Turkeygirl Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Today I had my sister drop me off on this old railroad bed that winds through some nice woods and farmland near by. I don't hunt this land but the public snowmobiles and such on it so I will hike in the spring and look for sheds. I couldn't check out a few fields I wanted because it sounded like logging was going on nearby so I took a detour through the woods above the field, finding no sheds. I walk the end of the trail out to a local road and as I head towards the road, the trail goes along a corn field. Our dog Lucy is in the field and I glance over and see the round, smooth shape of a tine. I run over and find the biggest, best shed find of my career! Folks, this is a great shed for NY; they don't get much better in my neck of the woods. I am so pumped, especially since I found no sheds last year; what a way to break the ice! The first photo is as it lays. I will get 2 more photos up later, since they are taking forever to load; another one of the shed and one of a HUGE rub.

Turkeygirl Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: Wahoo! First shed of 06\' Thanks guys! Here are the other photos. This is of the shed at home; there a nickel near the base so you can see the size better. Here is the photo of the huge rub I found. It wasn't anywhere near where I found the shed; could be the same buck but I don't know! It's the biggest rub by far I've ever seen and a good one for NY state! My hiking pole is there so you can see just how big the tree is; the rub is basically around the entire tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: Wahoo! First shed of 06\' I forgot to mention also, you can't really see it in the photos but the G2 is bladed on the other side, it's kind of like a triangle to put it, kinda cool.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: Wahoo! First shed of 06\' Ruth that is an amazing shed!!! I know what you mean about them not getting much bigger here in NY, unless you hunt Westchester or here in Rockland, but still,a 4 x 4 is a very respectable deer in NY. Congrats on a great find! Now I gotta get out there and look.. but it's raining here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
