Went walkabout yesterday afternoon.  Pulled a stand, scouted, shot some stumps and found this.

 

Looked around, but didn't find the other half.

Garrett, your reservations arrived and you two are logged in.   :thumbsup:

Wish I had had a camera today.

I found a NICE set of antlers about 15 yards from the ladder stand I'd just loosened from the tree.  It was big, heavy, and wide 9 point rack that I'd guess would have been somewhere around 140" class.  If I held them with the same space between the bases as my mounted buck, the outside measurement was 21".

The fun part of this find is that the antlers were actually touching.. one lying on top of the other!!  

I've looked long and hard for "the other side" of a rack for years, but have never found more than one antler from a buck until now.

Wish I'd seen him while sitting in that stand with my bow, but it was a thill to see that mass of "horn" sticking up from a distance!  They're dropping them, all right!!!

Do Bucks usually shed both at the same time? I was always assumed that they dropped seperately.

Larry, I have found them as close as touching each other and as far as 1/2 mile apart! With that being said I usually only find 1 or 2 matching sets a year! And the bigger ones seem to be close together. So I guess the answer is "depends"!

No sheds yet for me but have seen lots of deer with them still on around here. Did find a nice skull 10 pointer though from a few years back I think.

This just measured at 62in. Better than we thought. Hope to see this guy next year.
My oldest son found this one last week. He was really excited.

 Gun,
 That first pic was really cool.

some nice sheds there, I went down to my hunting property in Illinois a couple of weeks ago, because i'd heard reports of a lot of bucks in my area that had shed, walked into the bedding area were i hunt and jumped 6 big bucks all together ranging from 120'' all the way up to a 180 class 12 pointer, all the bucks had there headgear, amazing, i'll be going back there in a few weeks for sure.
