Hey guys, looks like sheddin' is shut down for a little bit with all the fresh snow but here's some photos from last weekend's expedition.

I took a buddy from work out with me this time. He's never been sheddin' so I took him to the field where I found the two matched sets the previous week. I was pretty confident there would be more in the area and it was a wide open field so it would not be hard to spot antlers
I Picked up this nice 5pt first. I spotted the base sticking straight out of the snow from about 300yds. It was another one of those "moose turds" that nearly got ignored.

as it lay:



we were heading towards a pile of shredded bales on the far side of the field. As we got closer I glassed the stack and spotted a medium 4pt on the side closest to me, we'd only been walking for about an hour so we stopped to take a photo of the finds.



After taking the picture, my partner stepped back to take a leak and found these two little guys not 3 feet from where we'd walked past the bales to get the other antler ops:



We split up again and not long after I heard Tyler shout that he'd found another. Turns out it was a small moose antler that had not been shed but broken off of the skull (possibly from a wolf kill) . Not long after that we cut several fresh sets of wolf tracks, we could tell they were especially fresh because the dog got pretty squirrely and refused to leave us :lol:
Next it was my turn and I spotted this nice 5pt shed a ways in front of me.

as it lay:



My sidekicks both came over for a look and we decided to split up and keep an eye out for the match. Tyler hadn't made it 100 yards when he found it and another little 4 pt.

matched set:

the rookie with a full pack:


We kept on for another hour or so with myself picking up one more small 4pt. At the end of the day we had a good pile of bone, 9 in total. The only down side is that the rookie beat me 5 - 4:lol:
