Matched up a long lost set!!! ...Spoiler alert it's an eastern whitetail :(

[yotebuster]

This weekend I was out scouting for sign to start shed hunting for eastern whitetails. I drove down a road I've literally been down 2000 times in the last two years and something caught my eye. The snow had packed the grass down enough to get the tips up above it an inch or so. I assumed it was a 2015 shed but when I got to it and drug it up out of the grass I instantly knew where it belonged! I killed this buck in sept of 2014 and had one of his sheds picked up brown in math of 2014. Assumed the other was long gone. Still can't figure out why or how the rodents left it alone. On cloud 9 about finding it!!

The deer's right horn is the one I picked up this weekend. The left one with the long brow tine was found brown in March '14

Here is the buck when I killed him in sept '14

Only regret is I didn't have my phone with me to get an ATL when I picked it up.

That's an awesome buck. Great find too on the sheds. Score doesn't matter a bit but do you mind sharing the differences between both years? Just for educational purposes.

I didn't get a chance to score the new shed I picked up yet but he didn't grow a ton. He went from 4.5 to 5.5 when I killed him. I didn't have pics or shed the previous year so I don't know how much he jumped from 3.5-4.5. He scored 161 gross when I killed him which is bigger then I thought he would be. I figured mid 150's but that 10" brow on the one side kinda threw off my numbers a bit!
