Dawg's 2013 Shed Hunting Thread!

Awesome Dawg!

 

Well, I went for a short walk tonight and found two. The first one was on the edge of the creek and it was blocked by some grass. I about stepped on it before I saw it. LOL The second one I spotted from about 20 yards away along the edge of a log. You can see where the buck was rubbing his antlers trying to knock it off. That was really cool to see that.

 

Went out today and found another small one. It was laying next to some leg bones. He must of not liked the smell of them and pulled his head up to fast. I was reading a thread about hanging skulls and I have never seen many so I hung up 5 of them today. LOL My daughters dog was checking out the antler and he picked it up. He took off in the garage with it and would not give it back. When I went to get it back he grumbled a little. Here are the pictures from today.

 

Went for a walk today and found a nice shed but the dang tree rats got to it first! They even got to it fast. Still had blood on the base of the antler. GGGGRRRRRR

 

Well if you all remember I stated I wanted a left side of a bucks antlers well now I need to match it up! I got what I asked for. If you all dont remember or want to see the pictures again it is in this thread! Here is his left side and it is a dandy now just need the other to make it a match! I must of scared him enough to have him drop it. I followed blood all the way back to where I found the shed. LOL

 

I decided to put them together anyhow, here is the buck and then his left side shed.

 

After looking at my sheds today. I realized I found the right side to the buck I took pictures of earlier in the shed season. Here they are.

 

Another day of dinks! I hope they start getting bigger! Here is todays walks finds!

 

Here is the score on my big boy shed that I got the other day!



MB-22 0/8
G1- 4 2/8
G2-10 5/8
G3- 8 3/8
C1- 4 6/8
C2- 4 4/8
C3- 5 1/8
C4- 3 4/8

Total=63 1/8

 

DANG TREE RATS!!! I just scored this antler and it scored 57 1/8" with the chewed off points. If they were there the antler would of been over 60" with no brow tine.

 

Here is another one! 57 3/8" with no chew offs but chewed on.

 

This is a nice shed but by no means a monster! It scored 48 1/8"

 

This is another nice shed but not a monster also! It scored 48 3/8"

 

Dawg,
I love your posts and look forward to them everyday, but could I suggest one thing. If it's not that much to ask could you put something next to the antlers for reference in size. It would really add a better perspective on how big they are to me.

Sincerely,
Mossy

 

I probably should do that. I have only done that a time or two. Here is one of the times I did just to show the size of the mass on my biggest antler to date! I also did it to show one of my smallest to date.

 

Or I have held them in my hands! The second picture is me holding the wide boys shed from two years ago that I found the match set to this year also. The last picture is of this years shed of the wide boy. I will have to do pictures like the others with all my sets one of these days.

 

I got invited to go with a friend to a spot where they found a bunch of sheds last year. It looks like we are going to go on the 9th but date is subject to change. My hopes are running really high and can not wait to go. I do know there are very big deer there.

 

Thanks dawg. Really appreciate it. Great pics as always.

 

Dawg, your an antler magnet man!

 

I got another one today! Walked my butt off for just one antler and saw a few still packing. Going out again tomorrow to flop cam cards and short walk.
