222 Dead Head

sharpshinned · Mar 11, 2010

This project has been in the works for a while now. Finally got it done. Here's some pics. Enjoy.

Reproduction of the big dead head picked up in 1994. 222 7/8 Gross, 216 2/8 Net. B&C #3 last I checked. I had the antlers colored and mounted to the best cast skull we could find. Turned out great.

Can i get one of your measuring tapes.

Here is the original at the B&C Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center in Cody, WY

The fact that none of you recognize this buck amazes me. Newbies to the mule deer world.

#3 all time, AZ state record. Found by Steve Stayner in 1994.

And yes the score is legit...

You need someone to show you how to run a tape before you lip off wacmaster..

Wasn't this deer in Eastmans as the "Lion Kill Buck"?

I believe it is noted in the B&C 23rd Big Game Awards that it was potentially a lion kill dead head. Picked up sun bleached some time later by Steve Stayner.
