Link does not work

So sorry to hear that. Scumbags everywhere it seems like

Unless those deer are REALLY large record book deer they are not worth much to sell

The best place to sell those things if that is what they are going to with them are to bars restaurants and home and office decorators. I used to buy and sell lots of that stuff. They are very valuable to the owner but past that not much

Good luck!!

Your link isn't working, BOW-MAN.

I'm so sorry for your loss. How does one die from a knee operation, anyway? I hope you find his mounts, and the thieves are caught and prosecuted.

Get those pics up. We seed if these mounts turn up.

Just like GG to know more than a bacteria infection.

Yep, bacteria can be deadly.

We keep an eye out Scott in central TN when in town.

Like the others said sorry for the loss, I live in Kingsport TN and travel to Chattanooga quite often for work and I’m a sucker for local bars and outdoor shops so I’ll keep my eyes and ears open and get some pics posted so we can catch the scum bags.

was that the only thing taken?

If so, I'd look around and make sure it wasn't a family member or friend that laid claim to them.

Post them up here- also get them on facebook in your neck of the woods - that will help more than anything. If your not on FB surely you know someone close to you that is - people can share your posting and thousands of folks in your area will see it. Good luck and sorry for your loss.

Likely sawed the antlers off and sold them for the bone value. Easier to quickly get rid of that way. You should check with any antler buyers in the area. That really sucks, and I'm sorry for the loss of your brother.

A friend who was a worldwide hunter had his entire massive trophy room wiped out by thieves. LEO never found any of the mounts. Not sure what people do with this stuff after they steal it. It's not like electronics or tools they can pawn.

They had to be the least valuable things monetarily in the home. Senseless. Shame.
