IowaDeerHunter Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Finally had some great success shed hunting! In all we only ended up with foursheds, two little ones and two big ones! On march 19 My brother sister and I went to look. Started off slow, but after a few hours of walking my brother found a small 2 point side. It didn't break off at the usual spot, but it broke off with soe bone still connected to it??? Anyone know why? A few miutes late i found a small 3 point shed, with a big 4 inch brow tine. That was all for sheds but we found mnay cow bones, including 4-5 skulls, and my brother even found a hawk skull! Also found two deer skulls. Those cow bones really fool ya. We went again on March29, I think and started off slow again. After more hours, and miles of walking in the timber, we decided to follow a trail through a ten year field(like CRP). My brother yelled out deer, and almost ran over a nice shed. It was off the same deer/shed he found last year. It was 58 inches without a brow tine so we figureif would be roughly 62 inches, andgiving it a inside spread of 16 inchesit would be caround 140 (with a matching side of course) Fiveminutes later i stumbled upon a big one. pulled it out and found its g-3 and G-4 were both broken off. It has 25 inch main beams, 8 inch brows, and 11 1/2 inch G-2, I scores 62 2/8ths without its G3 and G4. Giving it a 8 inch G 3 and a 3 inch G 4 it would score 73 2/8 inches. With a matching side it would be 146 1/2 inches, and with a 18-19 inch inside spread, if you compare it to our other mounted bucks you can tell it is wider, and get a pretty good guess, it would go in the lower 160s. pretty nice I would say.
