Title: Cool shed/trailcam antler comparison
Post by: Craig on May 21, 2012, 10:13:57 AM: Just got back from my buddies ranch. Did some shed hunting when I was there. found a shed that I'm guessing is from the 2010 season. I think ( 90% sure ) I got this bull on trail cam in 2011. This bull sure put on a lot of size in one year. 2011 was a record year for rainfall in the area and the elk had more food then they could ever need. You can seen how much it helps with anter growth. I have a archery permit for this area his year. Hope I can find him or one of his other friends I have on cam.

2010 shed.

trying to compare bull to shed:
real long 3rd with the curve in. ( most bulls in the area have weak 3rds )
kicker matches
the small 5th and main beam match both years.

Bull in 2011
