found a 4x4 rack

[BCBear]

On one of my trips out I stumbled upon this little 4x4 rack upside down by a pine. While not a true shed and only 14 inches greatest spread it was still a cool find for the bone pile. I have done nothing to it except trim some narlys off the skull and soak the skull part in peroxide for a few days. There's a hole on its left side and some wear on some tips

Heck of a find!

Obviously from this year. Curious, you mentioned a hole on the left side. Does it look like it might be from a bullet?

Just make sure you throw it back into the bush where you found it tomorrow,.. ;) ;) ;)

Seems to be the thing to do to avoid the rat finks...

You can see the hole in the seocnd pic, no way it was from a bully. Cool find

Nice rack. Nice find.

I am looking forward to going out into the bush in a month to hunt for shed antlers.

its not from this year. its at least 2 years old and probably older.

Take away the white from the flash and it's not that old. The second picture shows quite a bit of color left. Only a little damage by rodents. Although near a pine, if it were in the open exposed to sun and rain. Of course it's best to examine it in hand, to be sure.

[hunter1993ap]

its still not anywhere near fresh. if it was in the wide open sun the freshest i would say is last fall (2010), mabey winter but i still think its older. and squirels are not a good judge to determine age as i have found very fresh antlers completely destroyed. in the second pic you can see green on the tip which is a sign its been there for a while.

good find, it looks a liitle older to me.

[CanuckShooter]

I agree it looks like its been out in the weather for a while.
