Shed/Trail Cam match

jonsimoneau · March 09, 2012, 01:02:00 PM

We found a shed from a buck I filmed at very close range this past November. Found the shed exactly where I first saw the buck before getting the camera on him.

Here is a nice shed I found last sunday and a trail cam pic of him. Scored the side and its 82 inches.

Thanks Ryan, now if I can just find his other side. I have his horns for 4 years now.

Awesome!

82" plus lets just guess and say the other side is 80" then add a modest 18" spread and you're looking at a 180" whitetail right there...Very nice! Hope you find the other side.

Don't I remember you saying earlier in the year Travis you had a close encounter with him and then he disappeared?

Yeah TJ, I had him beded 50 yards across the fence on the neghbors ground during rifle season and i couldn't get him to cross the fence. Should of just shot him, they shoot stuff off our land all the time. Maybe doing the rite thing will pay off next year and I can get him with my bow. Hopefully I can get out tonight and look for the other side.

Travis being honest and having integrity ALWAYS pays off. Good on you and good luck finding the other side

BoonRoto · March 13, 2012, 07:01:00 PM

Great finds!

Great thread. Wish I had all my pics loaded on PhotoBucket, but I haven't got time tonight. Some monsters you guys are finding. I did find a 78 2/8" shed this spring that I do have trail cam pics of from the fall. Have searched several hours for the second side but no luck yet.

Top shed is one TJ found on one of my huntin places this past weekend.

Herdbull · March 14, 2012, 08:04:00 PM

Here is one we hope to cross paths with. I saw him three times last year, but only once this year. 16 points. Mike

WOW!!!

KentuckyTJ · March 14, 2012, 09:38:00 PM

I really want to see you get that deer Mike.

Chris O · March 14, 2012, 09:59:00 PM

wow that is impressive! Good luck this upcoming season!

March 14, 2012, 10:13:00 PM

cool!..he's got some mass,...his pic apears to be a fairly young deer too...thats a good find.

Herdbull · March 15, 2012, 09:08:00 AM

Yes I think he was 4 1/2 years old this past fall. His antlers are very dense, but has short beams. We know his haunts, but we are sure he knows ours too. Ha! This buck has similar genetics to one we were after a year ago. He has the style to just keep getting bigger. In other words, I bet his 7 year old rack will blow away his 5 year old rack. LOL Stuff for dreams. Me or my brother would love to get him next year though. Ha!

Great looking deer Mike. He will look even better in the next year or two with 20 or 30 inches more horn on his head. Good luck, hope you get a shot at him next year.

Fritz · March 16, 2012, 10:09:00 AM

Mike, you never cease to amaze me with the size of the bucks you hunt/kill! Great sheds and I hope you or your bros get a crack at him this yr.

Herdbull · March 16, 2012, 12:23:00 PM

4 point- He has similar genetics to this 6 1/2 yr old buck whose shed graces the cover of our DVD. So yes if he eludes us for a couple more years, it might not be all bad. Truth is uncertanty is the deffinition of hunting. Ha!
