    I found two antelope sheds next to one another in Montana.  After showing them off at camp it turned out to be two lefts.

do they shed the whole horn or just the sheath?
i always thought they shed and regrew the sheath only.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The way I understand it is they shed the sheath and it's rare to find them because they deteriorate fairly fast in the elements.  :dunno: Could be wrong but this is the way it was explained to me.

yes, it's the hair-like sheath.  Pretty rare find.  I found an old thunderhead broadhead and an indian arrowhead the same day...strange.

Love the red mud all over the truck, brings back some good memories of elk hunting!  Looks fun!
