Did he find it like that, or was it on a body?
If it’s the former, I can tell you exactly how it died. Hunter shoots a big buck out of season, gets scared and doesn’t want to get caught, but still doesn’t want to waste the meat. So, he cuts the head off before leaving the field and ditches it. A pretty dispicable act, but it happens frequently.
Whoa there Sherlock of the hills. While the scenario you described does occur and may have in this case, that great buck could have just died of old age. “I can tell you exactly how it died,” is a tad presumptuous.

When you find a buck skull all by itself, the cause is usually the same. Vanderlaan showed that this wasn’t the case, so yes it probably died of old age. I did premise my conclusion as to not exclude a natural death, so there is really no need to jump to name-calling.
Don’t be so sensitive, I just called you Sherlock not @$$hole. (seriously guy kidding just kidding). But, often when poaching has occurred for a ‘trophy animal’ the horns are sawed off and the carcass with all that good meat is what is found wasted.

lol “sherlock of the hills” isn’t really name calling. I don’t know exactly what it could be classes as, but it sure is funny.
if i was mothing off while driving a boat and someone saiid “aho there skipper”
i would feel a bit embarressed, and then laugh.

I was referring to the presumptuous part. But anyways, it’s not really an issue.
