A couple years ago, a kid I know was deer hunting over by moses lake in the general season. He shot a nice buck, it ran into some brush and a doe came out the other side and tipped over. He got up to it and at first was extremely upset, thinking he had shot a doe somehow. It had dropped its antlers while behind that brush I guess. He found them and they were just like fresh sheds with the bloody peds. This was in october, and a mature buck. Maybe too mature?? :dunno:

My earliest shed prior to this:

I was snowmobiling looking for cougar tracks on Dec 20 and found where a buck had stuck his antlers in the snowmobile trail and left them both side by side, stuck in the snow, just like he left them. Wished I had a photo, it was pretty cool looking. It was a nice buck too!

Moose usually shed first.  When I lived in Montana, a neighbor shot what he thought was an antlerless(cow) moose, it was a bull that had shed both sides.  This event happened the last weekend of the season, right after thanksgiving.

It was early ML season a few years ago..... Found a small 3 point shed.... Probably a benchleg..... Looked like it was at least a few years old though...  :chuckle:  So I've got you all beat so far right????   :dunno:   Not chewed on or anything.... Just bleached out on both sides!!!     :chuckle:

I found a matching ste of whitetail sheds at my stand on December 13th 2008. The buck actually came in that night and I should have shot him but passed.
