Post by: DoubleJ on October 25, 2011, 10:29:19 AM

And here I was thinking it was do to you guys touching yourselves at night  :chuckle:


It is odd though 3 of the 5 blacktail sheds I found from vail had blade points. The 2pt I shot in vail 3 years ago also had blade points. maybe it's a vail thing?

Maybe it's the lack of minerals that prevents full antler growth, causing a point to start but not fully develop.(?)

because they are into inter-species coupling and have been breeding with caribou in secret caves  :dunno:
