Default Another Successful Shed Hunt

Went out shed hunting again in Montgomery County and got a matching set. They were right next to each other - still on the deer's head. I found a cross bow bolt about 100 yards up the road so I guess someone didn't find their buck. It was badly decomposed and I still can't get the smell/taste out of my nose and back of my throat. Since I wanted the antlers, I had to rip the head off of this half-rotted buck and carry its stinky head about a half mile (gagging and puking all the way). Tomorrow I'm going to saw the antlers off and clean off the skull plate (that's gonna suck). I might as well gag myself tomorrow morning and get it over with.

It's a six pointer but a very big one. Very tall rack and as heavy as any big 8-pointer I've seen. I'll post pics when the maggots are all gone.
