    I got my daughther's friend interested in deer hunting. He got a small
    four pointer opening day of shotgun season and after I let him in on a 
    special place he managed to bag this nice buck.
    I can't believe such a big deer with no horns. The holes were still
    raw where the antlers used to be.  Would have been a nice set of 
    antlers as the sockets measured about 2 inches in diameter.    
    I couldn't take part in the MA season this year so I guess this
    deer could have been mine. I've been chasing him around for the
    last couple of years.....

    It may be worthwhile (although too late due to the new snow) to search
    the vicinity where he shot to deer.  You my stumble on the antlers.
    
    Mark.

    I'd try like crazy to find them antlers.....then I'd get a
    nice head mount done and have them re-attached to the skull
    
    BACKWARDS!!! :-)
