SilentButDeadly Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I've found several fresh sheds in the last few weeks, and all of them reek of urine. Does the buck urinate on his own antler after he sheds it? Or perhaps is another buck urinating on it to try and mark his territory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muley Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Probably a coyote or fox marking his territory, because they smell a different smell off the antler. Weird though, maybe epperson has found a different way to collect sheds.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I agree w/ Muley. Probably a fox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentButDeadly Report post Posted June 8, 2006 The bottom pair have 11 inch G2s. The two in the upper left appear to be from the same buck, different years. The rest are all singles, couple of them old - 6 are fresh and stink. As far as the stink goes, I haven't smelled fox urine before. I would say that the smell doesn't quite resemble that 'fresh band-aid' smell that I attribute to buck urine (maybe you think it smells like something else, but to me it is band-aids)... Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRONG Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Awesome sheds man!! 11" G-2s!?!?! dang! I'd say that's it's probably fox pee. One spot in 21 I was shed hunting about 4 years ago I found 11 sheds in one day and most all of the fresher ones either had fox pee or poo on them. I think he knew where every shed was on that ridge. That pee is a wicked nasty smell too. I didn't realize it till the warmth of my hand kinda heated it up and it got sticky and stinky! Nasty suckers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentButDeadly Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Here is a better pic of the 11" G2's, the main beam is 17.5 with a base circumference of 4.5... I'd estimate him scoring around 105 (maybe 110 if he didn't have a broken G3 on his left side). It was one of those 'holy crap' moments when I saw the first one on the ground. I wonder what it would have felt like not to have not found the other one... I'd probably still be out there wandering around looking for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
