I hunted Camp Pendleton Saturday in the rain. It was way to muddy to access my assigned area by four wheels so I had to hump it in. While passing through a recently burned area I saw what looked like two drop tines pointing up. As I walked closer I see a skull too. Grabbed an antler and pulled it from the ground and it was a natural European mount 3x3. I suspect the old boy was shot and ran off to this steep slope covered with heavy brush before the fire. A mountain lion either finished him off or found him, ate the choice parts and buried the skull. I'm not sure how I plan to display it and open to suggestions.
I saw a legal buck two does, went mud'n, hiked eight miles, just an awesome day.
Looking for advice on generally where to scout in McCain Valley.
