Cutting heads of roadkill bucks?
Lately I have been seeing alot of headless dead deer laying by the roads. I was just wondering how many of you have actually stopped and cut off a bucks head?

Guilty, probably three counts. But I usually take the whole deer and dispose of the carcass behind the house for coyote bait. Got a whole wall of nut'n but skull mounts. Some found in woods, some roadkill, but mostof 'em I killed.

One morning my wife came back from dropping my daughter off at work and she told me about a big buck laying on side of road. Whe i got out there, there was a state trooper there cutting the horns off it. Turns out another trooper hit it at about 80 miles an hour! He wrecked the car and was taking the horns as a momento.
Last week someone hit a big ten pointer and by the time I heard about it and got there the ehad was gone. I wouldnt cut the head off if I had time I would just scalp around the horns and cut the skull cap off.

Why on Earth would you want the head of a roadkill buck?

I have personelly taken antlers off 2 road kill bucks. The first one was in the middle of a couple bars alongside a country raod that have pet bears (
) and it still had its velvet on, so me and my cousin both took an antler. Its a pretty neat conversation starter. The other was from a buck that was dead near one of my non-hunting freinds house. I took the antlers off and moved the body into the woods. I gave them to my brother for rattling antlers.

The only time I ever attempted this, I got caught in a ditch by a State Highway Patrol. He ran me through the ringer and said that this was on a state highway, etc. He ended up letting me go and I have never thought about it again.
