[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2628921, member: 115658"] My story: I had just returned to CONUS after 3 years of Navy service at sea & PI/Vietnam. These guys I just met liked me & offered to take me on a hunting trip to the Book Cliffs in Utah in [U]1967[/U]. I had a .257 AI. Anyhow on the last day of the hunt I got a chance at a big mule deer. A nice 350-yard shot worked. After the hunt I sawed off the horns & shipped them back to my parents' house in Massachusetts. I arrived back there sometime later and started to work on my deer horns, but my mom insisted that I work on them outside on our patio. After a day of prep. work we left for some reason & when we returned the horns were missing. My dad was highly PO'd & we reported the theft to local LE with a photo. The officer who took the report asked if the deer was shot in Maine. Some 10 years later I was back in Massachusetts for my Dad's memorial service in [U]1977[/U], I saw my deer horns mounted on the hood of a local plumber's truck. When I asked the plumber where his deer horns came from, he replied, Maine, "real big deer there". Big creepy lying thief back there. [/QUOTE]
