Huge 8 by 7 sheds
« on: March 19, 2009, 08:43:16 PM »
Found this match set today, they were about 1/2 mile apart, lucky for snow and being able to stay on fresh trails.  You can't exactly see the 8th point on the one antler but there is 3 that fork off the main beam then another one branches off one of the forks, quite the odd ball bull.

Looks like Indian John Hill area?

It does look like that area doesn't it, but its actually about 7-8 miles to the west of there, its on private land, and most land around the lower section of this is private.  These bulls, i'm pretty sure hide in some nasty stuff during the season.  I was hoping to run into this bull during my season this past year.  My buddy found one side of him last year and he grew quite a bit since then. 

awesome set! have you gross scored them yet?

Haven't grossed them yet, will eventually, comparing that to the bull i got this past year that scored right around 350 i'd say he'll score bigger than that, he's got more mass,more points, and his 3rds are longer than mine, although my main beams i think are longer than these, but i'm horrible and judging them. 

Nice looking sheds!  So now what are you going to do with them?

Probably going to have them put together and hang them on the wall, they're too nice of a set to just toss in a shed or make a lamp etc... out of.

love private property :rolleyes:  try to find something on public and lets c how u do
 nice lookin sheds, but u ruined it for me once someone said private property.
Sorry i dont control where the elk go, just cause its on private property doesn't mean you're always destined to find them when there's thick brush, timber, swamps, etc...  Or would you rather have me chase them off the private property on to the adjacent public land just to make you feel better, give me a break, it's no different than finding them on public land except the fact that you have to compete with hundreds of other people on public land.  And for your information I do fine locating sheds on public land when i actually go out which isn't all that often.

i don't see anything wrong or less cool about private land sheds. what should he have done? not picked them up? not took pictures? i don't get it.

more than a couple of the shed hunting supermen are picking them up on private.

congrats on some great finds.

Great set cougeyes!! I am surprised they were so far apart! Nice to have tracking snow! Great G-1s, G-3s and G-4s and 5s. Pretty cool how his extra points come off right at his G5s. His main beams don't look real long but I bet he is closer to 380 than 350! He could be over 380 with G-1s and G-3s like that. I bet you were really excited!!! You should score em and let us know. Good job and don't let the private property comment bother you.

I thought by looking at them they would go 365 with a 40 inch inside. Kind of hard to tell.

Might be Curtis, I thought the same thing but after further inspection I went with 365. Mains are kind of short so it is a decieving bull. Those extras add up though.

You guys all have "bone envy".  :chuckle:

I have yet to look for or find an elk shed. Tons of muley sheds though..... Being larger, it must be pretty cool seeing one laying way off and you probably take off on a run to get to it? Sounds like fun.
