Nice find!!! I spent 3/4 of the day out in tropping the Fort Lewis for Blacktail sheds with my two boys and my girlfriends two boys. The only thing we managed to find was a Racoon skull and a few large mud puddles to soad the kids in the back of my truck...  :IBCOOL:

I'd be lazer-focused on finding that buck this fall.  He's got great mass and will likely go a little nuts on that right side this year.  Cool find!

There not fresh.I found the set laying within a couple inches of eachother and they left a perfect imprint in the ground.The side that was in the ground stayed fresh looking.This area is very brushy and hilly which would make hunting it tricky.The trees are about 5-6 feet tall with a small grassy area.Theres only one way in without crashing through brush and the visibility from this side is poor.I'm thinking about cutting my own trial to a high vantage point.How would some of you experienced deer hunters go about this?Ive only shot one deer and am just starting to learn.Here's a picture of the sheds and deer I shot about half a mile away last year.

Lots of character! Very cool find!
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.
