Title: The rest of the story.
Post by FredC on Jun 26th, 2020 at 11:03pm
referencing post #192 on page 13 of this thread. I cut the antler off flush, then finished plowing the rest of the field. I found what I hope to be the rest of the antler that was embedded in the tire. If not the same one then I have another one out there waiting to poke another tire. Mostly find shed antlers near a fence, this one was in the middle of the field.
I had a repairman come out to fix the tire on the tractor. The end of the antler intruded into the tube by less than 1/8 inch. The end that the repairman knocked of the tire is about 1" long. I spent a couple hours helping the fellow get the inside bead separated from the rim and it still cost about $450.00 to repair.

The second photo is a deer I found between the shop and the road. Road shooting slob shot it from the highway. Looked in the north wall of the shop and did not find any bullet holes. There is a fairly thick pocket of brush in between that probably stopped the slug. The teeth on this guy are very worn so he was probably in his prime a few years ago but still had fairly impressive antlers when he met the slob.  At least I will not ruin another tire on him!
