Foss's 2008 shed season.......

[fossilman]

I'm doing mine over from last topic.....To get a fresh start for the shed season..........
Of cource this is my first find a month or so ago............

 

[fossilman]

Yesterday it was unseasonably warm here(in the 40's)so I went out to scout some antlers and deer........They are still carrying,but some are dropping...
Anyway I came upon this buck,looks like a shot to the chest,but must have been to small...............Or it ran and they couldn't find him......

 

[deershed]

Don't feel bad about still waiting on that first fresh shed of the year,your not alone.I've seen a few I know have dropped,but can't seem to find that first one.Good things come to those who wait...

Won't be long Sir..
That second buck doesn't look like he was laying too long.Do you still have any hunting still going on there or poachers?

 

[Brettski]

I'd hate to think that someone thought he was too small...looks like he's got split brows on his right side...

 

[Sleepy]

hopefully it was a buck that the hunter couldn't find.... hate to see that happen... can't wait to see more to your collection as the season goes along

 

[fossilman]

I think its from this seasons hunt,the cold preserved it............Coyotes haven't found him yet.I've been seeing lots of does too.......(dead)..
Here are the antlers off that dead buck............

 

[whitem]

congrats, I like the ladder got one just like it!

 

[TazBux]

Good start foss.Shame about the little buck.Their will allways be one or two idiots ruining it for the rest of us,That i can be sure.



PS:I to also like the ladder.i'll be making one just like it.

 

[Predator 1]

Those fresh ones will be comming yet.....Slow for a lot of guys yet I think, although others seem to be doing quite well. Too bad about that buck...doesn't even look scavenged at all.

 

[Kurtish]

Bummer about that dead buck, he had some pretty good potential. I love that split brow! Won't be long now and you should start getting into the fresh ones

 

[fossilman]

Finally the weather is breaking and I can get out there to hunt sheds..........
Went out today near town,found a few...................

These were from yesterday-forgot camera(rolling eyes)..

These are from today....

This about as fresh as you can find....lol

 

[TazBux]

Nothing like the smell of fresh sheds in the morning.Great stuff.

 

[TazBux]

Gee.It's been awhile since I made the double posting misstake....

 

[Kurtish]

Way to go Foss! Nice pickups

 

[deershed]

Great job!!

 

[fossilman]

Went out again today,but snow is to deep for me-Have to wait a week or so now,till its gone..

 

[fossilman]

(ha ha) Going to have to buy some kind of basket for my little spike antlers...

 

[deershed]

Are you cutting on spike antlers?

I got alot of those little buggers in my plie.

 

[fossilman]

Seems like it huh..........lol....Some are still carrying,but spring is getting close....
Thinking of packing a lunch and head west of here about 150 miles and do some elk shedding again...

 

[fossilman]

Sorry haven't been on for awhile(my Dad passed)so I took some needed time off...............

Well I was out today,looks like everyone has beat me this year on shed hunting(ha ha)...I do have a few here.......

When I was back home in Montana last week my buddy gave me this shed he found...Its a mulie and quite old......

Than my brother gave me these Mulie antlers,I'll get them cleaned up more and do a european mount on it.
Stick it on my wall...................
