Stolen Antlers from my barn Mesa, CO

MuleyFreak72 · Jan 29, 2018

On Jan 19th, I found that sum peace of sh*t stole 6 sets of bull antlers from my barn rafters,and 10-12 sets of Mule Deer antlers, all are attached to skull plates. The bulls range from 330"-355" bulls, the bucks range from 160" - 175" bucks! I don't do any social media, but had a buddy (Shawn Hansow) post them on Facebook, with pictures of some of the bulls. One of the bulls is my sons he shot in 2015 we scored at 350 3/8", I would like to get it back for sure. These were all taken from Mesa, CO. The scum bags did it during the day when everyone was at work. Please pass the word along, and hope to catch the thieves!! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Say a prayer for the fellas that did this, that they don't return for more and let me catch em!

If they were up in the barn rafters I would figure it's someone you know and knows who is where and when, if you haven't already come to that conclusion.

Hope you recover them and the person is punished. Hate to hear things like this. You cannot replace them with money or anything else!!!

Thieves and liars suck.

Hopefully they come back...but they won't.

Sounds like someone local that has seen them hanging in your barn...

I once had a neighbor's dog take my best set of antelope horns out of my garage and chew them to pieces before I found out. I wanted to kill the dog because things like that are not replaceable. I can't imagine what you are feeling about all those antlers. Sounds like a lifetime of memories out the door...and for what? Value wise the thief won't get anything close to what you value them. Sorry man. I hope somehow they turn up. I hope you contacted law enforcement as well.

Same thing happened to me. I had a nice set of moose antlers, a nice set of elk antlers, several sets of deer antlers and some really nice deer sheds stolen from my barn. They were there for 5-20 years and nobody bothered them. They just happened to disappear while a crew of migrants were replacing a nearby fence on a UDOT contract. I heard the head guy on the fence crew died within the next few months, so I guess he got his due rewards.

I had a lot of nice mule deer racks and sheds that they didn't take, so I moved all of them to the rafters of my garage for safer keeping.

Did you call around to some horn buyers and let them know? Most likely yours were stole to be sold, maybe those businesses could help if they see your collection come to them?

sad but true this is the new normal. Hopefully someone catches these a..holes and you get some justice??

I contacted 5 different horn buyers, and contacted the Sheriff right after it happened. They made a report, and I now have a camera in my barn just incase they return.
