mountable cape. However, new capes have been supplied and the bucks are in the process of being mounted locked together in battle. The twine on the antlers was to prevent the bucks from coming unlocked when the heads were removed. Also, check out the cup on the tip of the main beam on the big guy! Hope you enjoy the pictures. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Man...that is a shame! What a stud of a buck...

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

Those were two great bucks for sure. I am sure it is going to make a great mount.

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

BOy, you here aabout that more and more. Makes you wonder how many times the deer die and are never found at all.
Real brutes there, would love to see a great fight like that someday!

Thanks for sharing some great pictures.
And your post ends even better , saying the bucks will be mounted as they are. I thought that was truly a fitting end and memory!
Fantastic!

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

WOW, what a shame, those were a pair of STUDS, and SMART STUDS at that. To have gotten that big and eluded hunters means they were no dummies for sure.

Thanks for sharing Schultzy!!!

These deer were found right up the road. I hunt a pile of land between Deer Creek and Henning MN. What a shame. I have actually hunted this farm.[:@]

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

Tis a shame, but what a find!! couple of monsters for sure!

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

Are these the same two that someone had posted a few weeks back or is this a recent find?? I remember seeing athread recentlyabout two deer found ina ditch nearly covered by ice that looked very similar to this one. Regardless, that one is a truly awesome buck.

Nice bucks....would have had to do a double shoulder mount on that find myself

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

WOW, there is a couple of toads right there.

Great photos! I've never come across locked bucks, but a few years ago I saw video a guy took when he found two locked bucks locally, one dead and the other alive. With lots of effort they were able to free the live buck and after resting the buck was able to leave.

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

Steve lives a smooth 140+ miles south west of Henning but I am just on the other side of the township!

RE: A couple of locked bucks
 

Yea, where the sheep are nervous and finding one with it's head stuck in the fence is common. Yea, we know where you live TeeJay[8D]
