A lot of these giant bulls live in this low country year around. The camo helps us sneak into these areas and not blow the bulls clear out by not being busted.

I was just giving you a hard time.....but makes sense.

Very nice! Good luck and I hope you get the bull that dropped that!

Thanks for the great comments everyone.

We have not found the other side, but but I did find some other good sheds.









And my son found his first deadhead.

thats awsome..wat'll just that one big antler score..how much does a elk antler weight too

Thanks for the great comments guys ! :cool2:

Hunting Kuk,

The antler itself grosses just 158 6/8 (he is old and on the downhill side) he has lost a lot of length, but gained tons of mass and mass does not make up for length. A 400" bull's antlers will wiegh in the 14 to 15 pound range per side. This antler wieghs right at 11 pounds.
If i had the other side he would gross just over 360".

dang man i never knew a elk's antler was so huge jeeeze!..and on the downhill side !!!WOW!
