Apache7mm Report post Posted April 11, 2005 Hey everyone, anyone out looking for horns? the shed forum has slowed down a little bit of lately but hopefully it'll get going again soon, well i finally got a chance to go out again and made another trip to the hills, picked up 2 sets, one from last year and one from this year, the brown set i have found now 3 years in a row, this bull has dropped in almost the exact same location each year, i think he's on the decline starting this year though, last year's 6x6 set gross scored 377 and net 371, and this year's set gross scores 366 and nets 343, he's got 23" of deductions this year, too bad but the good thing is that he's still out there so it'll be interesting to see next year's set when the time comes, well i sent the pics to Amanda so they'll be up soon, good luck on all your adventures in the woods everyone!

KGAINES Report post Posted April 12, 2005 It does sound like he is on the decline, but maybe with all the rain and new growth out there he will have one more good year, and maybe you can find him still attached to the rack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted April 12, 2005 I went out Saturday not specifically looking for sheds. I found a 6*7 bull lion kill, antlers still brown. Rough scored him at around 235 inches. The tines were quite short but he had pretty good main beams and pretty good mass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apache7mm Report post Posted April 12, 2005 yea we picked up some pretty good racks that day, too bad the 7x4 was broken though, the broken side looked to be a little more massive than the 7pt side, that brown set from this year is still out on the mtn somewhere so i plan to make another pass through the area and try to find just that brown set, it'll be worth it to cover the entire area really good just looking for that set, but then again its always worth it to just be out there all day long and then come home all beat up from the hike, i hope to get to go out again this coming weekend and hit up a place we havn't been to in a couple of years, gonna take the camera again for sure and try to get some more pictures, happy shed hunting everyone, let's see them horns.

Apache7mm Report post Posted April 18, 2005 went back out again this past weekend, decided to go to an area that had been covered already by at least 5 or 6 crews but i found a really big 7pt here last year and was hoping to maybe get lucky and find this years set or maybe the match from last year, turns out everyone cleaned house pretty good, not even any old sheds left haha, we did find one nice 6pt, scored it right at 161, his G-3 was 22", pretty good looking antler but no match, getting pretty hot out there now too but still no snakes or bears, not that we seen anyway, plan to go back out at least a few more time this year so hopefully will still be able to bring out some more racks, happy hunting everyone and break out them fishing poles cuz it looks to be some good fishing this summer!
