What a find!
I have not personally come across anything such as this, but there are stories out there about these things. I believe there was a more recent (last couple of years) story from Ohio or somewhere east that two bucks were found in a river after being locked up and they both were dead. Maybe someone else can offer some other stories...

When I was in the 5th grade in Uvalde, my teacher had a locked double buck corner mount with one buck hung on each wall....it was from bucks they found dead on her ranch....I always thought it was very kool to mount them in the corner on separate walls....if I remember right it was a large typical 12pt and 10pt....they were huge bucks to me..... Very impressive!
