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.

I looked over Ducks(antlerkings) pile but didn't note it being in there.

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