Title: Found this at work

Saw the tip of an antler outside the fence at work, and went to collect what I thought was a shed. This poor fella had some velvet on the back of the antlers, so the only thing I can figure, is he was hit by a car, and dragged himself that far before dying. Longest brow tines I've ever seen.
