that thing is nasty.. Fresh finds?

SemperFidelis97 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 23, 2015, 08:49:13 PM »

Wow that is one unique bull, imagine how he will look this year.

Dan-o · « **Reply #6 on:** February 23, 2015, 08:51:25 PM »

That eye guard is AWESOME!!!!

QUESTION: And I'm not picking a fight - just curious. How sure are you that the other two are a matched set? The one on the far left just looks bigger to me, but I am by no means an expert.... just curious.

Great finds!

It looks like the 2 on the ends are the set?

Spawnstar · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2015, 09:18:58 PM »

Nice find

fishnfur · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2015, 10:14:32 PM »

Very cool. Nice finds. I looked for couple of hours today. Lot's of fresh tracks, no bones.

Duh...... Now that I look at the end two, they look more like a set..... I feel pretty smart.

wow thats a good one

M_ray · « **Reply #12 on:** February 24, 2015, 03:49:45 AM »

Thats crazy! But when I look at them they dont look like a match

no big deal still would be cool to find the 3!!!

longwalker · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2015, 05:01:35 AM »

For a minute I thought you picked up the set from a bull I've been watching until I saw where you live. I'm hoping to find some real similar antlers here I'm the next few weeks. Nice one

Watimberghost · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2015, 05:48:56 AM »

That is crazy! One of the best things about shed hunting, you never know what you'll find

TommyH · « **Reply #15 on:** February 24, 2015, 05:50:23 AM »

Nice finds!

grundy53 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2015, 05:57:15 AM »

Cool find!

Duckhunter14 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2015, 09:25:27 AM »

These last years sheds? These aren't fresh brown from this year yet are they? At least not from the eastside...or are they early this year?

Watimberghost · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2015, 09:39:37 AM »

I've heard of one drop on the eastside. Crazy early

NOCK NOCK · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2015, 09:30:07 PM »

Curious, are you getting ready to mount them on a form? Zooming in on the long eyeguard one's pedicle, it appears to be cut off/puttyed/sanded/???

maybe it just looks funny when its zoomed in on.

AntlerHound · « **Reply #20 on:** February 24, 2015, 09:47:56 PM »

appears to be cut.....

blackveltbowhunter · « **Reply #21 on:** February 24, 2015, 10:37:27 PM »

that's a sweet find! Stud bull. Have you had eyes on this bull? It seems early still for fresh drops off bulls in any number, especially off Westside bulls, but I know every locale can vary quite a bit. Congrats again.

Looks like it just has a goofy pedicle to me. Could be part of the reason that eyeguard grew so long. Any little deficiency can cause drastic damage or unique growth. Cool finds, but I am dying to know if they're fresh from this year…?

You sir....are not the only one....

fishngamereaper · « **Reply #24 on:** February 25, 2015, 08:33:36 AM »

Nice finds...they look like this years to me. Could be wrong. They are super clean, no sun bleaching, no chew marks...etc.

-Trap_addicT- · « **Reply #25 on:** March 01, 2015, 06:05:48 PM »

Hey bendotti, I was looking through some old threads (2011) and saw these photos that hunterofelk posted. I don't know if two horns were found in the same area and it's been a long time in between them, but you would think it has be the same genetics. I thought it was interesting… Check it out..

hunterofelk · « **Reply #26 on:** March 02, 2015, 05:28:12 PM »

It does look like the one I found. Be cool if it was from same bull. We'll probably never know.

I figured you guys could share information via personal messaging about the location. That's just such a unique browtine. There can't be too many bulls sporting one like that. Let me know if anything comes of it, I would be very interested in knowing. How long is the browtine on yours?

hunterofelk · « **Reply #28 on:** March 03, 2015, 03:40:25 AM »

It is about 30 inches. My favorite antler in the pile. I was so tempted to ask if anyone has seen or killed a bull with such a long brow tine, but knew it would give away the location where I like to shed hunt.

shedkid · « **Reply #29 on:** March 03, 2015, 07:46:09 PM »

I've found 2, 5 points with about 22in eyeguards

NOCK NOCK · « **Reply #30 on:** March 03, 2015, 08:27:18 PM »

lets see em shedkid

shedkid · « **Reply #31 on:** March 04, 2015, 07:04:15 AM »

Thinking these two may be the same bull. I found them around 100yards from the other one in two different years?

NOCK NOCK · « **Reply #32 on:** March 04, 2015, 08:54:25 AM »

Nice! they sure look like they could be from the same bull.

Duckhunter14 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2015, 10:37:09 AM »

I took some video of a pretty unique bull this past fall with some similar genetics. I don't believe they were even near 30'' but still pretty impressive none the less.
