that's definitely true, they also lighten up the longer the deer packs them in the spring without rubbing much.

I saw 4 muley bucks on base during lunch today.  A 4x4, two 4x3's, and a forky.  The bigger ones were also pushing each other around.  First time I'd seen that, ever.  Pretty cool.

Spokaneslayer,
I assume you are talking about that little muley herd out on the FAFB airfield, right?  I haven't seen them this year, but last year I know they had a couple of healthy looking 3X3s.  Did they grow up?  I'll bet if they did they are good bucks this year..

This was in the field by the sports range and EOD, but they are probably the same ones.  I've seen bigger ones out here, but not lately.  There was also a herd of about 30 white-tails, no horns in the bunch.

its a simple thing. take a dark fresh antler and put it in the desert and check on it 6 monthes later. IT WILL BE LIGHTER. THE DEER HAVE NO COVER THE SUN BBEATS DOWN ON THEM ITS A NO BRAINER. if you have cover you have dark antlers if you dont you have lighter ones . many variables here depending on there surroundings.

A lot depends on the types of vegetation/trees as well.  Blacktails and Roosevelt elk rub on red alder, for example, which gives that rich mahogany coloring.  A whitetial rubbing on pines and hardhack brush will not stain antlers as dark.

I went out and helped a friend of mine fix a covered patio that got a little messed up from all the snow earlier in the year today.  He said he was up checking out an adjacent piece of property to his that he was thinking of buying.  Found a big heavy three point shed that was from this year.  Saw it in an opening while he was riding his 4-wheeler.  Now i am gonna have to go out tomorrow and take a walk, I'll post if i find any. :)

Ha!  I WISH!!  That's Southeast Washington dirt.  Montana is gonna make a few bucks off me this year though.  At least in bonus point fees if nothing else.  Maybe I have a chance for Antelope...  For deer I just want to start building points.  I am going to study my copy of Eastman's MRS like it's my friggin' job tonight...
