GRONG Report post Posted September 7, 2008 You all know me and my GRONG orange shirt superstition. Well it paid off again with these antlers. Glassed this one up last Sunday but didn't have time to go get it. It was a long week wondering just how big and what condition it was in. Well yesterday morning I hiked into the area and rounded it up. Took a bunch of pics then started looping for the match. Make fun of the hat all you want but it sure keeps the sun off..... I looped around for maybe 10 minutes before I came up with the other side only 85 yards away!! Man was I pumped to see that it had 8 points on it as well!!! The set is a few years old and fairly weathered but I was happy to pick them up. Also found this little gem..... And on the way home last night this little peach...... Close to 4' long buzz-tail.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Thats a big O rattler! In that picture he looks like a 6 footer! I hate snakes, but I love how drawn out the colors are on that bad boy! I saw two of them today... Both of them had fallen asleep in their tomato soup on the side of the road (the only way I like them!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewp45 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 What an awesome find. A very unique set of antlers and an arrowhead I would say that was a pretty good day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentButDeadly Report post Posted September 7, 2008 I'm starting to wonder which is more non-typical, the antlers, or you! Bajeezus you are one bad-a-mo-fo! ps, my straw hat is way bigger and uglier -- the only size that would fit my giant head was the 'Shanghai Lifeguard'. the only thing I can stand to buy at Ace Hardware...

Shiras Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Weathered or not, that is a very nice set. I have no idea how you could glass that up and leave it till later, but it looks like it worked out for you. Great job on the arrowhead too! -Shiras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
