Stone Cold Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I went out bow hunting in hope to fill one or both of my last tags on 12-9-10! I Got to my stand and settled in for my hunt. I ended up shooting a nice 11 pointer and after I tracked his blood and found that he bedded twice I backed out. While I was backing out across the field I saw what looked like some corn stalks sticking up from the snow. I knew that the field was beans and the farmer planted winter wheat so I thought that it could not be corn stalks. I walked over to find a 4 point shed laying in the snow. I left it there and went all the way back in town and got my camera and a buddy. I got back and took pics of the shed and then found my buck so it was a great day for any deer hunter/shed hunter.

Stone Cold Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 congrats on the buck you shot. he looks like a wall hanger Thanks! Yes he is going on the wall! He is the biggest deer I have ever killed and this year has been the best year in my hunting life. I have downed 5 deer with a nice 8 point and this 11 point with the rest being does.

woolybear Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Way to kick it off! Nice early find Stones! I've heard of a few guys picking them up already around the states.....just none from my neighborhood yet. Couple more days of ML here before I go into 100% shed mode. Good luck the rest of the season and keep them ATL's coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck the rest of the season and keep them ATL's coming! I am getting good at leaving the sheds lay until I get a picture now. The big ones are tough because you just want to pick them up but I have been learning the patients on leaving them first. My 8 point and my 11 point I walked up to and just looked at them like there was glass inbetween us. It seems to be more meaningful to just thank the lord and admire your great trophies that way.

Sort of a ritual we go through like the shed doesn't count or somethig if you touch it before the ATL photos or have footprints in the pics. I get a little crazy with the photo shoots myself. Gotta get all the angles ya know,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta get all the angles ya know,lol. I know what you are saying! One of my best ever finds was really tough to not pick up. It is my best match set that I found in 2009 and then a match set in 2010. Here are the two sets: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
