That'll be cool if you get to put him no the wall with another year's growth on him.
Awesome haul Okie4570! That one your holding looks like the big brother of the pic you texted.
I'm glad you found your buck finally! How close did y'all come to his final resting spot while searching? Those racks sure did whiten up quick.
Pic that the landowner sent.......... I thought wow, major ground shrinkage! I knew toad didn't have a very large rack, but the body size was incredible. This buck sure fooled me though.
From where we finally stopped looking, he was about a half mile further.
It makes you wonder after a good blood trail and the shot ends up being a fatal shot how some make it that far...then you have some that only sprint 40 yards or so then pile up.
Every article I read mentions fence lines, and I always check fence lines, but they are rarely profitable. At least 80% of the sheds I find are in feeding areas comprised of short green forage, with big clumps of dead grass/briers mixed among. Nearly every shed is removed the same way. Feeding on the green grass, antler gets caught up in the nearby clumps of dead grass and comes off. At the very first signs of spring, the first areas that turn green, that meet those conditions, those are my honey holes. You can find sheds everywhere, in timber, in hay meadows, everywhere in between. Only place I have not found a shed is sittin on my ass on the couch.
Went shroom huntin last night. I suck at finding shrooms. But I did find these! One matching set, and the smallest 4 pt shed ever.
Exactly. I find deer trails and follow them. Most sheds are just in dense growth areas. BTW I haven't been this year. Not sitting on my ass either.
