Now this is a true trophy deer...

Holy shite

IWCI - I would cull it.

Think I saw one of them in the movie about the battle of the 5 (or six) armies.

I wonder what a skull mount like that cost.

Not sure if it's bullshite or not, but supposedly they're trying to clone them from DNA like the Pyrenean Ibex (which was successfully brought to term in 2003 but died shortly after)

"The biggest obstacle in de-extinction right now is finding surrogates to give birth to animals that have long been extinct. With the method being researched currently, DNA from the extinct animal is placed in the embryo of a modern-day counterpart that’s similar enough to carry the baby clone to term. In the case of prehistoric animals like the Irish elk, part of the megacerine family of giant deer, the problem gets even harder—where do you find a modern deer that can give birth to something that will grow to a height of two meters (about seven feet) with 4.2-meter (14 ft) antlers?

As it turns out, sometimes you just need to look in your back yard. Researchers at University College London discovered the closest relative to the Irish Elk was none other than the fallow deer, which is relatively common in England and Ireland. They’re now mapping the DNA from a 13,000-year-old Irish elk fossil in the hopes of bringing one back from the grave in the near future."
