A long time friend of mine, Ed Knipp, had his cabin at Mule Park, off the Lk Mary Rd, broken into recently. The criminal that broke in tore his place up real bad and took some very precious antlers from him. The idiot cut all the antlers from the mounts and did some very disturbing things to them and other mounts in the house. Anyway, I'll add pictures as I can. These two are the only ones I have and they suck. They're sending me some better ones soon. This buck Ed killed back in the early 90's in UT, I think it scored around 206". It's a basic 4x4 with an extra in-line point in the back fork of the buck's right antler. The buck wasn't that wide, I'm guessing around 24-26". HUGE G-4's of around 14" I think. This coues buck was also taken. It measures around 110-112" if I remember right. Big left antler and a weak front fork on the right side. By the time they'd found out they'd been broken into it had been a while since the guy had left. He had taken an ax and broke the doors out of the place and animals had taken residence in the house. He only took antlers as far as they told me and left easy guns and other valuable items alone for some reason. Vandalized the heck out of the cabin with a fire extinguisher and cut legs off of the smaller mounts like suirrels etc. Urinated in the cookie jar also. The whitetail buck's shoulder mount, sans the antlers, was left in the refridgerator. Spooky stuff. Anyway, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated and keep in mind the reward. Thanks.

What a fantastic archery buck! That buck on the couch aint no slouch either 😎

HOLY BUCKETS!!! Congrats to all you guys, all great trophies!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!🤣🤣

I'll go $400. Congrats on a nice find! Josh

Oh man that is fantastic!! Squirrels were made for kids to shoot IMO Thanks for sharing proud dad

I knew he'd paid something for them but he didn't really want anything for them since I told him they were stolen. I offered him $30 for them and he was very happy to get that and happy that I knew of the deer and whom it belonged to. He told me the name of the guy but I'd never heard of him. He came back a week later to sell some more and I asked him again and he said the same name so I'm pretty sure it wasn't this guy that stole them. But I still can't remember the name. LOL! Kelly something...

Awfully nice of you Amanda 😉

True story Taylor

Good news good news! 11 years ago I started this thread and I'm happy to say that it has come to an end. 2 weeks ago while buying some antlers off a man from Cottonwood I immediately recognized a set of muley antlers in the pile. I pulled them out and recognized them within seconds. I looked at him and said where in the heck did you get these?! He told me about buying them off a man from Camp Verde about 5 or 6 years ago. I then told him how they were stolen from my friends cabin and how the cabin had been vandalized so bad. I called my friend Ed immediately and told him that I had his Utah muley. He couldn't believe it!! Yesterday I met him and gave them back to him. Needless to say he was very very happy! Josh

Sheesh!! A better picture of those brutes would be sweet. Was that taken with my Dad's old flip phone?

Is that cactus juice on that thing? Is that also a 3rd antler nearly connected on the base of the right antler by chance?
