HUGE FRESH SHEDS!!!

Picked up on 2/9/2012. My brother and I had been watching this buck real close for a long time. Although we did not ?directly? see his antlers fall off, we saw him right before and after. We were really close to seeing it! His left side was on the ground for 1-hour and his right side was on the ground for 2-hours. They are more massive than we originally thought! Check out the mass around the G-4?s. By far the biggest sheds I've ever found and even the biggest deer antlers I've ever held! Pictured are my brother and his wife.

Now for the sad news, they are for sale. For me, watching him for so long and then being able to pick up both sides has been an awesome experience. I'm like a lot of you guys, I love big mule deer and would love to keep them but lately I haven't been providing very well for my family so I'm going to sell them to help with bills.

I post very rarely but I've been an avid reader of these forums for many years so I know there will be some guys that will assume that we had to have done something illegal in order to pick them up so fast, but honestly we were just sitting back and watching like usual and once the buck dropped them, we waited for him to walk away. He was not bothered. And yes I have my shed hunting permit.

I'm in southern Utah but I'll be in Salt Lake this weekend or they could be packaged up and shipped anywhere. These antlers are very fresh, very big and in great condition. Let me know if you're interested, Luke Beaumont (435) 310-0595.
 
Awesome sheds and Buck. Wish I was in the buying business I would be all over those. Good job! Wish for more prosperous days for you in the future.
 
Sorry if I'm offending people with this next statement, because I know I'm offended myself, but because I need the money, I'm just going to sell them the the highest bidder at the end of the week and be done with it.
 
Maybe I'm missing something but that doesn't seem offensive, it seems reasonable to me. Hope you get a good price for them.
 
Wow very nice set ! Score them and it may help you get your top price. Where did you say you found them ,again ?
 
Great find! Did the buck look pretty healthy? You might not get to keep the sheds, but maybe you can put him on the wall next year. I hope you get some decent change for them to help your family and that a lucky buyer will get to appreciate them for years to come as well.
 
mmwb

he looks really healthy. this winter has been really mild so far. not much snow at all. his body is big and fat compared to the other bucks. I'm sure he'll make it through just fine.
 
What's he score???


"The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify their authenticity." - Abraham Lincoln
 
I finally got him scored again and I now feel comfortable posting the score. As you can tell from the last two pictures, I think I got the outside and inside spread really close. 34" even on the outside and 25 1/8" on the inside. 25 5/8" on the longest main beam. The first time I scored him I got 207 1/8". The second time I got 206 5/8".
 
The "offended" thing I'm talking about is I feel like I'm selling out. Kinda like someone calling mossback when they find a big bull to collect a finders fee, instead of telling a good friend where the bull is. It's been a hard dicision for me to make and I'm sure there are plenty of shed hunters that believe I shouldn't sell such a rare find.
 
Quit being Cheap sw!

I think it'll take one more Zero than that sw!

What's this BS I hear you running around the EXPO Sportin SFW hats?

Hey a hundred bucks is all I can afford. I haven't been working much either as of late.

About the hat. Do you think it was enough to get me a tag this year?
 
lbeau... I can see your dilema. dont feel like a sell out your doing it to help your family. although how much did you spend on watching him in gas lol. all joking aside. i think its a good choice. Its a rock and a hard place. its a rare find maybe you could make a mold of them i dont know the cost of that but you could keep the molds and sell the originals. great find and i hope you get a good price. It would tear me deep to have to sell them if i found them. I have a hard time letting go of any of my sheds.
 
Dang- maybe I'll quit my job and start "sittin back" and stop "providing very well" for my family for a while so I can pick up fresh sheds...

mFlirt give us a round about idea what the past years sheds have sold for . I'm curious since I have a set like these pictured that is just collecting dust in the garage .
 
im from so utah and have never seen that buck. but i know where on is identical to it but inline on the otherside and a kicker on the opposite side. its the exact opposite of that buck
 
I don't understand why someone would pay for someone else's sheds. Is there not a story behind every set of horns? When you see a nice mount or horn at someone's house what is the first thing you say? "Wow, nice elk, deer, etc., where did you shoot/find that monster, etc." What will be the story of the person who ends up with these? I guess you either lie and say you found them or you admit your laziness and tell how you surfed the internet to find that sweet "once in a lifetime set of antlers".
 
People buy stuff all the time because they like it. We buy other people's photos to put in our homes because we find them compelling. We buy rocks, meteorites or gems that other people have found because they are desirable and maybe not readily accessible.
I don't really think it's an uncommon practice to buy things from others that have found stuff or created something.

Why should sheds be any different?

TRH
 
As long as they where obtained ethically or legally, I see nothing wrong selling or buying sheds. I do however, have an issue with someone trying to dictate to others how to dispose of their property.

Because some people buy sheds, they are lazy????

I'm confused.

I know guys who buy them because they like big deer.

I guess some might say they shot them, but guys like that lie about everything. Doesn't devalue selling sheds.

lbeaumont11, if appropriate, let us know what you get for the sheds.

Best of luck.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-17-12 AT 06:32PM (MST)[p]I've been following this thread with some interest. I like the way Calif does it on this one issue, they don't allow the sale of antlers, there is no value to them other than the conversation one might have with another,.. and if you do sell, you could find yourself ending up in jail.

Here we are though, ready to "sell" this huge set to the highest bidder. Makes me wonder how many numbskull punks out there are planning to poach every huge buck that they can find so they can sell those antlers too!

On one hand i want to say good luck and hope you get a pile of cash and on the other hand, i believe posts like this encourage poachers to hunt down huge bucks anywhere they might be during the off season only to make some money.

Two years ago a guy picked one side and paid around $400.00 to the guy who found the other side. Last year a different guy picked both sides and was paid by the same guy the year before around $400.00 for the set. And in my opinion last year was this buck's best year. The buck had lost some length of his hook cheater, inline fifth and lost an eyeguard this year.
 
SOLD

I was going to post the sell price but l agree with what sage said and it's probably not appropriate.
 
Well if its not appropriate to post the sell price then it was not appropriate to post this thread and try to sell them!
 
>how much are you going to
>give back to wild life?
>

Nothing. I think he said he is going to take care of his family's needs with the proceeds. Didn't the wildlife get to use these sheds for 9 months already? If the buck really wanted to continue to benefit from them then he shouldn't have dropped them.

Ludicrous troll question.

sttm, and that sorry azz teaches kids. and no iam not a troll' but on a full moon ive been known to do some weird stuff on the river.
 
$400 from the set the year before huh . I kind of assumed they would have been worth more than that . I have a set just a wee bit smaller than the pics posted just collecting dust in my garage that I was thinking about letting go .

I can sure understand the logic behind a guy letting them go so he can provide for his family .
 
This add could have easily went on ksl with the same story and result and it probably was. I'm sure it was posted on here mainly to show off and to hear some reactions. If that's what he was looking for he got it.

Learn it.

And I didn't call you a troll, I said your question was a troll question. It was not an intelligent question. You posted it twice, trying to turn the thread into your own pet argument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)


And yes it was ludicrous. That is why I posted an equally ludicrous response. The intent of the thread was not to debate the ethics of shed hunting, but to advertise a set of sheds the author had found and was trying to sell to support his family.

Here are the questions you originally posted:

whats are wildlife geting out of all this shed huntig? selling them?

how much are you going to give back to wild life?

Do you really think he was going to give a portion of the proceeds to the DWR to fund wildlife management? Are you relying on shed hunters to be altruistic or are you suggesting that every shed hunter pay a "shed tax" that goes back to wildlife management for every shed they pick up? Should they have to purchase a "shed hunting" permit that allows them to only pick up a set quota every year? If so, how would you enforce it? How well are they enforcing the "shed hunting season" thing right now?

Did you really think everything through before you asked those questions? Did you really want to hi-jack the thread and start a serious debate about these issues or did you just want to cause some controversy?

See what I mean when I say it is a ludicrous troll question?

And yes at times I may be an "azz" , and I do teach "kids" - college kids and US Army soldiers - but I assure you that when students leave my class they have been trained to think critically and analyze a situation all the way before they spout off mindless drivel.

Oh, and they learn how to spell, use correct grammar and vocabulary, and punctuate.

You still don't get it - and I don't think you will any time soon. Every thing I have said has NOTHING TO DO with SHED ANTLERS or values "ect" - sorry for confusing you and offending you by suggesting your were trying to take this thread in a direction other than its original intention.

As for my beliefs, I make no excuses, you are dead wrong there brother. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I will do my best to answer them all.

sttm. well it is sunday.guess ill go find brad. the rez medcine man. and see whats up?
 
I wired $835,643,464.43 for this set and it was money well spent.


I'm amazed at the idiots on here complaining about someone that does the same thing thousands of other people do. I'm pretty sure when someone finds a shed and sells it they don't cut wildlife a check for 10% of the proceeds. Ridiculous! Who would you make the check out to? LMAO! It's called jealousy, plain and simple.


If you're complaining, just state your age so we can understand why you're complaining. Nothing wrong with selling things you acquire legally and ethically. You might sell something like that for .10 or $10,000. If somebody wants it bad enough then they will pay for it.
 
zigge. your as worthless as the rest that think wildlife is free. and its your god given right to do anything,. hell them deer dont need your help. when thier gone your find something else to screw up ,. you guys take take and take, then are the first to ##### they are no deer,. blame the d.w.r[ s .f w.hell any of you guys that think are wildlife shouldnt get some thing out of about a1/2. million dollars a year in antlers sells.need to take a look at your selfs.
 
Elkun. That's a pretty dumb idea. I have never heard anyone even mention this so for you to call everyone else worthless cuz they don't give money that they earned is crazy. Prime example of "Common sense is not so common"
 
elkun is a troll!!!!!!!!

Please explain how you "Pay" for your wildlife. Or are you just a troll? You must be 17?.....or just jealous?

Would you rather he killed this deer or have him live another year to pass on his genes?
 
D13er, you're falling down on the job. Must be traveling.


I'd like to see more pictures. Maybe some without the yellow sweater.

Last year I was hiking around and lost a 20. I wrote that off as giving to wildlife. Whatever they can get with that makes me feel a little better even though I'm out a lap dance. Me sad:(

So please explain to us how you give to wildlife so we can do the same.
 
RE: elkun is a troll!!!!!!!!

zigga. god blessyou . your beyond help;kept geting those lap dances.i hope that head works better than your big one,,,
