Shedding has been great this year, finding lots of big ones as I hoped since few big bucks have been shot in the last couple years! The snow is disappearing overnight, ticks are everywhere, but so are the sheds! Heres a few good ones to drool over! :biggrin:

The above is a 77" typ with 20" of mass, found on 3' of snow!

Heres another 77"er with 20" of mass

The shed above is not mine!!! It belongs to a buddy, he found it about 6 years ago (so dont all rush here) he never could find the match or the buck!

This is the shed Ive been promising to show Tooley, as it resembles his buck from this past season!
I wouldnt begin to know how to score such a thing, but it is probably the heaviest mulie shed Ive ever held!
What these pics dont show is the thickness, its about 3" thick in the middle of that palmation!!!!!

And for todays finally, my best sheds to date!!!
I found the left side last week by fluke while snowmobiling, it scores 94" with 20" of mass, it also has an inch or 2 of broken and chipped points!
Many who attended the sheep banquet have already seen this one!

I spent an hour searching for its mate the first day, 2 hours on snowshoes the second day to dicover that it wasnt going to be easy!
I had fears that the other side had landed on the road and a sledder or quad guy might have grabbed it already! (Many restless nights)
Yesterday I decided to giver another whirl, 3 hours of intense searching turned up another 5 sheds, as well as the match at the end as I was en route for my vehicle!

The right side only scores 90" but has 4-5 inches of broken points!
Given that the mainbeams almost the same as my avtar buck, and the frame is a bit bigger, im crediting him the same inside spread of 24".
As shown hes got a 200" mainframe, add the extras he grosses 208"
Add all the broken tips back on and this buck probably grew a 215" rack after it was dried, probably a 220" back in september!
The best part is he's still alive!
