somebody agree with me lol
Friend of mine sends me a pic of a deer skull with a massive rack that he found in the woods while hunting... anyhow he procceeds to tell me that this is the buck that his friend shot 2 years ago...
he said the whole entire skeleton was together and that the horns were perfect with no sign of animals chewing on horns... Anyhow i find it hard to believe that a deer skeleton can lay in woods for two years and not be scattered all over the place and nothing chewed on the horns...
what do you guys think???
This guy is a bit of a BS'er

Highly unlikely....as in like 99.9% unlikely. No chew marks and the whole skeleton is still in one place....probably is a couple months old, certainly not 2yrs.
Next he'll tell you his friend is getting it mounted. LOL

Unless the deer was buried under the permafrost in the arctic, your suspicion is correct. Within 2 weeks in the summer heat, that deer will be rotted, ripped up, and laying in disassembled pieces strewn all over the place. The antlers will be nearly completely consumed by porcupines and other rodents.

I drop my deer carcasses in the woods behind my house. Within a couple months they are picked clean to the bone. Not one has laid in place for long. Eventually something drags off most parts of it, even the head and antlers.
