Post by: steen on December 15, 2009, 02:40:40 PM: found the strangest mulie shed once. The attached part was in the middle and antler went forward, maybe backward with 2 12 and 18 inch tines going up and a 5 inch fork going one way and a squared off tine uinder it. There were 2 more 2 inch points going off to the side. Must have been a regressor. Found it at 1500ft.
