Fresh British Columbia Tine

BCBOY · Mar 11, 2007

The year has started off pretty good for me even though we've had a ton of snow and most sheds have been buried. I'm at 24 sheds thus far and most of those have been found at work.

Here is a set I found at work on Thursday. They were laying side by side. Right scores 82 6/8 and left scores 82 2/8.

Found this one last month. Nice heavy typical. Scores 81 6/8.

BCBoy I am convinced that I hate you ;-)

You find more big deer horns than anyone on this site.

Jake,
LMAO!!! I'm sure there are many other's that find just as much big tine but just hold back from postin it. I'm pretty stoked though as these ones aren't even chewed. To find unchewed tine in this country is a pretty hard feat.

WOW! no chew marks!! Nice finds.. I'm a little jeleous about the animals you have up there...I'm sending my pack of rabid bone chewing chipmunks up your way,you had better be finding them sheds in a hurry!

Thanks for the pics.

When in doubt, floor it.

Quite the abnormal point on the main bean of the first antler. I love the mass on the second one. Thanks for sharing

JakeH · Mar 11, 2007

I guess that it isnt so bad down here, I find about 1 in every 15 to 20 horns that are chewed on, and I dont think I've ever found a brown one that was chewed on. So I guess its almost an even trade.(ALMOST)

Nice finds dude! Finally some picture quality.

My Schnee's Sheep hunters just came in the mail today so I'm just waiting for the snow to melt now before I can pick up some droppins...

sasksheds · Mar 12, 2007

Nice bones there man!

MichaelJ · Mar 16, 2007

Dang Steve! Looking good there, mind if I come up for spring break and go shed hunting with you? lol JK is it illegal to take sheds across the border?

Nice bucks! Do you think you will find the Mass-N-Trash sheds this year? OH WAIT - I GUESS YOU WON'T! Some hunter went and killed him huh! I think that will always be one of my all time favorite mule deer stories!

Roy, you havent even heard the whole story yet! Wait for the May issue of Muley Crazy....;-)

BCBOY · Mar 16, 2007

Tuffer,
You're gonna have to break in those sheep hunters pretty darn quick here and start pickin up some tine. You gonna do any sheddin in the Chilcotin this spring??? I'm gonna hit some of that country in early April. Gonna take the kids out and see if we can find some monsters.

Boneaddict,
I've been working the last month or so doing douglas fir beetle probes in some classic muley winter range. Pretty cool to be able to be combing the fir lookin for beetle and see a big match set of browns at the base. I sure hope my luck continues as my season really won't start for several more weeks as the snow slowly melts.

Roy,
I'll miss lookin for MnT's sheds this year but I'm sure I'll find some of his offspring's sheds in the future.

Here are some better pics of the same sheds. Was just playing around with the new camera and took these.

ridgerunner · Mar 16, 2007

I love that first set, what a great looking buck, if you ever run out of room to store all that bone, I'll take that set if you ever choose to get rid of it, love the deep forks on that guy!

BigBucksNBulls · Mar 16, 2007

Holy. those are some way nice sheds. keep them comming!

tufferthandug · Mar 17, 2007

Chilcotin would be nice this year but I'm holding some holidays for a Salmon/Halibut trip we booked in July,(it makes tag soup taste better

. I've never been to Prince Rupert so it should be fun.

The last couple trips out have been a little unsuccesful but I'm sure my luck will turn around. Maybe MattB and BCrams will come down from PG and show me up...

boneaddict · Mar 17, 2007

I like the new pics. Good color. It always comes back to the color of brown tine......
Good luck! Yep we got some serious snow this year. Its keeping me out of my favorite haunts. About the time I can get to the muleys, its going to be time to chase down the elk bones. Keep an eye out for a big paddle. I'm looking forward to some moose shots!
