Forest Finds

The deer on Bowen drop their antlers between January an March.  While hiking in early February, Ajax came across a pair of freshly dropped antlers.

It was kind of cool to find a pair.  We've come across single antlers before but never 2, and never ones that were freshly dropped.  The fleshy bone base was still clean and porous so they could not have been there very long.   I brought them home.  Good find Ajax.  What a good traildog!
