LAST EDITED ON Jun-02-13 AT 09:41AM (MST)[p]With shed season pretty much done for another spring, I figured I'd finally add to this forum. I've picked up some big tine over the years but these ones are by far my best. First sheds I've ever picked up with slugs and snails on them. I always thought it was just rodents that ate tine. I guess even the little critters like them. Thus the nickname 'The Slug'.

It seems the video uploaded a little weird to monsterhuntclips with the video going fast and the sound staying the right speed. But I think you'll still enjoy it.

Well BADGEBOY!

If You Cannucks don't start wiping out the Tine Chewin Rodents they'll be Chewin Tine on Live Animals!

Nice Job!

You're not gonna be lookin for that Buck this Fall are Ya?:D





The Dew I had for Breakfast wasn't Bad so I had one more for Dessert!:D
 
Bessy,
This is the biggest buck I've never seen. I would love to have more pieces to the puzzle than just this set. I've pounded the ground hard and can not turn up another shed off of him. It'll be a needle in a haystack trying to turn him up during hunting season, but I'll definately try. :)
 
I hear ya BC!

Same kinda crap here where I hunt!

A couple good Bucks in the Biggest/Thickest Hay Stack you've ever seen!

I keep thinkin one of them are gonna Screw up/Err just once in my Life Time but it ain't happened yet!:D

Wow! Makes my best set look a whole lot smaller all of a sudden, too bad about the tips on the one, chewed or broken? Cool deer no matter what, hope he is busy growing a new set in good health.

The rodents got to him before I found him. I'm pretty used to that. I don't find much tine without chews. He does also have a couple broken tines. One is a broke off dropper and the other is a broken G1.

Both sheds go 111 and change. That would put him in the mid 240's as a 11X11. If the 2 broken tines were intact, he would have easily been in the 250's as a 12x12.
 
Nope. I picked the sheds up while hunting last fall. Spent the entire late season hunting him to no avail. Spent the entire spring season trying to find this year's set or any previous set to no avail. He's a bit of a mystery. I have no idea if it was just a fluke he shed where he did or if that might be his home. Without any other pieces of the puzzle, I have no idea how to get this buck on the ground.
 
But you have ONE piece (actually two!) of the puzzle. To me it is enough just to know those ghosts are out there. I am amazed how wary some big boys are 24/7/365... others pose for the camera two days after the bullets stop flying. If the backdrop for those pics is his home turf it would be VERY easy for a big guy to live out his days never having been seriously threatened.

I've got a 5 year affair going with one and just got the first pic of him last winter- very blurry from almost a mile off, but it is the first time he has showed up in photo-light. Always before it has been after any chance for a pic is twenty minutes past- shooting light ,yes, but not for digiscoping light. And he is always at least a 1/2 mile away surrounded by "domino deer". He is very close to an "unkillable buck" if there is such a critter.

But the thought of such a beast sure helps when crawling out of the bag@ 4am when the fire has gone out@ 1 am...
 
Oh I know that one piece of the puzzle is a big one. All I could do last late season is pound that timber hoping for a break. It didn't help that the weather was warm with virtually no snow. I hoped that post season he would move into there but with a mild winter the shed season was dismal. I'm pretty sure he wintered somewhere else, probably high. I put all my eggs in one basket and all I could do was expand the grid further and further out. I'm now getting excited for the snow to be gone from above timberline. I've got a lot of alpine I need to explore and hope that I can gain another piece to the puzzle this summer. If not, I will put all my eggs in the same basket again and do it the same as last season.
 
Oh wow. Those are nothing short of amazing. That color is astonishing. Especially considering you picked them up late. And great pics with them! Good luck this summer turning them up. I admire your persistence.
 
Awesome !!!!

Congrats on the find of a lifetime. One like that could make a man go crazy trying to find him and film him on the hoof much less try to find him during the hunting season :)

Cheers,
Pete
 
Finding those, You now have a mission to find him and put him on the wall.HUGE set.
