Diamond Archer 01 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 This may come off as a stupid question to you guys but I am just curious about it. How do you tell that a shed is a whitetail shed and not a muley shed or the other way around. I can tell some of them apart but how do you tell like the difference between a whitetail spike and a muley spike? I am just curious about this and figured some of you guys know.

buckee Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 A spike is a spike, and it's pretty tough to tell them apart, other than where they were found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleyman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Well like I was telling you earlier. It is pretty much impossible too tell the difference. It is just kind of the area u find it in. Like we found a couple of spikes today but we just knew that they were muleys because that is mule deer area and Bret had seen big packs of muleys there. But if u put a muley spike and a whitetail spike beside eachother it would be impossible to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I doubt you could tell the difference.....I would have to agree with Carson by knowing what is in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleyman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Woops, I meant to say big heards of deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiepredator Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I agree with everyone else...when it is a spike you can take a pretty good guess of what it is depending on the area you are in. When an antler is from a mature deer, it is really easy to determine if it is a muley or whitetail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
