Big sheds found.
 

Back in June I posted a thread about a large whitetail buck that my buddy from work got a picture of.This deer was seen on his property at the time he took the shot. My cousin,who I got permission for to hunt the property,had trail cameras out all this past season and did not get any pictures of the buck,nor did he see it while hunting.Now,back in the begining of January my buddy calls me one evening and tells me he is watching the buck feeding from his bird feeder.He calls me again a few days later and tells me the buck is back again,but that it is now missing the left side of its rack.He goes out the following day and finds the antler approx. 100 yards inside the woods from his back yard.The deer was seen again a day later by him and his wife with the right side still attached.Sometime later it was seen again but it had dropped the right antler.He had been looking for the missing side since that time and finally found it yesterday about a 1/4 mile from his house.The sheds are in perfect condition.When compared to the June photos,it doesn't look like the deer put on a whole heck of alot more length considering the growing time that was left from June through August.It is still a beautiful rack though.The drop tine on the left antler is about 10 inches long.You can see it coming down by its eye in the summer photo.Here are the pictures;the one from June,and the other of me holding the sheds.

No,not at all.My friend found it within a day of it being dropped.It still had blood on the base,and also blood on the surrounding snow.
