camelNS Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Found my first shed of the year.I was very surprised to see a shed so early.It seems to be only a day or so old.Still has some skin and hair around the base.Fresh bark also on the base.It scores around 64 B/C gross.4pt with a 2" kicker near the base.26" main beam.

camelNS Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Re: As they lay 04/05 Shed Pics... Yep its the earliest i've ever found one from a fresh drop.I've heard a few reasons why he shed his antler so early.1.he may not have been in the best health and highly stressed from hunters,predators,etc.2.mature bucks drop their antlers first.3.something to do with the rut being over and something causing the antler socket to dry out and the antler drops off.Anyone ever hear the same reasons or know why they would drop their antlers so early?
