I posted a few pictures of this buck this year. But he shed his double side yesterday. Ray Fetherman photographed and found shed. Ray is a volunteer at the Arsenal.

Thanks for sharing John. That's pretty cool.
Does Ray get to keep the sheds?

I think he turns them. I almost certain he does not get to keep. I’ll ask him what they do with them and report back if I get an answer.

I lived in Highlands Ranch a couple years and been by the Arsenal a few times, I don't remember it being fenced... Curious, how would they know it dropped inside the Arsenal?

What accounts for the patchy hair on his muzzle? Looks like it might be symmetrical….??

Any pics of the pedicle? Looks like it might be about the same size as the other side (with the lower beam just growing next to the skull instead of out of it)?
