Visited Ripley’s Believe it or Not! in Niagara Falls (I get in for free) and I was excited to see the Unicorn Deer I sold them several years ago!
I also talked to the hunter and a deer injury specialist to write about this deer for Ripley’s. Learn about it here!
Once a hunter had this box of skulls for $10 each and one was a fucking unicorn, which I then sold to Ripley’s for $300 and they also just published my article explaining the science behind the cervicorn
This buck was shot with a 4-blade broad head and lived to grow new bone around the injury. The entire broad head was inside the brain cavity. (via Tim’s Wildlife Recreations on Facebook)
Through scholarships and selling my bone collection, I am 80% of the way to paying for my summer internship! (Fingers crossed for Nat Geo!!) To help me get closer, I am auctioning off my lovely, beloved, and 100% unique, real, not-a-gaff uni-deer skull! This strange unicorn horn was probably caused by an injury, and since it has no pedicle would have never shed. It is so weird and asymmetrical! Bidding starts at $10, and I would greatly appreciate any bids and signal boosts. :)
Auctions are held Fridays 8pm-12midnight East Coast, and 5pm-9pm West Coast in the Bone Hunters Trading Post Facebook group. I’ll be auctioning that and a vintage black-morph red fox stole on Friday, 4/22/16. US Only. To find out how to join the group, you can Google Bone Hunters trading post, which should take you to my post on it, or you can click here. Thank you so much!
EDIT: THIS IS THE LINK FOR YOU TO CLICK TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE AUCTION! It only works if you are a member of BHTP, so click here to find out how to join!
An asymmetrical cervine unicorn skull I got on Craigslist! Not a gaff, this is how he was in life, except for the sawed-off muzzle and maxilla. Probably a result of an injury.
