side to side shed differences, Bummer!!
 
Well the fishing this morning was so so. I could not find any early mushrooms, so whats left?? shed hunting of course:DFound the other half of one my son found a couple weeks ago. When he found his, we said man that is going to be a shooter next season, but when i found the other half i was excited, but somewhat dissapointed. It barley has a brow tine (twisted at that) and only a G2. But thats shed hunting!![8D]Here is both, and the bottom pic is when he found his, im sure some remember the pic. I found mine 100 yards from where he found his (its the same buck)

His

Awesome dan! You never know what might happen to him next year...he still will probably be a shooter! Hopefully he will really blow up!

That looks like a good deer in the picture behind you on the mantle.

Yes, that buck in the pic behind me was a good buck, i killed him in 2005. He grossed 159" and some change.

I would say that he will be a shooter next year, he might not have the most symetrical rack in the world, but i would consider him to have a ton of character. Good luck with him.

those bases would make some nice knife handles.

Either way it is cool to find the set. You never know what might happen between now and then. He might blow up and be huge or he might get hurt and be smaller. Let's hope for option #1.

Oh, but i cant bring myself to cut up a good shed (personal finds) anyway:D

We have found a few setsover the years like that too. Seems like it is getting more common for seeing lopsided racked bucks or finding sheds to them.

The sheds look like they came off a 2.5 year old buck. A lot could change with his next rack. Bucks around here don'tstart showing their potentialuntil their 3.5 years old. They usually take a big leap in rack size from 2.5 to 3.5 years old. I wouldn't rule him out yet !! He might surprise you.

I agree 100 %, i was thinking on the line of a 2 1/2 also. Its the same in my area, big things happen from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and the mass really takes off from there. like you stated, not ruled out.

Hey Dan, That shed reminds me of a lopsided rack that I got trail cam pics of last summer and was later killed by a friend of mine. I will attach both pics so you can see for yourself. If he turns out like this boy did you won't be disapointed. Good luck with him next year.

Bloodcreek, if you are disappointed with him just let me know and I will do everything in my power to dispatch him for you;)
