your rarest shed find
«

I know this isn't exactly a shed, but I did find it while traveling through the goat rocks. I found the skull laying next to it. I wish I know the real story behind it but here are the two that I think may have happened. The skull and horn are really, really old ( I doctored up the horn a bit), and I found them in a very, very old camp that I stumbled acrossed, so I think either the goat went way, way down in elevation due to weather, or he was possibly shot for camp meat? I don't know? anyway, I thought I would share with you folks, maybe you just had to be there, but I thought it was pretty cool.

I would have to say a moose shed, and a 6 point bull elk shed. Both found in the 49 North unit. while bowing hunting in the same day!!! Didn't see any elk that day and thats what I was looking for. Lost several arrows shooting grouse.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

a goat horn - that's a first and really, really rare!
I found a bighorn sheep ear tag in NM, and like I mentioned in another thread, an antelope horn, also in NM during the same elk hunt. Nothing has topped the antelope horn for me personally.

over on the palouse I did find a giant 2x2 muley skull wrapped up in a barbwire fence with the rest of his bones scattered around like he was picked apart while stuck there.

I found this w/t winter skull in 2005, it was found in an area that my friend has hunted for 50 plus years and has never scene a w/t. Therefore a rare find! It would have been one awesome buck! (I left it AIL).

Haven't found too many sheds. My best is probably the 7 point shed I found in NM elk hunting. The only bummer is that it was dwarfed by the antlers on the bull we had just blown a stock on.

Not sure thats a whitie wacat just for conversation purposes. Looks like a recessed muledeer which is probably even MORE rare in this state. Absolute cool find.

The pics don't really do it justice, I'll look and see if I can find some after I disturbed it.
-Double eyeguards chewed off at a substantial diameter, ie probably taller than a Muley.
-Mainbeam chewed off but appears to have been a lot longer.
-no forks anywhere, all tines off of main?
I think whitey, but definitly considering regressed muley now.

Smallest shed about 1 1/2 inches long. I thought it was a mushroom at first glance.

I like that goat horn. I've got pronghorn sheds. Hardly ever see those.
