I found these sheds last year during the elk hunt.

Outta curiosity what's the diameter of the bases?

I'd say deer even though the bases look rather big. I would think if it was an elk, the tines would be heavier but they get real thin quick.
Very cool find though!

There are many things that would be nice to wish for or say but then I would be just like him.

My guess is elk by the way the brow tine looks on the left pic.

I think its a deer? The only thing is the place where I picked these up there is not many deer more elk than anything. I have never seen a deer in that spot.
The only reason i feel its a deer more than a elk is the bases have alot of stickers. If it is a deer it had to have been a old buck right? I havent measured the bases but they are about the size of a chew can

I browned these sheds and put them on a spare mountain mikes skull plate. I think it would have set alot different on the animal but who knows.

Those pics sure make it look like a deer. Probably a $5k dna type test u could to know for sure!
