![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-65783-262741-skull_1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-65783-262742-skull_2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-65783-262743-skull_3.jpg) I've been lucky enough to find some nice skulls and a truckload of shed antlers during my years of managing some large ranches. Anyone else ever found a big ol good un that died of old age?

Here is a 5 to 6 yr collection of rut and post rut mortalities along with some that died of hoof rot off a ranch I managed. One or two of these could have died of old age.

I have found lots of skull caps with nub left from coyotes and other varmints chewing them down to nothing...a few had enough top teeth left to see their age and they were old but could not say they died of old age, post rut mortality or just predators go them.

Government has nothing to give but what they have taken or will take away.

The 10 point was a buck I shot in the shoulder with my bow in 2015 and never recovered. I found the skull in 2017 in an area of the lease my brother had moved into. Had he not gotten that spot I would have never recovered them. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-6488-262755-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-6488-262756-5.jpg)
