We have all heard the stories; hard work, scouting, proper tree stand placement, practicing for longs hours with the bow or gun, and spending the time in the woods. Finally the deer hunter manages to harvest a really big buck, one for the books or just a really big unique deer with a lot of character. You know, the kind of deer that all hunters dream about harvesting.
The lucky hunter is now in the spotlight of the deer hunting world with his new found fame. Everyone wants to congratulate him, asking to see the rack, or email the harvest photos of the brute.
Then there is the magazine offers wanting exclusives on the story, and the equipment endorsements, e.t.c. you get the picture. The hunter is on cloud nine!
Suddenly the unthinkable happens, the antlers are stolen.
Some dirt bag rips off the antlers to be sold in the underground antler market or to a foreign country for a "natural" form of the blue pill. Or perhaps the antlers are mounted in some CEO's office in New York City while the new owner brags to his buddies about the hunt over a scotch on the rocks.
What is a person to do????????????
Perhaps hire BlackWater for security around your home?
Or sell the rack to a large sporting goods store after having replicas of the antlers made?
Perhaps lock the antlers in a vault?
Or display them proudly in your home or office and dare some low life to come and get them?
So far I don't have to worry about the above scenario. But should I ever be in this situation I would probably have replicas made of the antlers. I don't think I could or would sell the original rack, perhaps lock it away somewhere?
Your feedback is appreciated.
