Mark,
I like the color on that shed. Not that much snow where you picked that guy up hey. I put on 15 km this past weekend but only managed to pick up 5 sheds, lol.... I will post some more pics this week.

[MattB]

Nice finds guys, University has had me tied down a bit but im hoping to get out this coming weekend.
Mark, looks like that buck has some potential for the coming years!

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

Rick, Are you still thinking of my tipi tent? When are you going to go and look for some bone ?:lol:

Drops from the Hill Country, Texas.

Anyone recognize this species?

[Tinney]

Lapadat are you sure you meant to type "whitetail" :lol:

[lapadat]

Quite sure. Is it a hybrid? :)

Seeing as how the nearest Mule Deer range is about 600 miles to the west.........

[WoodOx]

Pretty sure those are fallow/axis deer horns.

[lapadat]

They are Axis Deer antlers and they will only ever grow 3 times...with the exception of the brow tine. Apparently a trophy-quality deer will grow 30+ inch antlers (base to longest tip)

The body of a fallow deer is nearly identical with the major difference being more palmation to thier headgear.

Apologies for the attempted high-jack!!

Went out for a wander on easter sunday. We were only out for a couple of hours but did manage to find a couple pieces of bone.

[bckev]

My cousin is over 50 sheds for the season so far. I will post a pic when he sends it to me. I have three including my first elk shed, but I have found some new hunting country.

[bckev]

A day late for my cousins birthday here are some pictures of the sheds he has gotten so far this year. Enjoy.

[steveo32]

Nice finds for your cousin bckev tell him congrats and that muley set on top is awsome:lol: I should be getting more sheds as the snow melts if i find anything big i will post them up.

steve

[bckev]

He is now over 60 sheds found this year. Here are some other looks at what he has gotten.

[frenchbar]

nice pile of antlers,sept cant come soon enough!

[Alpine85]

By the looks of that picture your cousin puts on a lot of miles, nicely done. You should get him to take some pictures of his bigger sheds and post here for some of the shedders :)

[Gamebuster]

.....You should get him to take some pictures of his bigger sheds and post here for some of the shedders :)

x2...some great lookin bucks in there...I'd like a better look!

[bckev]

He has sent me other pics to post for him but I don't seem to be able to get them to load. I don't know if they are too big. I will try again when I get the chance.

[bckev]

Hi
Hopefully I have load another picture not sure what I am doing wrong but can't seem to get them to load too well.

[bckev]

I will try again, no luck they seem to be too big. Can anyone give me information as how to load them in the text box instead of thumbnails.
Thanks

[bckev]

Hi again, I stuck two photos in the gallery section under bckev. Take a look.

[Elkhound]

PM sent BCKev

[bckev]

Posting some more of my cousins shed pics in my gallery. bckev check it out. he has had a tshirt made looks great.

[bsa30-06]

bckev, your cousin has a nice collection there.

[MB_Boy]

This is a matching set from a blacktail found on Anvil Island in Howe Sound. Was on a bit of a hike up the mountain and saw the one shed as I was bushwhacking and did a bit of a look around the area and found the match about 30 yards away.

Hopefully this "posting pictures thing will work for me".:frown:

http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/medium/IMG_0594.JPG


Whoopee.....I'll try one more.

http://www.huntingbc.ca/photos/data/500/IMG_0595.JPG

I realized after I took the pics that something to compare to for size would have been good to add into the pic. Rookie shedder here, so I will know better for next time.

[mark]

Very nice bases and brows for a 2 point! Congrads on finding the match, ive searched for hours and days and never found a pair!

[lapadat]

At what elevation are you guys finding your Blacktail sheds? I've logged well over 100 hours in the field this year and have only stumbled upon 2 sheds. Both were at the 1000 meter mark. I'm about ready to give up being a shed hunter.

I came across this BT Buck this morning. Looks like a healthy mature deer with good potential.

[MB_Boy]

Very nice bases and brows for a 2 point! Congrads on finding the match, ive searched for hours and days and never found a pair!

Thanks Mark....I wish I was not such a 'rook' and added something as a size reference :oops: as it is a pretty good 2 point for an in-bred island buck. It was a hike that turned into a search for "bone". (I am pretty sure that is sheddin' terminology). I was just happy to find one and then the hunt was on for #2 and lo and behold I found it after about 10 minutes of digging around. :)

Lap...these were found on an island so not quite the same as searching the high elevations of the mainland but Anvil Island has some good height to it and gets snow capped in the winter. These were found probably not much higher than about 400 meters???

[mark]

Heres a few from April 28

[30-06]

i found some nice muley and whitey sheds out a davis last easter

[kootenayelkslayer]

Here's a couple of elk sheds I found a couple years ago. I found two more very similar to those in size the same day and on the same hillside.

[wildman 22]

[Alpine85]

hey mark , its just that i shed hunt near there and the area looks somewhat like the terrain where i go.

There is a lot of area in the OK that looks like that...:smile:

[dana]

Looking like the end is in sight. I had a great start but pounded a ton of ground the last few weeks with limited success. My year total is 107 and I think I'm about done. Things are just starting to green up so I think I'll take a much needed break and start bear hunting.

[mark]

Sweet moose paddles, Dana when you say 107 sheds, are you counting every piece of tine you see, even if its just chewed up old remains of a shed, or are you talking keepers???? I find lots of old rotton remains, but dont bother taking them, nor 3 point or less!

[dana]

If it is good enough for me to hang in a tree so I don't pick it up next year, it is tallied in my yearly count. I've had some years where I've had counts over 250 and have packed home over 100. I now only pack home good browns or sheds with some character or sheds that are just flippin' huge, no matter what kind of shape they are in. :)

[Alpine85]

It definitely seemed to green up super quick this year. One weekend its nice for looking, then all the sudden its eye strain to the max. I did manage to pick up this winter kill recently though...
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/Alpine85/DSC00325.jpg

[steveo32]

wow terry when i read you picked up another sjull i thougt i would jsu be another dink:twisted: Congrats on the sweet find

steve

p.s. lets here what that guy tapes out at, too bad he had to die looks like he had some potential

[Rubicon500]

Steve I admit Alpine picked up a Duny Winter Kill But it doesnt come close to the "Winter Kill" you stumbled across...LMAO:lol:

[steveo32]

wow i would have thought we would ahve kept that a little more hush hush :twisted: I gotta admit i would have never thought i would have found that in the middle of winter:mad:

[StoneChaser]

Mooseknuckler and I were out grizz hunting on the weekend and found these sheds (no grizz though).
