Large shed antler, ALREADY!?!?
I stepped in the creek to recover a large shed deer antler and wouldn’t you know it was from the buck that I have been hunting. Darn the luck… if I see him and he still has his other side then I may decide to take him but if he doesn’t then I will let him pass sine there is no pride in shooting a large antler less buck IMO.
This is a large left side antler with 6 points on it still, and 2 have been broken off. So this deer is a possible 16 pointer and already shed his antler????? What heck can anyone explain this? I realize that he may have lost it in a fight but never seen a big buck rip the whole antler off only broken tines before.
I will post a pic when I get my camera back. I am really kicking myself now since I saw this deer within 50 yards of my stand and I only had my bow with me and couldn’t squeeze an arrow through. I left my ML in the SUV that 1 day! Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!! LOL
