One that got away...
« on: March 17, 2012, 12:56:44 AM »
Anyone end up finding this guy's sheds? I had tabs on him up to a few days before he dropped and then again after, and spent a decent amount of time looking but never found him... if you don't want to post, you can send me a message... I'd love to see the horns in person... could give ya some fairly decent photos of him! 7 points on that one side and 5 on the other counting the eyeguards... beautiful horns for someone's collection!




I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

His left is pretty unique... the extra off the back fork and the crab claw off the front tine... I figure if someone found that side it'd be pretty obvious. :)

That guy is a brute.....Try again. I'm gonna head out next weekend for four days to see if I could find a few whitetail sheds that people may have missed.
Just one more day

 Good luck! They're both nice deer but the big one is a stud.

Darn Hirshey, I was hoping you were going to find them.   I'm glad you finally posted this fella on here.

Yeah I was really hoping he would come home with me, too... I spent over a week JUST on him and paid the price in my normal haunts... Chased boot tracks the rest of the season. I even had my mom and another hunt-wa member help me try to find them.. I'm pretty sure they are already a proud addition to someone elses collection.

Still a chance to find them.  Notice how many white antlers are in people's antler piles?  Easy to walk right by them.

When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.
