Thread: Gutted.

So I buried my first and only tahr head in the corner of the garden to let the worms do their work. While not the biggest set set, but a respectable 11”. I was suitably stoked as a first.
I checked on the head about a month ago and found the horns nice and loose so took them off to continued the rotting process. I left the head in the ground, and put the horns on the fence rail right next to them.

I went back last week for an update, and found the horns nowhere to be seen. I have searched high and low, but found nothing. I even interrogated them bribed my children with no luck.

I have two theories.

1. Some sort of animal has taken off with them, though the head is buried just below so I think that is unlikely.

2. Some light fingered kyunt has smelled the good smell and popped their head over the fence, seen the horns and helped themselves. My section backs into the top10, so this seems like the most likely. Though I thought I had concealed it reasonably well under a tree.

Looks like I’ll just have to go out and shoot another one I guess.
