Matched up my favorite shed from this year!!!

[WNY Bowhunter]

I stopped by yesterday to show a buddy of mine the turkey that I had just killed on his farm and he told me he had something for me.  He went to his truck and pulled out the shed antler of a buck that I call "Little Freak Nasty".  I had picked up his left antler back in December and had given up finding the match to it.  He was out herding up cows earlier in the week and found it stuck up in the branches of an apple tree right behind the barn!!! 

 

The set has 14 scorable points with another that's broken off and 4 more stickers under an inch.  He's got really awesome flattened/palmated beam tips.  I ended up trading him a 30 pack of beer for it...LOL.

 

Can't wait to see what LFN is gonna look like this year @ 4 years old!!!

Maybe 300 yds.

I never got a good photo of him at all in 2012.

 

Here he is in 2011 as a 2 year old... 

 

 

 

Here he is in 2010 as a 10-pt yearling...

I sure hope that he's more photogenic than he has been in the past...

Those antlers belong together! What a great set to complete!

I have to ask.... what kind of beer did you get him?

 

[WNY Bowhunter]

It was Miller Lite.  Actually, he was going to give it to me from the beginning, I just felt better giving him something in return...

[wooly]

Wow- you got a good deal on that antler,lol

Maybe he'll give you some more next year... sounds like the kinda guy you wouldn't mind finding that big ol' 170" rack.

I just found out that another friend of mine found around 15 sheds, including a real nice 10-pt set, while plowing up a huge beanfield that I checked out.  It was overwhelming looking out there and I didn't find any!!!

Hopefully you see him in stand this fall. He's not going to be easy to resist at that age.

We'll see how that goes...he's been like a ghost since mid-July of 2011.  I did have a bunch of sighings of him last year while spotlighting.

JUST KIDDING......AWESOME BUCK!

I think that I may try to restore the color on the shed my buddy found...
