Fresh cast antler.

Dog and I went walking up the paddock alongside one of the home creeks in the pre dawn light this morn.
We had a date with those two stags up on the bush edge/wallow.
He, as usual went looking around in the dark and then appeared next to me with what I thought was a filthy rotten bit of leg bone in the poor light.
He trotted along with me with it in his gob and then I had another look and Fk me its a castie... holy **** its red hot with the blood still on it,how good is that!. It is still wet from the dewey grass.
Not a hair was seen except the bristle on the cast end!


As good as it gets for fresh!
I am chuffed as too.

Quite a find - can only just have been cast and maybe lost as Mr Stag left in a hurry!

Full marks to the dog too!
 
Good find dog.
A mate rolled a stag a couple of weeks ago and as it hit the ground the antlers were cast.
I've heard of this before and seen pictures of an antlerless stag lying within a metre of his cast antlers after being shot.
Can anyone tell me the process for this to happen? I don't believe in coincidences.
Sharkey, you must have a clue.

Yep! The stag was ready to cast at that time and the antlers took the moment of the fall to drop off.
They were coming off no matter whether shot with a .22 or a 300.
