cool discovery with some questions

[maximum chaos]

im surprised that if it sat for that long that nothing would have disturbed it.

I can't really see what color are the antlers. If there are pretty white it has been seating there for a few years for sure. It also takes a few years for the squirrel and mice to get to the antlers too. Probably gun shot, hit by a car or drown....
Really cool find!
