Nice find! There's some great bucks hiding in these WKoot mountains, hard to find sometimes though. Could you find a bigger picture next time? ;)

Looks like a nice buck, but I can only see part of it at a time. The pic is huge.
Is it my computer or what?

Considering only the nose cartilage has been chewed off and no rodents have chewed on the antlers, I'd guess one full season in the sun for the bleaching so <2 yrs?? Just a guess, hard to tell from the pics. Are there any meaty dried scraps left on the skull? Nice buck by the way!

None, just bare bone. Figured it may be a few years old... still can't believe it was all in tact and not chewed up

What a great find !

You could prep the those nicely with a clear coat or protector and have a real dandy european mount.
