Deer antler
8 3/4 circumference

The color and location of the eyeguard says deer.
Interesting find.

How do you confirm the species of an antler (mule deer blacktail whitetail elk)?
I've spent quite a bit of time in this area and have never seen an elk or sign of an elk. I wish there were elk here it would save me some gas money. When I get time I'll try and find the other side.

The length says elk.
The color and location of the eyeguard says deer.
Interesting find.
:yeah:

Any reason why you say Blacktail?
I have heard that the smell is what gives it away

Somebodies elk sightings
Somebodies opinion
I've hunted this area for many years
How can you tell
The length is obviously absurd if it's a buck and this is why I shared it with you otherwise I would not have posted a pic of a spike bull shed

Okay okay the elk have moved in maybe I should try a different blacktail areaI wouldn't say they've moved in. Though it looks like you had one wander through a year or so ago...

Unless you're on the peninsula(?), odds seem much better it's from an elk. If so, then maybe it could be that freaky BT.
Post by: youngbull on April 05, 2017, 09:01:52 PM
I remember 15 or so years ago a guy claimed he had a monster blacktail and had it scored only to find out it was a mule deer. He had his pic in wa,oregon magazine with a,ruler inside his rack.
Post by: Timberstalker on April 05, 2017, 09:04:39 PM
The more I look at it I think it's a Columbia Whitetail Shed. That's just my opinion. ;)

If that green belt is located around JBLM, their is more elk showing up in that area every year.

Glad to share such a unique find
Not sure about the elk though where have you seen them :archery_smiley:

I think its most likely a freak deer shed too. It would be a weird looking elk spike shed. around where I live the spikes would be a lot thicker all the way up and the big base is strange also. Thanks for posting it cool find regardless!
I agree.

It is an elk shed.....the chances of a spike wandering into an area in Pierce County not known for elk is fairly high.............the chances of a blacktail buck regressing and then putting all the energy into a long spike is extremely low.....when they regress they may go from a 3 or 4 pt to a 2 pt but the antler shape stays mostly the same...Exactly. I think Occam's Razor applies in this instance.
Good find....

For comparative analysis, here are some pierce county green belt sheds as well. Found on private property that holds elk most of the year.
Yup :tup:. Elmerfudd you should change your handle to Columbo

I don't know if your shed is an elk or a deer, but it's a cool find though.
