Shad had mixed emotions in this pic.......    Those sheds would have looked great in his collection.

[Antlerking]

The sheds will look way better on your wall

There are about 200 -300- sheds to find according to what we saw.

I just wish I had his set from last year so you could see the growth.

One hell of a wall hanger.

[BrownGoinDown]

WOW WOW and WOW.

Just amazing. That one will hit a magazine for sure, too good not to!

RaffleMule, when the emotions settle and you get back out to shoot that rifle, I'll be curious to know what you find out, weird stuff. I've heard similar things happening though it extreme conditions.

Anyway, congrats again. Cherish this one man, you bring the emotions out in what you write and you definitely did this tag justice!

  Beautiful buck forsure.   So no one had ever seen this guy before or picked up any sheds from him?  The incline of the hill in the photo with antlerking looks like it must have been a fun pack out straight up, haha good times.
