A Big Shed Antler(Pics)
 

One of the local kids found a big shed antler on some land neighboring my hunting spot. I'm almost 100% it's the same deer I saw once, during bowseason. I didn't count how many points he had but knew he had long tines, and good mass. Here is the picture of the shed. The picture didn't really do justice to antler. I also included a picture of it next to a nice 16 pt. deer rack so it can be compared to something. Here ya go. Can't wait to see him next season.

Some dimensions of the shed are; The G2 is 13 1/2" and the G3 is 12 1/2" The base is 7 1/4".

I noticed the browtines, or lack there of, on both deer are very similar. Is that common in your area?

I love those tall tines, thanks for sharing the pics!

In one area yes. The area the shed antler was found, they have very small browtines. The area is isolated away from any other spots within a couple miles, and the genetics have been the same on almost every deer in that area, that i've seen. All typical bucks with little gnarly brows. I found around 250 inches of shed antlers in the small 60 acre area, and they all looked very similar. It's the only area I've hunted where a deer and reach the full maturity but yet not have any kickers or non-typical at all. But if you head 3-4 miles from there to other spots, the antlers are completely different, with droptines, non-typical, anything.
