Shed dog...

[giles]

It was all luck...but I'll take the luck.

I never ran a cam on this property but another guy did. He sent me a few pics of some of the big boys. I'm not sure this is the same buck, but it's the only pic he sent me of another 8.

I did go out all afternoon and never found anything else. I combed the area that I found this one with no results. I walked the area for a couple of hours…gonna be a couple days before I can walk well enough to go look again. Oh well, if I never find another one, I'm more than happy with this one. I'll bring it too a TOO event, because pics do it zero justice. I suck at measuring…or I'd share the number I came up with.

Now that's a great find!

 

[motorbreaker]

Nice find man. Ive went crazy looking for the other side before. Hell it could be miles away.

 

[giles]

Thanks everyone! I'm still interested in the dog idea, maybe even more now to help find the other side. hahaha! There's another one that makes this dude look like a spike, thats the ones I'm really really after. These deer don't seem to really leave the property either, they have everything they need on it.

Great find. Hope you find the other side.

Nice find Giles!

 

[xbowguy]

Good Luck Giles. I hope you find that other set. Then I hope you kill him as well!

 

[giles]

Thanks Rick, wish we could of made the trip work out. Would of been nice to share the experience with someone. You were right about being hooked! Lol

Awesome shed! Huge mass, even better that you have a picture of him. I'm right down the road from you. Grew up in New Vienna but live outside of Greenfield now. Take St Rt 28 between the two all the time. Ever want another set of eyes let me know! Haha. I plan on hitting it hard the next two weeks. First chance I have gotten all year, very excited. Glad to see they are dropping in our area. The third and forth week of March is when the majority of them start dropping in our area. Good luck!

 

[giles]

Sounds good, I'm just off 28 on the other side of 62 and before 72.

Congrats Giles! That's a stud of an 8!!!

IMO, that shed is around 65", that's a 146-147" 8 I would think! Hope you find the otherside! Goodluck

I haven't really caught on to the measuring thing yet. Only been buck hunting for two years now. Been a meat hunter for 20 before that. I tried to follow what they had on the B&C website the best I could and came up with 78". Like I said though, I'm no good at measuring. I'm always just a tad high.

 

[giles]

Main beam is 23 2/8", if that gives you a better idea on the size.

 

[Bigslam51]

Mail it TOO me and I'll measure it for ya. Might lose the return address though

 

[finelyshedded]

Main beam is 23 2/8", if that gives you a better idea on the size.

I gave it 23",16" of mass(total at all 4 locations)and 26" of tine length total on the G1,G2 and G3....total 65".

 

[giles]

Your way beyond my knowledge...lol. it's badass to me and that makes it a trophy and a hell of a first find.

 

[Flatlander]

Sounds like your back is doing better......nice weekend to walk for sheds, or possibly dig into a coyote den:smiley_crocodile:

Any low spot in my area is filled with water...
