bambeklr Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well just like many of you all on here, I have been hard at it looking for turkeys. Well Wednesday I hit the jackpot. Not with the turkeys though. Many of you remember the 2 nice bucks I shot in november. Well while snooping around my lease wednesday I came across both sheds from the 9 point I shot. They were laying a foot apart. What are the odds. I know have video of him in velvet, a pair of his sheds from last year and his head will be on the wall. I think the sheds will score a little better than the buck did when I killed him. I am planning on cleaning them up and having them stained. Then I may put them on one of those fake skulls from cabelas or just hang them from a string under the mount. right side of buck I shot right side shed left side from buck I shot left side shed front view of buck I shot front view of sheds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Cool find. I think i did the same thing this year. I found a set that are identical to the buck i shot this year (they were a little more chewed up then yours). I held them up to the rack and they are almost a perfect match, thing is he didn't do much growing the following year if they were his. I'll try to get some pics up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I would not put the sheds on a string nor mount them. I would get a pedistal made to mount you deer on then lay the sheds in a fake grass or stick/leave area like you found them on the top with you buck just over them. That would be the greatest mount there. I was almost in your boat but had some bad luck that day. I had my trail cam up and got three pictures of a very nice 12 point buck in 2008. January 3rd I found both antlers about a foot apart. Then during hunting season in 2009 I shot at the big boy and hit a berry bush limb and it deflected over his back and that was the last I saw of him. I got another trail cam picture and he lost two of the nontypical points on right side. No one ever claimed him and no sheds found so not sure where he went but he was seen after season so he did live. I then met a new friend that hunt about 5 miles from where I live and he found an antler that has to be of the same buck from a couple years back. Here are my pictures of what I have except the kill!

bambeklr Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thats a pretty good idea stone cold!! I had not thaught of that. Sounds very interesting. I will be talking that idea over with my taxidermist this week!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I saw one at the Illinois deer & turkey classic a few years back and I loved the idea of that. Now I would have to fill the tag! I will see if I have the picture of it still. I hope that I do that way I can show you what it looked like. The stand was about 4 feet tall and then there was a spot that the mount mounted to just over the base. It was really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
