Title: 109 3/8" Muley Shed - Absolutely Massive
Post by: Buglinbulls on March 31, 2009, 12:36:53 PM: A friend of a friend picked up this incredible shed in central Washington. We put a tape on it last night and it scored 109 3/8". He hasn't been able to find the other side, but multiply this side by two and add a 28" inside spread credit (we estimated a 38" outside spread) and this buck would go roughly 246 6/8". Even more incredible is that only 8 4/8" of the 109" are from extras - the frame is just awesome. You've got to see this shed in person to appreciate the mass - congrats to the lucky sucker that picked it up.

Post by: Hornseeker on March 31, 2009, 08:10:00 PM: Oh man... what can anyone say about that!!! So... his horn is still at over 100" without the trash!!!!!!!!

If the other side was fairly symmetrical... say...had the same frame... and had 8-10 inches of trash...and he was 28 wide on the inside.. this deer could actually score 228+ :o :o :o

WTF? Washington!!?!???!!!????

I've seen and held Doug's bone many times :o :yike:

And let me tell you... its unreal!! :chuckle:

Post by: Buglinbulls on April 01, 2009, 09:36:00 AM: YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS!!!

I called the guy that found this shed this morning to tell him about all of the comments that have been made. I joked with him about how everyone was asking about "where" the shed was found.

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID:

This is the most un-greedy person I have ever talked to about shed hunting. He said that he was so disappointed about not being able to find the other side after hours of looking, that he just wants someone to find the other side before the critters totally have their way with it. HE WANTS TO HAVE ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT CAN, go out and look for the match, so that we can see just how big this guy really is.

He told me right where he picked this side up - I was looking on Google Earth as we were talking, and here are the GPS coordinates for right where he found this awesome shed:

40 deg. 44' 14" North
74 deg. 10' 55" West

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE, BUT LET'S GET OUT THERE AND FIND THE MATCH!!!

Post by: boneaddict on April 01, 2009, 09:38:38 AM: I'm guessing April fools are in order or someone needs to take this guy to the doctor. Do I dare look at the coordinates...and if its one of my favorite places to go I THINK I"LL KILL HIM

Post by: Buglinbulls on April 01, 2009, 09:43:04 AM: I didn't even realize it was April Fools Days - awful timing I guess

Take the info for what it's worth, I know I'm leaving this afternoon - so good luck

Post by: Pathfinder101 on April 01, 2009, 09:47:49 AM: ...can't connect to google earth on the work computer. Are you sure these aren't the coordinates to somewhere on East Sprauge in Spokane...? :chuckle:
This would be a good April Fools joke if it isn't...

Post by: boneaddict on April 01, 2009, 09:50:06 AM: :chuckle: Yeah, no google earth here anyway. I swear if its where I was headed this weekend withthe Mrs I'll become severly violent.

Bone have you ever posted a pic of that antler on here? I think I remembered seeing it on that other site a few years ago? Not sure if it was yours or not.

Post by: boneaddict on April 01, 2009, 10:11:51 AM: I think just of its eyeguard, an dmaybe of my daughter with it outside casually. I need to get some good ones. I hope to find a genetic equivalent this weekend if I can keep the flu bug from going rampant in my house. The Mrs and I were supposed to go, but Lil Bone has Flu B, and my throat is scratchy. :bash:

You can't ruin it for everyone. I wanted to see how many people would book flights to Newark, New Jersey to go look for a mule deer shed.

Oh well, I hope at least a few of you fell for it and checked the coordinates.
