Ive seen them in a deer and Elk that I butchered, grossed me out. I cut them into jerkey meat so that I could cut out any that I found. The ones I had were like a white seed type deal with a clear sack around them. Do you have picts? If the deer is lousy with them I dont think I could eat it.

I think you took this the wrong way, or at least I hope that is the case. I have no problem with people picking up sheds if they can do it without chasing and harassing them. I like to shed hunt as much as the next guy, it has become a serious hobby of mine. But it is not worth killing the...

I saw a 2 point missing one side last weekend. could not believe it. Chances of finding the very very few that have dropped are slim to none. dont chase them please! Just observe from a distance and wait. If you see someone else going after them report them for harassment.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-23-16 AT 02:15PM (MST)[p]I agree that most of the time they will stay 3 point frame, but there are exceptions to the rule. I have watched a one buck for many years now and he has went from a 4x4 the first two years then a 3x4 then he went back to a 4x4 then finally a 3x3. I...

To give some background on the buck, I was Searching an area I had found a heavy single the day before, trying to locate the other side. I searched the thicker sage then climbed a small hill to glass the area. I spotted an antler on a fairly open side hill, it was mostly grass with sparse...

LAST EDITED ON May-05-16 AT 11:24AM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]No offense taken, I was kind of dissapointed as well, I see alot of picts of deer that score high and I may be doing something wrong or they may be exaggerating. Here is another example I scored this buck what do you all think he...

LAST EDITED ON May-04-16 AT 06:16PM (MST)[p]I left my chart at work but if I am remembering correctly the main beams were 22 6/8 & 23". The inside I had at around 21". About 9" of extras on each side, one had 3/4" more than the other, the eye guards are busted probably 1/2" to an inch on...

Thank you, I am coming up with 205"

Question on adding score, I have taken all the measurements but am not sure if I need to add the tip to tip measurement or the inside spread measurement or both, as soon as I get that info I will post the score.

LAST EDITED ON May-04-16 AT 10:27AM (MST)[p]Sorry to say founder, you will never have another chance to put this buck down. These antlers came off a deadhead, when I went to turn him over to get a better look at him, one of the antlers fell off, so I convinced the other side to come off. He...

LAST EDITED ON May-03-16 AT 10:00PM (MST)[p]I have not scored him but he is 36-37" wide. I am glad someone had a picture, I had seen that picture when you posted it, but did not put it together. I have some more photos etc. pm me I would like to get any photos of him on the hoof.

LAST EDITED ON May-03-16 AT 09:21PM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]Just wondering if anyone has a picture of this buck? http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos3/3907sheds.jpeg

I would shoot the heavy buck in the founders pictures, but the forks on the heavy one appear to be just as long as the other deer, therefore I do not agree that it is good representation of the question. If the founders buck had crab claws with that mass would you still pick it over the other one?

Well finding antlers like that should do the trick.

How many of you gather them with the intent for selling? I can not part with mine at this point, Maybe in the future when I have amassed enough I will sale some of the less desirable ones.

I read a thread elsewhere and a taxidermist said that Potassium is the professional's choice. I think I will give that a try as well. I will try the three and see which one turns out best. I have never heard of using pine to fill the cracks, do you just break off a young branch and start rubbing?

I will give that a try, thank you.

I know this is a recurring question but I could only find one post that gave a stain for old sheds and they looked great on the Elk. DW was the provider I believe. Has anyone else got any alternative stains to the walnut Eco Stain that they like on deer? I plan on trying this one, but wanted...

sactribe, I have been thinking of the best way to keep track of where, when, how etc. I find antlers to pattern out for future hunts and to see if I can get multiple sets of the same deer. FYI the deer that my wife and mother inlaw is holding up is the same deer this year and last. I only found...

That would be awesome to pick up that many sheds in a day, a good day for me is anything over 8 antlers and I will walk 8-13 miles or so. I would say the best days I have had this year I picked up 10 antlers in 3 hours and 5 miles on an after work trip. Walked out in the dark with a mix of some...

Thank you, My wife has been very patient and understanding with the time I have taken since I do not see her except for an hour or so at night. I was kind of curious if the guys that are finding 200 plus bones a year are in premium areas like next to a big reserve like the Henry mountains or if...

I have been keeping track of my miles searching for bone this year and was wondering if anyone else does the same thing and knows approximately how far they travel on average for each antler. I am currently sitting at just over two miles per antler and have 89 antlers for the year not including...

Sorry Nebo, I forgot to answer your question about what I do with the sheds. I at the moment just collect them, I want to build an archway leading into my Hunting room when I build a new house in a few years. I have a hard time thinking about letting them go.

Go further in the back country (away from roads) Alot of the people watching them drop are doing it from a vehicle and will not travel far from the vehicle if they do not know there is an antler sitting there. I have picked up several antlers in heavy trafficked areas as well, they can not find...

Just Curious on some of your yearly totals, Best years and average years. If you only picked up 12 that's cool lets hear about it. I honestly have never kept count until this year but previous years have to average around 10-20, that is not great I know but there is a lot of competition out...

Thanks again for all the reply's, here is an update on my dogs. I have a 7 year old short hair that will find an antler that I hide using his nose. He will turn from downwind as far as 30 yards and find the antler but when it comes to ones that I have not hid, that have no human scent, he...

Thanks for the info, do you feel that he found alot of sheds that you would have missed?

Can anyone on here tell me if Shed dogs are able to scent older antlers (whites) or do they generally just pick up the browns with the fresh deer scent? Some of the information I found on the Internet claims that the whites actually have more scent, while others claim the dogs do not pick up...

What happened to him? why wont you be able to see him again?

North Side.

I shoot a 300 Ultra mag with a 210 grain berger bullet.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-16-12 AT 03:24PM (MST)[p]only 3 people and one full elk to retrieve in very steep dangerous country, I do not think I will full head mount him. I have 3 deer and one bobcat at the taxidermist with one deer and two elk already mounted. I am kind of limited out for now on space...

This is my Late Rifle Cache bull, He got me excited with the long sword tines 23". I did see several other bulls, several of them were broken up and there were alot of smaller bulls. I know there were bigger ones around but the snow is melting and Like I said I got a little excitted. I saw a...
