  1. I headed back to the same area today to see if I could find it's mate.I figured I'd spend a couple hours looking and still come up empty. After about 20 mins. looking I spot some tines,it's the one I'm looking for. Already in the area I headed to another area I wanted to check before green-up takes over. A half hour of looking here I almost fall over after I see this one laying. I spent another couple hours looking for this one's mate with no luck.There's still alot of area I still can look so it's not over for this one's mate. I did stumble across this old piece of what looks like was a good antler at one time. Here's a pic of the set together and the other ones I found today.
  2. I was out Easter looking for some Easter sheds coming up empty big time on the sheds when I spotted this piebald. After the piebald I moved to a different area.I started looking shortly after noon and around 5:00 I found my first shed. It was getting late and I had another area I wanted to do one last final search in for the year so I headed there. I was walking across a hillside below where the deer usually hang in this area when I spotted tines down the hill a good 50yds. away. My first thought was I should have checked this area better last year.From a distance the antler looked faded and old like from last year. Getting closer I could see it was a fresh drop from this year and a nice antler at that. 2 more sheds to the pile and a nice piebald wasn't too bad for the day. Here's the 2 sheds at home.
  3. In early Jan. I found a little buck bedded in one of my areas.I wondered at the time if I'd be holding his sheds in my hands some time later. It was on a hillside in a isolated patch of woods that my competition doesn't mess with.There was very little sign in the area and this was the only buck I knew that was using this area.I kept out of the area til the other day when I went in to look for his sheds. Here's a pic of that little 8 pointer I walked up on bedded down back Jan 5th. Where I caught the little buck bedded is a favorite hang out here so that's where I headed to.I walked about 60yds past the spot the little buck was bedded and saw this. About 45 mins after hitting the better areas and ready to give up on the other side.I was walking the edge of the woods and an old hayfield I almost stepped on this. A little over 3 months after first spotting the little buck I have his matched set.
  4. You tell him Doe-ee. You guys are my team mates....
  5. Awesome!!I know finding that other side put a smile on your face. It's one thing finding a shed,a whole different ball game when you find one your looking for and when it's a Sweet antler,all the better. Congrats!!
  6. That's an Awesome find!!What are thge odds of that buck getting tangles up like that then you coming alone months later and finding his sheds still caught up in that mess??

  8. Great day finding the sheds!! I'd say you'll be hooked now. Most buck have 2 antlers one on each side,you better get back out there and try and find those missing mates.Good Luck if you get back out.

    I think we should get to split the no-show's potenial 30 points between the 3 other members. I knew I should have sand bagged... Love the signature for the team buckee!! Now if we could have someone offically change our name to Rack'n'Stack.
  10. These last couple weekends alone it's been Sat. and Sun looking from around 9:00am til dark. Since the beginning of Jan. it's been every weekend,but not as long of days.I took vacation 2 days and looked all day then there were some trips looking during the week earlier in the season. I'd say at least a couple hundred hours looking already this year.
  11. That's an Awesome shed,Congrats man!! Sure hope you can find it's mate...

    You guys are having an AWESOME year!! That is one Sweet shed Doe-ee!Looks like you guys really have to work for the sheds you get.I thought I had it bad looking in a leaf cover. Rack'n'stack sounds like a good name.If we can get the rest of the team in here we can decide. Here's a couple of my latest finds. I think the little dink sheds are the best. The bigger ones are sweet too. A nice set. And one in the open

  19. Always a shame to find them like that,but Awesome helping Hannah with her first find!!
  20. I thought they looked bigger then that.This set with a 20" spread has a gross score of 184 6/8's. Your set are a little short in the brows,but great tine lenght everywhere else?Definately better g-2 and g-3's. Anyway you look at it,that set of yours is a DREAM set!!Congrats!!
  21. Awesome set!! My guess on a gross score with a 20" spread would be 192".
  22. Welcome to the boards!! That sounds like a Sweet set,way to go!!Talking about sheds is only part of it,posting pics of those sheds is where it's at.
  23. I hope your saving some spots so when they start to drop you'll have some where to look. Your stacking the sheds up fast,Congrats on another one!!
