Farmer can’t keep prized antlers

Farmer can’t keep prized antlers

 

An Iowa farmer has lost his fight to keep a valuable set of antlers from a trophy whitetail deer that he claims suffered from a broken leg when he killed it out of mercy.

Conservation officers with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources seized the 14-point set of antlers in November 2013 from a garage in Marion County, Iowa, as part of an investigation into four Oklahoma men who allegedly had traveled to Iowa to illegally hunt deer without proper non-resident licenses.
