Title: 2006 Sheds Finally Mounted
Post by: Slayerz on March 15, 2011, 09:31:41 PM: I found these sheds my first year of serious shed hunting in 2006, they were about 3/4 of a mile apart. I was able to find one and then went back looking and found the other side the next day. I did not realize the size at that point since I was new at judging sheds. That year I was able to find 76 sheds, and that has not happened since. Anyway, I will get them scored again, but as a very novice scorer, they were around 200 gross.

Well the beauty about the mount is it is only costing me a bass fishing trip with the taxi (father in law). Pretty good deal if you ask me :)

That is a once in a lifetime matched set. Very nice!

When I found this set, that is exactly what I thought, but for me it is now twice in a lifetime. The link is to the set I picked up this year, the sets were found in two different counties and not ajoining (so not the same gene pool). The taxi is saving a cape for them of an old buck, says it will cost me another fishing trip ;)

Title: Re: 2006 Sheds Finally Mounted (Updated With Score)
Post by: Slayerz on March 18, 2011, 10:58:28 PM: I took the mount into the big horn show and got them measured, the right is 90 2/8 and the left is 88 7/8, so with a 19 inch spread, very close to 200 inches gross. Net non-typical is 173 4/8 without a spread credit, if only I could shoot one like this! If you happen to go to the big horn show, check them out.

Post by: Decker on April 11, 2011, 09:02:46 PM: That's why those dang things made my arms tired after only holding them for 5 seconds. Would have made great dumbells, but you just can't beat the monsterous mount. Epic, man epic.
