shed hunting

[Quackaddict9]

I'd have to guess white-tailed deer shed.

[TonkaBass]

looks kind of moosey to me

moose

[shedaddict]

Hard to tell, but the more I kept looking at it, I started to think Moose. I assume this was found in an area with a mix of both.

[shedaddict]

Made it out on Tuesday night around the metro and finally found one in the metro! I found this nice 5pt walking along the edge of a swamp; about 30 yards from a road. I searched around for awhile but could not find the other side. I will definitely be going back to see if I can find it. I also found a dead nubbin buck as well.

if that is a moose, thats a really sweet find!! Im gonna say whitetail though. its not surprising to me to see an antler with mass like that in northern mn

[shedfreak]

yah im going with moose definitely on that one... no doubt in my mind

[tcumd]

moose shed...where did you come across that?

[shedaddict]

Went out again to another spot in the metro last Friday and found this 4pt; my biggest this year so far. I found it in thick brush on the side of a hill. I had scouted this spot back in February and it definitely paid off. I will be back to see if I can match up the other side.

shedaddict - nice one. That G2 looks like it's about 10" or more!

I acquired permission yesterday on a large piece of metro property. My two boys and I will be spending a few hours there this weekend. I will take some pics and keep everyone updated.

[shedaddict]

Monkster, that is awesome. I would think you'll find something as long as no one has trespassed. I am going on a family vacation for a week, so I won't be able to get back and look for that other side until next week. Although, I will shed hunt on vacation!!!

The G2 was a hair over 12"; definitely the longest G2 on any shed I have.

A guy I know got this pic from his deer cam two years ago in this same general area that I found that shed; I would love to find these sheds.

[Monkster]

Good luck on vacation.

That deer is amazing! Funny thing how my mind is thinking right now...I was thinking that those sheds in that picture would be so tough to pick out from the surrounding area. They would appear to be branches!!! ha ha.

Brother-in-law found a huge 6 pt bull elk horn this past Sunday. Hoping to go back out this weekend.

[Monkster]

Jim Bob - That would also be an excellent find! Now that I am into this a bit more, I wish I would have done more searching for moose sheds when I was younger! The moose population in MN is lower than it was 20 years ago, and I used to hunt towards the north shore of Lake Superior. Finding an elk or a moose shed would be fun, especially a very large one!

[Jim Bob]

He lives just outside of Golden Co. and I think he has found 4 of them the last couple of years and their all huge. One of them was the actual skull it was 6x6. Where he found the last one there is a herd of about 45-50 elk running around so hopefully we'll find a couple more. I'll try and get some pic's.

[B.S. Bait]

Just found this matched set tonight about 8:00 P.M. as i was coming out of the woods. Spotted them from about 50 yards away hangin in some brush!!

[horncrazy]

that is most definatly a yearling moose horn i've seen quite a few, notice the lack of rubbing marks near the base where a white-tail that size would definatly have been doing...

[hockeybc69]

Can someone post some pics of a moose that has antlers like that on their head???

I am finding that impossible to believe that its a moose shed.

[horncrazy]

look up moose horns on line they don't get very big horns until they are about four years old.

[Surface Tension]

Could you guys give me your opinions. Is this a moose shed or a whitetail shed?

I have to different opinions from a couple boone & crockett officals! I believe it is a whitetail. It scores 54 0/8 as a whitetail!!!

I say moose because of the shape but more so because of the texture.

[horncrazy]

i want to post pictures of the twenty or so horns i've picked this year but don't have access with my computer it's too protected for my work is there any other way to put them up... you can check them out on facebook search Scott Revier, in Fort Benton, MT. don't worry I'm a minnesota native but there are way more deer thus way more horns out here...

Here are a couple finds from last week. The bigger match set was found 300 yards apart, one on each side of a river. I found one side and a buddy found the other side a day later. The smaller match set was found just like in the picture. The flood waters dropped that log right on top of the one side. Most we find out here are covered in sediment from flooding so they are tougher to pick out.

[shedfreak]

yah thats sooo a moose. Ive seen plenty of em like that. if ya found the other side though, it would be a great idea to put em on a whitetail head.... most ppl wouldnt know the difference, and see a giant 6 point!

[Downeaster]

I just started shed hunting a week ago, having pretty good luck though how does this look for my first find?......lol how do i enter an image?? found the button but whats this about entering a url?
