i think he ment this lol

[4ptbuck]

nope, I am sure he meant THS,...the infamous, mostly widely discussed, contrieversial (sp?), Texas Heart Shot.

[30-06]

ohh i c lol

[Mini_Me]

This mornng i went out in the back 40 to see what i could collect.
There was a lot of sign but no bones.
3 feet of snow isn't very ideal to go look for some antlers.
Boy was I pooped when came home.

Those are good pics by-the-way

[Trapper]

My son has picked up 9 fresh sheds in the last couple of weeks mostly muleys.

Geez, i really didnt think id have to spell it out for anyone here. :confused: :confused: Thanks for those that explained it to dean! :lol:

[eastkoot]

Have a few small bucks in the back 40 that have dropped, spiker and 2 point. The larger ones are still on their heads and after grabbiing one the other day I can tell you they are still well attatched..

[30-06]

nice pics thanks

[hunter1947]

Nice footage Mark ,now if only you would tell me the location where the pic were taken :lol: hunter 1947.

[mark]

No problem wayne, just come to the okanagan and keep hiking till you recognize the background! Keep an eye out for that big pine tree! :lol: :lol:

[greasysidedown]

Eastkoot, I'd like to see a picture of that.

[CHilko21]

There's a buck around here, wasn't huge or anything, he just has really crazy antler growth, one antler grows down and out, and the other one is normal...I figure it was caused by some sort of injury while he was in velvet...I'm gonna see if I can find his sheds, just cause they're different. Gotta start stomping through the bush again pretty quick :). Good times

[bsa30-06]

eastkoot, nice pics, open the door let the poor bugger in it's cold outside.

[lapadat]

Picked up this fresh 4pt Chwk BT this afternoon, then spent the better part of an hour searching unsuccessfuly for its match.

Gotta love fresh brown. Congrats on the shed lapadat. I can't wait until April when the buried treasures will start appearing.

[Tarp Man]

Gotta love those hand-held trail cams... they're so portable, and you never have to try and find the right tree it is pegged to. It can be a real butt-buster (for the children on the site) to get to the sheds though

[lapadat]

The excitement of finding a good shed is quickly overtaken by the sick need to find its pair

Do you mean you grabbed a antler off a deer in your back 40 that was still on the deer? Must be some tame deer.

[eastkoot]

There's about a dozen here this AM, see if I can't get a picture for you later on..Yes, I have a few that I can pet..

[eastkoot]

Here you go, this set is on there tight !!!

[Elk-Aholic]

I thought I've seen everything in life, but maybe I have now? Give it a really good tug and see if you can hang on for a 8-second ride and get it on video for all us HBC members. Great pic too by the way.

[mark]

yes eastkoot, very cool experience, and pic! Just keep tugging every few days and youll get em off! Youll have a shed that never hit the ground, now thats rare!

[abbyfireguy]

Just don't turn your back on that buck..He might get his own texas heart shot in...DuuHH,that's going to leave a mark....:|

[dana]

Lap,
I hear ya on that one. Several times, to find a match, I have spent over 40 manhours combing and have still come up empty. Makes me sick to the stomach and I loose a ton of sleep just knowing there is some rodent that may be chewing on one of my sheds.

I ain't that talented. I got an "A" in grade 9 Art, but I have no clue how, especially since we pestered the teacher until she was close to the looney bin. I couldn't draw a stick man if my life depended on it!:lol:

[GoatGuy]

Looks like a Rouse. Anyone ever seen one?

[mark]

Im heading out to check my t-cam right now, ill keep you guys posted on the antler situation in a couple hours!

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Mark-You should make a little antler snagger unit to put your apples in for this time of year. Would make for a lot less walking.........

[bsa30-06]

Here you go, this set is on there tight !!!

I havnt done the apple thing for a long time! Theyre coming for the salt block now! Ive been thinking about an antler snagger actually!
No pics today as batts were dead! :frown:

[Rainwater]

Nice Pic East Koot, SHHHH! A Feb season is coming if you keep spreadin that around.

[Fisher-Dude]

Saw 3 trophy-sized two point mulies in an orchard today, all still packing bone.

[WoodOx]

Likewise, over the past couple weeks ive seen several mulies and whites around my house, all bucks still sportin head gear.

One muley was very decent, probably 150ish, considering he was in a very surburban area.

[DropTines]

Here you go, this set is on there tight !!!

In the back of the picture, it looks like a fairly big buck bedded down atchin you and the deer? Any pictures of him? :lol:
