Wow!  Great finds!   Just curious, what kind of terrain do you like to hunt in/on?

all over, just need to know the deer and the area that I am in. BT sheds are hard to find as most west siders know.
Are those from this year?
no, last year. I have found some of the older ones this year. the one with big fronts was found January 16th last year, the other about a week later. I only posted them in relation to the scoring sheds thread I started.
The bases on these two are bigger than a beer can if that helps.

The bases are bigger around than a beer can :dunno: Are you measuring around the sticker-brow tines to get that measurment? Are you finding these sheds in Western Oregon?

That beer can is long arming that shed...   :chuckle:

Take another pic after you drink the beer and set the base on the can so they are touching.  It does look close to as big though.

first two photos are of the first shed I found of 2015

the second shedding trip I did I found an elk and deer shed about 50yds apart, strapped them to my pack, snapped a photo, happened to look to my right and guess what was laying about 15 yards away? yep, matching deer shed. first matched set I found, pretty thrilling.
