deershed Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 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.

woolybear Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Gotta love that feeling closing in on a set of tines you see from a distance! Can never get to them fast enough even though you know they are not going anywhere! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershed Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 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.

Tom2008 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 You can definately tell those two are a matched set. The other big one you found looks to have the same genetics as the matched set. Nice finds DS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
