Big 7X7. How would you like to arrow a bull like this? Me too!

These antlers ended up as part of a floor lamp.

More elk sheds I found. I build floor lamps with them and give the lamps wih a rawhide shade to ranchers/farmers that let me hunt their land. I also donate to Bowhuners Of Wyoming for their annual auction/banquet.

Last pic. Elk and deer shed antler dual bird bath.

Lots of cool stuff to make with sheds. I made this for a rancher who let me bowhunt his property. Gifts go a long ways.

I havent had a chance to get out yet here. Still alot of snow in my neck of the woods. It is great exercise and a great chance to do some stumpin as well. I am about a month away from my shed time. Shedrock those are awesome. Thanks for sharing those. You remind me of my little brother he has a knack for finding good mulie sheds and elk sheds.

Awesome sheds guys. Keep the pics coming. And nice work, Shedrock.  I have been out stumping numerous times since Christmas, but haven't found any.  Folks around here have been seeing bucks with their antlers still on.  Seems late to me.  Maybe the mild winter has something to do with it?

I found these while hunting pigs a few weeks ago.

I found them 3 days apart within 20 ft. of each other.

Do you think they are from the same animal?  One is much thicker at the base then the other.

Thanks!

Tenbrook,

I believe those are from 2 different deer. The one antler looks to be rubbed more than the other. One good way to tell is by looking at the burrs. Compare the bottoms side by side. If they are a match, the shape should be about the same, and the same size.

I went out yesterday to stump shoot and shed hunt. Only found one shed that had been laying there for awhile and was eaten up pretty bad. I go out every chance I get from now till turkey season.

I've been planning on going here soon. I just saw a 8 point last Monday with both sides of his rack still.

I have been out twice stumping and shed hunting with my son.  Nothing yet. I am still seeing bucks with horns in the field. Now in December during the shotgun break I saw two bucks that had already shed. Strange year.
We have a guy that the local farmers let walk the fields for sheds. He saves their tractor tires buy getting the sheds first. I keep finding his boot prints in my timber. That may just be why I have not found anything yet!
Plan on going to the Deer Classic on Sat. I prefer Friday but the kids have a school dance.

Old Mossy Back shed another set this year   :big laugh:
 
 

Another week or two and my dog Dakota and I will be out sniffing for Blacktail sheds. They are especially hard to find in our hunting woods because everything is so thick. If we hit it right when the horns are dropping my dogs have smelled them out in the past.

Were busy trapping right now but will get out soon. Nothing better then walking around shooting stumps and picking up antlers.

Found this one late in the season but he made it through.

 

This one made it.

 

and this one.

 

Had this buck under 15yds a couple times but didn't get it done.

 

a bunch of 3 year olds like this one made it too should be good ones this year.

 


We still have a few empty spots to fill.

 

Good luck everybody looking forward to the picks.   :D
