Oh now that's just way funny!!! Actually had I been wearing the GRONG ORANGE I would've found his last set of sheds too dammit! I didn't even have my video camera with me that day. That hurts just as bad............

Josh that thing is a monster!!! Is that 2 pickups that you have found that are over 130 now?! Keep it up man!

 

Yes Christian you are correct. Found my big typical 4pt buck back in '99 and it grosses 132 0/8", this one just 3/4 of an inch higher. Man I hope it's not my last but if it is that's ok too I guess as I've been very blessed to find what I have.

I sent you a PM Jason but in case you didn't get it maybe you'll see this. I think that'd be incredible!! Can't wait to see the rack on a shoulder mount one of these days. On a bronze, that'd be AWESOME!!!

That thing is unreal! That would be a good buck to scale down and do a bronze sculpture of. CONGRATS!!>>Jason

Thanks man but time in the field maximizes treasures found. Been lucky I guess but that's the 2nd giant I've found in nearly 20 years of pounding the hills. Maybe I'll find another next week....... HA!!!

You got a once in as lifetime find twice, I'm willing to bet you come up with another as well, way to go ;) Monstrous heads Josh. This will only be my fourth year out, I hope I can last 20, you the man. My biggest coues head so far is only 90 but i'm happy with that, Especially since my cousin slept 20 feet from it for two hours :lol: It was great. My heart would stop I think walkin up on those freaks!

Ya my heart stopped and my ability to speak stopped too. Was trying to call my buddy Gail on the radio and it was all just a bunch of mumbling and studdering, nearly incomprehendable. I was shaking and nervous as if I'd just shot the thing myself. Truly and awesome experience.........

:lol: :lol: :lol: Right on, Maybe I could tag along with you some day. I'm the same way, When I finally found a nice elk head last year I dropped to my knees and felt that same rush, it took me forever to find one. I'd be happy to show you some country as well. I'll pm you this march maybe we could make an outing.It would be one for the allbums for sure! For me it would be like playing catch with a Star Quarterback. I'm really wanting to find a big ol' couesy head :unsure: ! To be with someone who finds a big treasure is just as cool :o . Every hero needs a sidekick. PLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEE!! I got an orange shirt ready to go, Yeah, Ive been wearing the orange on some outings for a while, it hasn't hurt, that's for sure ;)

Oh come now, it seems as if you find PLENTY of sheds without the luck of the GRONG. HAHAHA!!! "Every hero needs a sidekick", that was a good one my friend!!

 

All my areas are picked pretty clean, I think, and am in need of newer areas so if you want to have me tag along that might-could get arranged. Although I don't like hiking to far from the truck, can't stand it actually. Oh and don't walk in front of me or you'll get a oak limb to the back of your neck...... HA!

I think you guys are on to something! Grong and AZantlerhead together on a shed hunt. The perfect storm of shed know-how and antler mojo. The only way it would be more perfect would to bring SillentButDeadly with you guys! (He finds lots too.)

 

Hmmm, me likey this idea.

 

If ya"ll ever do it, I look forward to reading the post!
