I was sick of work for the week, so last Friday a buddy and I took the afternoon off to cut some wood and fill the feeder back up to help the deer. We have found maybe a handfull of sheds in 20 years or so we weren't expecting to find anything on our trip. After filling the feeder, my buddy looks down and finds a matched set, having a total of 3 points, lol. We had seen this lil buck in the fall so it was still neat finding his sheds, right under teh feeder where he knocked them off trying to spin the thrower. Check out the before and after photos. Can you see both sheds?

It gets better.....About ten feet from the feeder, my buddy saw more tines sticking up out of the snow. This buck should be a shooter for us next year and it looks like he made it through muzzleloader. It's great to have one to look forward to already. We'll keep him full and growing. Any guesses on what the shed scores, antler junkies?:smiley_bril:

I forgot to mention that you can see the two little antlers in the daytime photo TOO. The deer kicked them all over the place in the other trail camera photos we have.

Just guessing: 16" main beam, 16" in time length 3,6,7 and 13" in mass? I would venture a 45"-47" antler? Great finds and congrats!

This is what we measured: 18.5 mb, mass 15", 2.5", 6.5", 6.5" tine length = 49". Great job from the photos Full Bore!
