This buck grosses 116 1/8″ NT despite have 4 broken tines. It was found on the White Mtn Apache rez. Another hunter named Alvin Pusher actually shot and lost the buck and someone else found it. The lower photo shows the buck with a shed that Alan Ellsworth bought this year that is from this buck.

Josh bought the shed on the right and Alan bought the one on the right from a tribal member of the White Mtn Apache Tribe.
These sheds are from the same buck. The 6 point (on left in photo) measures 56 5/8 and was shed 2 years ago (2002). The 4 pt (including eyeguard) antler on the right measures 50 0/8. That shed is from the 2001 shed season. Great buck. You can see how he changed in two years.

Josh says this shed is from the same buck that he took a photo of at a tank.
Josh says he now has two sets of sheds and one single off this same buck.

The top two photos show three incredible sheds from the same side of the same buck. They are probably not consecutive years, with 1 or 2 sheds missing between the one of the left and the middle one. From left to right, they score : 63 2/8, 61 1/8, 60 7/8.
In addition to those three right antlers from this buck, Alan has two sheds from the left side and thinks they match up as shown in the bottom two photos.
WOW! what a great buck.

This is an excellent pair of sheds found by tribal members in 2003 on the White Mtn Apache Reservation and purchased by Alan. (Josh Epperson is holding the antlers in the photo).
The antlers were probably shed in 2001. The right shed is a 5 point with a 5 inch base and scoring 50 6/8. The left side has 4 7/8 inch base and scores 52 7/8. This buck is over 100 inches without a spread!

This amazing set of sheds was found by White Mtn Apache tribal members in 2003 and bought by Alan (Josh Epperson is holding the antlers in the photos). The right antler is a 5 point that grosses 58 inches. The left antler is an 8 point with a gross score of 64 6/8. So this pair scores 122 6/8 without a spread!!! What an amazing buck. And this antler was grown during the drought in AZ.
I have put in close-up photos of both the left and right antlers for a better look.

Southern AZ
These photos show the pile of sheds Tyson has found since becoming a shed hunter in 2006. He has found 46 sheds and there are some impressive ones (like the one shown above).
The third pic shows the buck he calls the Big Fork. The ‘Big Fork’ buck is the buck he has the most sheds from, unfortunately he has never glassed him, and he think that he has gone on to the foothills in the sky. He is over 90 inches, as a 2x with 5+ inch eye guards.
The next two pics show The ‘Big Mass’ buck, which is a shed he found in 2008. He saw it through his spotting scope, and filmed the experience. He has never seen him alive, but he is hoping! He is the best scoring buck Tyson has ever found, his single side scores around 49 inches, not counting the extra trash.
Then there is a pic of a nice four point shed.
And the last photo shows the first shed he ever found (a fresh brownie from a 85-90 inch buck he saw in the spring of 2006) along with the two smallest sheds he has ever found.
Tyson’s dog is a Vizla named Briggs and he helps out with the shed hunting!

summer 2006
Tyson found these sheds over the last 3 days while hiking with his dog Briggs in Southern AZ.
Four of the sheds are mismatch (although he thinks they might be from the same bucks over the years). The two big sheds were found about 30 yards apart and measure around 105 (he lost 6-7 inches because of the broken G3 on his left side, also he had a double eyeguard which is broken). The G2s are both over 11 inches.

Dan found these sheds within about 10 yards of each other in the 1980s. He says he has found numerous sheds in the exact same spot over the years since then. Many are much smaller and some singles were even larger.

Josh found these sheds about 20 yards apart!! They score about 92-93″ given a 12-13″ spread.
Nice find!
Kevin and Brian Payne
Southern AZ
The top photo shows the 6 sheds that Kevin found May 15, 2005. Two of the sheds are from a big 4 point (plus eyeguards) that Brian and Kevin have been following.
The middle photos shows a set of sheds from the big buck. The bottom photo shows the four sheds they have from this buck.
The top left shed scores 40 2/8 and the top right scores 41 4/8. The top left shed was found by Brian during an archery hunt in Jan 04.
The middle shed scores 48 6/8 and Kevin found it in Jan 05 while archery hunting.
The bottom left is one of the fresh sheds found this last weekend and scores about 45 inches.
Kevin says this buck has been rubbing alot in the area trying to shed his antlers. There were two large, fresh rubs right where he found the antler.
The four sheds were found in a small area, about the size of an acre.
Kevin hopes to get out there and find the two missing sheds from this buck. (update: 8/25/05, Kevin and his brother Brian found another shed from this buck. It’s the white shed in the bottom photo that completed a set from this year. That shed was in the open, so it bleached out white very quickly. That shed scores 45 7/8.)
