Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Don't laugh. Transporting antlers with skull attached

A few years ago I killed this 400" Caribou in Quebec. I had flown out of and back to Denver. I knew that those antlers would make B&C so I didn't split them. Then when I drove home to Montana there was no way the rack would fit inside my Subaru, so I strapped it on the roof. On my trip home, I got a lot of thumbs up, and a few people at gas stations asked if they could take a picture of it.

A couple of months later, I returned to Denver and ended up driving a new Subaru home. Just a couple of miles onto I-15, and with only 58 miles on my odometer, I was in a middle lane of that 8-lane speedway, a wood block fell off of a 18-wheel flatbed and hit just behind my windshield rear view mirror. It shattered the windshield, knocked the mirror off the glass, and put a dent in the roof just above the mirror. If I would have had those Caribou horns on top of my car that day, that block of wood would have shattered them.
