Well, I went out this morning and couldn’t believe it!! I found the other side to that big one I found a little bit ago! Couldn’t believe my eyes! This bull is a stud! But anyways here’s a picture of the other side that I found. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks again for all the great advice and encouragement!!

They were about 1/10th of a mile from each other (per my gps).

Always a thrill to find them.  Are you going to put them on a plaque?

Not sure yet, but likely.. I’ve also seen fake skulls to attach them to, to look like a euro mount as well, those look cool too.
    just kinda crazy, the whole reason I’ve been out looking so hard is to find a few deer sheds to use as a knife handle. No way I can cut up this Beaty set of sheds now! Lol.. i’ll Be back at it this weekend.
   Can’t  believe how addicting it is! I really like the fact that even if I don’t ever draw that super hard to get tag, I still have a chance at least finding some awesome trophy antlers. Really enjoying all the hiking time I’m getting in as well!

don't go after they drop. all of my shed hunting is during deer season while hunting. you have less competition and you find way more, big ones, too
You know your hunt went well when you had a shot that was unethical and you never took it, even if you never got your bull.
