Well Joelpresmyk8 decided to take me into a spot he had found a couple browns this year today. Started at sun up and he had 1 decent 6 point and a smaller shed before 8 am. The day was draggin on by 1 pm with no more sheds, compounded by the fact I didnt bring enough water. Well around 1:15 we made a random decision to walk out to the edge of this canyon.. Soon as we get to the edge we hear something crashing out of its bed down below us. I took off down there maybe 50 yards to try and catch a glimpse, of course im dreamin of it being a big bull knockin his sheds off as he crashes through some brush.. I walk around a bush.. AND IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Just like you imagine in your head, it happened. I see the first shed and start hoopin and hollerin while Joels telling me to wait to get it on camera, we walk down there and the other side is 20 yards away!! A little bit of brush kept us from watching a sweet bull shed both his horns right in front of us. Had to sit down and make sure I wasn't hallucinating from dehydration for a few minutes, don't think I'll ever top this in my life.

 

Joel has most the pictures but I'll post what I got till one of us can.

 

The bases were literally wet from whatever liquid is under their pedicles.

It don't get any better than that. Not much deduction in them bad boys. Congratulations on being in the right spot at the right time and for sharing your experience with us. That's a memory that won't ever be forgotten. :)
