LAST EDITED ON Oct-25-13 AT 12:13PM (MST)[p]I am looking for some help from all of you in recovering a mule deer that was stolen from a taxidermist shop in Northern Utah County.
My cousin?s son killed his first mule deer this fall on the Utah Muzzleloader hunt. The buck was a trophy for many reasons. First, as you can see in the photos, it's a 29? perfect 4 point that scored around 175.? As I'm sure you all can appreciate, any kid would be absolutely thrilled to take that kind of a deer as their first buck. Alot of sentimental value with this deer as well.
Unfortunately the buck was stolen from the taxidermist shop in Northern Utah County. Now, his family is trying to either recover the buck and find those responsible for stealing it, or replicate the horns from other antlers/sheds that are similar.
Here?s what we are asking:
1) If any person has information about this deer or those responsible for stealing it, please send me a PM here on Monster Muleys, or call/text his Dad at 801-360-9764. There is a reward being offered by the family for information leading to the recovery of this buck and any information would be greatly appreciated
2) If any of you have a set of antlers or sheds that look similar to this buck, the family would be willing to pay to borrow those antlers to make a mold/replica to give to their son. Your antlers/sheds would be returned to you with much appreciation.
3) We could also use any recommendations on someone in Utah that does a good job with antler replicas.
Again, any information and/or help that could be provided in either the recovery of this deer or for the use of a set of antlers or sheds to make a replica would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone in advance.
