Yep, I hunted hard for those corkscrews but never found them.  As MILES would agree, sometimes it just doesn't work out.  Its amazing how many sheds I find of bucks I don't see, and how many I don't find that I do see.

I'm sure they are still walking around unless cougar intervened.  Nope, no big whitetail sheds this year.  I think the ground opened up and swallowed them.  Lots of other folks out combing the woods, so maybe they are on a mantle somewhere.

Yep, I like that one too!  He looks a lot like the bucks in my favorite area, which is probably only a few miles from where he got those pics.  Maybe.

He would make a nice steak.  He came in on a string almost instantly when I started rattling.  Another one came in at the same time.  Saw this fellow then turned straight away and walked off.  I'm guessing he didn't want a piece of that action.

Pretty much my friend.  You are all too familiar with these particular critters.  You've got yourself a prime piece of realestate up there.

I'd say it would net 130's.  Might go 140's Gross but I doubt it.  Still a good deer. 
 
I am looking at the picture posted by Huntwa.  Is this the only picture of this deer?

Had to have a loot at the other pictures of this buck.  I'll have to agree with Boneaddict on this one.
