Nice one mate!

 

[Nice65]

Indeed, excellent

 

[bopdude]

What a find, are you going to mount it somewhere ?

 

[Madriverrob]

What a find .........

 

[MartiniDave]

Very nice find, and potentially very useful.

 

[johnnythefox]

nice one, any plans?

 

[barbourdurham]

I'm planning on mounting the beast. But I have no idea on how to. Google will be my friend. By counting the tines, it's a 14 pointer, but I may be wrong?

Good find, look class mounted, should be a pretty easy job to do.

May be an obvious question: but where is the rest of it?

It'll be in a freezer or long digested by now. The heads are often left for nature to clean up, and then forgotten about. I found a huge Fallow skull and antlers a few years ago in the middle of a bramble thicket I was clearing.

More disturbing was picking my way through thick scrub to find a small, dark clearing with dozens of skulls threaded on bailer twine. That was macabre. It was midsummer and it took me a while to take in the stink and the buzz of thousands of flies. Fair freaked me out.

Grrr. I once left a couple of heads in a deserted spot where nobody should have been, for nature to pick clean, for my later use and somebody lifted them. I had tied them to a tree to make sure no animal carried them off too.

Was extremely hacked off. Was my first Fallow too.

Looks like an ex-red deer. How far south are you?

That would have been an old gibbet line. We used to do it when i was keepering

That was my thought too: its a common enough practice (though more often left up trees than at ground level) and I'd be surprised if someone just left such a fine trophy head without intending to reclaim it.

Cracking find.
