    • 2005, Dennis Walrod, Antlers: a guide to collecting, scoring, mounting, and carving:
      In most parts of the United States, only about one out of five roadkilled deer will be an antlered buck . . . and by the next day, it will still be a dead buck, but it won't still be antlered if someone else has beaten you to it.
