I was out squirrel hunting 10 days ago and jumped a dozen or so deer up. 5 bucks still sporting both sides.   I'll wait another week or two.

At Granger Ranger Xtreme Hunt(pre-hunt), it doesn't start until Friday, but I have to work.  Did an early trip. and found these.  Two fresh The bottom one is a six and has some mass.  Think the first one was his daddy.

There is still a lot of snow where I live which makes it tough to find them but I did find this one not far from the house.[attachment=1,msg2992263]

I just got back in from another walkabout.  I found this one but I am probably walking by others buried in the snow... [attachment=1]

Found this one couple hundred years from my hunting area.  Someone didn't track far enough.

Kenny, do you suppose that if he had lived to shed out, there would have been three separate antlers? Very interesting.

Post by: ESP on February 22, 2022, 05:03:03 PM
Kenny, did you ever see him on the hoof?
Title: Re: Was a 2022 shed thread started?
Post by: kennym on February 22, 2022, 05:05:43 PM
No unfortunately . Bro just found him half under mud in bottom of a ditch . I told him probably a prehistoric beast.

I think probably, looks like the pedicel is two pieces.

I had a dream the other night about finding some sheds. Don't really get into all that stuff, but just in case, I'm going to check that spot next time I'm out!  :biglaugh:

I wish I had found that right side a little sooner. :dunno:  It is a very unusually developed antler for sure.
