superguide Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Superguide Jr. had a weird deal this A'M- he shot a 4x4 buck but the horns had mysteriously shrunk when he walked up to it-the only thing that we can figure is that someone or something must of boiled them till they shrunk-he is quite shook up and will be seeking counselling.

sasksheds Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident It's a common known disease that I'm sure we've all had once or twice.It's called "Ground shrinkage".If the problem persists consult your local physition or eye Doctor.

fisherguy Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident Yup, a common ailment that seems to for the most part fix itself with age and experience though it can happen to any hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sureshot Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Re: Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident If I ever catch the little bugger that does that to me I will get even !! MAn I hate when he does that!! WHat gets me is how fast he is, It can only take me 5 minutes to get over and allready he has shrunk them on me, I personally believe its a alian that beams down, freezes the hunter shrinks the antlers then un freezes us just to see our expressions!!!!!!!!!

buckee Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Re: Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident Don't feel too bad. My buddy, who's fairly new to hunting, had a doe grow nubs right before his very eyes after pulling the trigger on her/him ...LOL. I think it was black magic or something. He now has her/him in the freezer, but had to use his "him" tag for her. ..LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS whitetail Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Re: Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident true story ------- last friday ( opening day ), a guy who has a camp close to us told everyone that he shot at a 6 pointer on friday evening just before dark. he said that he was sure he hit it but it ran. two of his buddies went the next morning and found it only 50 yards from his apple pile. He didn't think that they would find it. it was a doe, talk about antler shrinkage why is it, that the one "that gets away " is always a big one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
