    I have been out about 4-5 days about a total of 10 hours and I finally find a set of sheds right behind my house. It is a good sign when the first shed you find is a complete set. I found them both laying together right behind my house. I can't wait to get back out there. Here is a couple pics.

    Nope. I am planning on scoring them tomorrow so I will let you know. I am guessing them around 130 class.

    You can't beat that! I can't wait for the day I stumble upon a matched set, lying together. I found my first matched set this year, but they weren't lying together. That had to be a great feeling!!!

    Great day! And doesn't it just make you want to get back out there and hunt for them some more?!? I know it does for me.

    I'd say 122" without inside spread.

    He Said 122" without inside spread. If he included the inside spread of 14" his guess would have been 136". Nice find gram, hopefully he puts some inches on this spring and is a possible shooter this upcoming season!

    Are you going blind in your old age Dinker? :evil: :d

    I said my guess was without inside spread. Add in his measurement of 14" for inside spread and I actually only 1" off. I'm so good I cheat myself out of inches. :deer:

    I guess I gotta beat you :whip: at Explosive Targets again so you know how great I am. It must be slipping your memory.



    Anyways, back to Gram's thread. Is this buck on your hit list next year?!?
