Tim

RE: Racking up the bones
 

The X set is TIGHT!


i got you beat though..check out this monsterI left for the squirrels this evening..

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Troy, Nice collection.;)Someone been busy.:D

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Nice Job Troy. Some good looking finds there!

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Troy,
Is that one set from stretch buck?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Nice sheds. That one whitetail shed is just awesome. Whats your biggest whitetail shed this year so far?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Holy moly Pottenger, you're burning holes in your shoes man. Big congrats on the 7 pointer Chief, I know that finding that shed isjust as meaningful to you as killing the buck that was wearing it. That's a hammer of a buck. Wow. You've gotta wonder what ever become of that guy? Find it close to home?

I've been following this little shed competition between you and Tim, and I don't think you're getting a fair shake. Tim's got a "scout" (son)that he gets to send out on recon missions looking for sheddy hotspots, thenTim pays off the kid andgoes in there to vaccuum up all the easy finds, ya see. Then he comes on here boasting about being the king of the mountain. LOL J/k Tim. Nice pics man.

While we're showing off sheds, I'll show you guys my puny pile. I did find a pretty mean fork-horn (19" beam).

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Great work to both of you guys. I have tried to find sheds, but i just dont have the knack for it, the only thing i have ever found was a little spike. Must be no deer where im looking:D.

Shed, have you ever gone after those big horn? Sounds like you have quite the spot there.

RE: Racking up the bones
 

AWSOME JOB

RE: Racking up the bones
 

I need to measure this 7x side he should be... nothing really big yet, lots of little stuff, this is only the 4th mature buck shed I have found...but with the snow isfinally gone in the norths andthe big boys that drop early will start popping up, like this 7x last night..found it in a brushy north..

2 miles from my home..on a mountain I have never hunted..Hope he's still alive and I am going back right after work tonight to shed hunt it till dark. Looking for the other side..possible too he shed in that area this year if he still walking..Definatley a buck I would like to start hunting...I need more evidence ... ;)

Just one side off of stretch..I need to get into that North again and find that other side too.. lots of work left to do shed hunting..I have to beat the green up..

RE: Racking up the bones
 

I think i have seen you post over at the shed hunters site havent i Shed33?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

I don't think so.. Maybe a long time ago "North American Shed hunuter" I think it was..

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Wow Troy, nice pile of bone you got there. You find that matched set of elk antlers close together?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

tsoc,
Great yote huntingtoo.
That is such beautiful country out there.

RE: Racking up the bones
 

hit that new mountain again last night and picked up 6 more yesterday after work in 4.5 hours.. 2 old junkers, 4 freshies, including one nice set...

81 for the year

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Shed33 what do you do with them?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

throw them in a pile :D ... I like collecting them, I have them hanging all over my whitetail room. building an awesome elk chandelier out of my nicest elk sheds I have been packratting..its ready to be built.. rattling antlers. lamps.. etc...Did I say... like collecting them too.. :D

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Good question

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Dang Troy, you're making me want to skip work one of these days to get out there and hunt hard for them.

I've been finding a few here and there, but all really old ones.

RE: Racking up the bones
 

last night the little 4x (working on being a 5x) I found in a tree.. 3rd "hanger" of the shed season

RE: Racking up the bones
 

This is the face of a man who just found one of his targets for 2007. Look at that grin. LOL Awesome work chief.

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Man those sheds have some nice mass

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Yeah Troy looks a little gleefull with that matched set from a very nice 5x5.I am guessing he is hoping for more tine length from that buck this year! That deer has some serious bases and eye guards! Mid to high 130's?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

RE: Racking up the bones
 

My god, where do you keep all that bone :DJust once Troy i would like to see a pic of you whole collection together. Yours to TJF.

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Congrats on the sheds. Love the mass on the set!!

They are talking rain so hopefully I will make it out this weekend. Boss is chomping on the bit to get springs work under way. If I have to work, Tyler will be hitting ithard as we still have a few areas left to search.

Went out tonight just to finish two areas that we had a little walking left from before. Was a bust butthey needed to be checked just incase. Great tosee you picking up some.

Tim

RE: Racking up the bones
 

i still have never found any sheds

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Yes sir Quick this is a good buck for North Idaho..

Scot, he should gross about what you said, mid 130s ...good mass short tines.havent scored him yet.. that single 7pt side above grossed 69.. Both found on the same hill. :D

Still havent found any pigs yet this season.. 70+ inches a sidein this country is rare.. for whitetails..

Dan, when I reach 1000 sheds hangingin my basement I'll take a photo, still got some work to do.. :D

Tim, thanks, coming from the shed master.. I appreciate it. Thanks for your recent photos..good luck to you and Tyler ..with the rest of your shed hunts..

RE: Racking up the bones
 

Shed, you ever go after those big horn out there?

RE: Racking up the bones
 

NJ, I will start putting in for the draw as soon as my two boys are big enough to go with me. Its a once in a life time thing, so I want them to be a part of it, same with Moose in Idaho.. I figure about 8-10 years from now ... my boys are 6 and almost 4
