So the other day I was out scout/hunting an area I had never been.
As I'm making my way through a section that looked very promising on the maps, I come across a fork horn shed. 1.5 year old deer and last years shed, so didn't think much of it. Stuck it in my pack and eventually found an area I couldn't pass up....so I decide to setup.
A little while later a nice fork horn buck is chasing a young doe around. They come right past me and offered a few easy shots, but he's too young. Then it hits me... This is the buck that shed the antler I found.
I found his shed from last year, then saw him that afternoon, I thought that was pretty neat.
Here is the shed:
Here is the buck a year older:
This morning I found a fresh shed from one of the nicer bucks I passed this year. So some bucks are dropping here. Hope he makes it the rest of the year, he'll be nice next year!
