I would guess that it had broke one side off... :dunno:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I have seen it before. There is always one or two that shed way before the rest. I saw a muley that had shed in November last year and then my nephew found the sheds. They had fresh blood on them so there was no doubt. I figure Shane knows what he was lookin at. Shane you should give it a day or so and go find em before they get covered up with snow.

It shed, we could see the bloody pedicle, totaly normal to start seeing whitetails dropping in early Dec, taken 3 bucks in the last few years in Dec where the antlers shed. I expect to see some this weekend off.

Based on the fact that Huntnphools Moose had allready shed before the end of Nov it doesn't surprise me at all.

The earliest w/t shed I've ever found was on Jan 8th on the snake river. Still had blood on it. My buddy found the match 2 hours later.
