[tjm]

This is 1 side of the shed i found i'm looking for the other side but 90% sure someone already found it.If you know anyone who found something like this from Rochester area please contact me

Heres a couple more the bigger of the 2 scores about 80" this is off of the buck rappinjack missed 20 yards away on 3 legs during the muzzle loader season.

Story is this big boy was bedded down so i set rappinjack up on the end of the fenceline i walked 2 miles around the back side of this buck.Once i got on the back side of him i was walking with the wind i walked within 15 yards of him bedded down.Weather was -8 windshield 15 mph wind blowing straight at this buck.

Being i had tried my best to get him a big buck this past season i told myself i would NOT shoot this buck until rappinjack put a round in him 1st.GRRRRRR he missed it ran by him on the otherside of the fenceline half speed on 3 legs a poof of smoke and off the buck went.

Well rappinjack he look like anything you seen up close inperson??? He almost left hoof prints on your chest i know he left snow in your face after you missed

TJM its getting deep now!!!!!!! I could of shot it but i would of risked shooting you and i feel no deer is worth it. And by the way you shot first.

Incredible antlers Todd!

Hey, where is that video you were going to send to me to post?

[jlm]

I agree, very nice! MN sheds? The snow is still too deep where I shed hunt so you guys are making me a bit anxious looking at those. Nothing better than bone hunting!

blb,the video is at the blue goose with mark and ron.I'll get it this comming weekend.I have it on a cd,tape plus still on the camera what 1 will you need??

Rappinjack

Get to the gun range you only have 8 months to get ready.

I could have shot that buck laying down right infront of me correct???????????? But noooo i was being nice guy and let him run towards you once he started to turn away from you i shot to try and turn him and it worked he then about ran you over.Thanks for not shooting me too but but butttttt once he jumped back on the other side of the fence line umm what 10 yards from ya you should have shot dropped the buck so it would have made my effort feel better.

All i can say is that buck has 9 lives.He's on 8 now this year i'm not going to be so nice if he's that size or bigger.Besides that the 2nd chance you had at him headed into the pines should have been it too.GRRR@that chance as well.

Found another shed that was chewed up looks like a 4 point but my guess would be if not chewed up it would score in the mid to high 60's.Almost 6" base it was laying under an oak tree in the same area i found the others

all the sheds i found were within 20 yards of oaks/creek looks like they been diggin for accorns

All MN antlers but the ugly non typical white antler in trunk.That 1 was from Iowa 2004 i stumbled over while making a path across the cattails to my deer stand.Very lucky find.Never did see the buck that year with any growth looking like that 1 but we shot a monster buck with no antlers early jan that was on it's death bed could have been him.Old grey haired buck with huge head the biggest hooves i have ever seen on a deer.Buck had been laying for some time in the same spot all the snow around him was melted and about 5 pounds of droppings all his hair on the inside legs was gone.Gone from urinating on himself.Never would have seen the buck but we smelled something bad and followed are nose there he was 5 feet away barley breathing

1 in my hand plus the other 2 in the 2nd pic posted are the only ones living today all the rest have either been shot that i know of or are no longer in my hunting areas.Some people i hunt with tend to spook them away

TJM, i was sneeking up on him he was on the other side of the line from me same side you were coming down.YOU pointed your gun down and through the line fenceand shot i got up from crawling to see and he came over to my side i pulled up at about 25-30 yards and there you were in the way and then he cut back through the line and ran down the waterway full steam alot farther than 10 yards from me!!!!!!!The poor deer got powder burns and a severed leg from you!!!
