2021 shed thread

[antlerradar]

I have posted up this buck in the past, One of the best whitetails I have ever seen and hands down the tallest. He lived to double digits and died of natural causes. I saw him many a time, just never where I could hunt him, when I could hunt except the one time when I left the jacket behind with all my bullets. I also have terrible luck when it came to finding his shed antlers. In all those years I was only able to find one of his smaller antlers. That changed today, I decided to bust my way into some thick stuff and look what I found. I haven't put a tape on the antler yet, but I am guessing just shy of 70, plus a 6 inch extra by the browtine. One of the most impressive whitetail antlers I have ever found. G2 is an easy 14 inches. I will be on working hard to find the other side. Antler was a good 5 miles from where I took the picture of him alive a few years ago.

That’s cool. I love it when a buck like this lives to die of old age. Think of the many hunting seasons he out guessed all the se mt hunters.

1st matched set of the year. In the 2nd pic you can see where he bedded down, just to the right of the right antler.

I’m loading up the family and we are making the 10 hour drive out to Utah this Sunday. It’ll be our third year in a row looking for those elusive elk sheds. We’ve never found one, but we keep coming back for more punishment... I’m either an idiot or I enjoy time in the outdoors with my girls... or both (more likely)

Try over 140 miles in 7 days. Only one set. Most bulls still packing

This is how you unnecessarily pressure animals and scatter antlers.
Carry on.

Seeking out in the middle of the night so nobody back tracks me

For the most part I'm done shed hunting for the year, time to start turkey hunting. All but 2 come off of our farm or land that boarders it. Approximately 800 acres.
