Wonder if he'll be bigger this year?
Something tells me that you already have your "Plan 'A'" area figured out!
Best of luck to you! Here's to you posting a pic with this year's antlers still attached.

"What state?" has been asked a couple of times. Since he's from Texas, I'm guessing a high-fence ranch there.

No offense taken and no offense meant, but I wouldn't be caught dead on a high-fence elk ranch in Texas. :)

Gila? I was out in the Gila scouting the day before season opener, walking up mountain in moonlight and came across a single shed this size glowing in the moonlight. Looked for it's mate the rest of the hunt but never found it. Chased its owner, who was a magnificent 7X7, for several days but could never get a shot even though I got within 40 yards a couple of mornings.
Great find!

Congrats that is an awesome find! No squirrel nibbles either. Were they laying right next to each other? I found one big set of sheds, also in NM, and they were laying on top of each other. The critter has to be eager to fix the imbalance quick when that heavy.

Those sheds make you look like a midget. I assume you're not 4 feet tall and 90 pounds?
From: coonazz
08-Apr-16
Nope - I'm 6' 1" 220lbs.

Eh, weak 3rds
Now thats a gila monster. Lets see the score sheet, I got one day of horn hunting in the gila this year and found a decent 320" set. But good god that place gets pounded by all walks of life on horseback atv etc...

"Those sheds make you look like a midget. I assume you're not 4 feet tall and 90 pounds?"
LMAO!!
And you gotta be happy that the six year old got her "cute" from mom. Gotta love the smile. My kids love sheds too.

I'd love to know an estimated score too. That's a toad.

Those remind me a lot of these. They put an obscene spread with these sheds and scored it at 488", but yours look to have a little more length. Could they hit 500?? Looks like you could start a nice college fund for the little one!

Awesome find! I went out too early this year and the bulls still hadn't dropped. I did find this year-old set recently, but it's just a raggy compared to yours. Maybe I'll get lucky and find some during spring turkey next week? Congratulations!!

Where did you get the shirt?
Nice rack!
From: Dennis Razza

WOW!
From: Mule Power

Wow. What sometimes blows my mind is how such big bulls can have such weak fronts. Cover up everything from the 3rds up and guess the score. Then cover up the 1sts 2nds and 3rds and guess it.
It seems like in some areas once the 4ths start growing like mad all of the growth takes place from there back and the fronts pretty much quit developing. Or is it just a genetic trait? Do you see bulls with good fronts in that area?
Either way damn! Every hunter's dream. Every shed hunter's dream too. Congrats!

Mule..Do you thing it has anything to do with moisture? For example if it was really dry in the spring but wet in late summer you'd possibly have a rack with weak fronts but a great back end?? Just a thought.

Found this one in Colorado the other day that I missed last year. Still looking for the other side.
From: Ziek

About 155, plus at least another 13 broken off. Probably in the neighborhood or 370 - 380 bull, in tact. Pretty good for this area.

Just found another nice pair on a short walk. Still seeing lots of elk with headgear though.
From: Ziek

Found a few more on another short walk from my house in a different direction. You'd think I would have found a match to one of those elk. They were all within about 1/4 mile of each other.
