stoneam2006 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Gave 'er hell this weekend but not much to show for it. A couple more dead deer and a few arrows. Saw a bunch of deer, a few turkey, and a red fox out napping in the sun so it turned out to be a pretty nice hike after all. The 2nd arrow you put like that right...Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one more laying on the ground, so I'm up to 4 nice carbons on the season so far. Got a nice variety of broadheads to play around with in the off season now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerpassion Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 about 7 years ago I was looking for some sheds amherst/tonawanda behind some factories and a housing complex I had my camp coat on because that's what I wore to work that day I looked for sheds for a few hrs no.luck.on my way out I ran into 2 guys that took care of the apartment complex they were also looking for sheds I left went home then went and played some hockey that night I got home around 1am and a few minutes later a knock at my door a buffalo cop telling me that the Amherst police are looking for me some one said that I was hunting behind a apartment complex and took down my license plate the cop.duggested that I go to the police station asap and clear things up. I went to the police station right then and there and explained to a detective what I was doing I also told the detective that it was funny thatII'm being accused of poaching when I had cashed the dec to report 4 headless deer laying in a pile and this wasn't the first time that I reported such a find for that same location. the detective told me that if I didn't want to get in trouble I should just stay out of there. Lol, they've got all that posted with no tress passing signs now ! I live in raintree island ... Some big boys in there !

beachpeaz Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Saw this on fb figured I'd put up here for you guys lucky enough to find sheds Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk That's cool, but I could never bring myself to alter an antler in any way. I've had many offers for some of my antlers, including my nieces boyfriend who said "my dog likes chewing on them and they are so expensive at the store to buy, the next time you find some can I have them...." LMAO. NO! If I factored out the amount of hours I walk times my average hourly rate of what I am worth, NOBODY could afford what I have found...lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachpeaz Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Funny / ironic story. I would think that my fellow shed hunters would agree that finding a matched set is considerably harder than finding just a single side! So, my brother-in-law was in town for the weekend and we decided to do a little shed hunting (30 miles worth). I spot what appears to be a small piece of an antler. I walk over and investigate and see both sides basically laying on each other. I pick them up and shout over to my brother-in-law of my find. As he is walking towards me, and literally 10' from where I find mine, he stops and picks up another matched set....again, basically almost laying on each other. Granted, small deer, but 2 matched sets within 10' of each other. Crazy! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNY Bowhunter Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Put in about six hours today and only managed to pick up two more dinks... The last 60+ inch shed I found was early into the 2014 season, that was 50 sheds ago. I think I'm over due to find a big one!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockspek Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I think I may give up the active shed hunt. Maybe then I'll stumble on one. HA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill44 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Wow, I wouldn't have guessed anywhere close to that high. Do you have the stats broken out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes. I had the rack scored by a member of the Northeast Big Buck Club for Non Typical score, but I never registered it with the club. The attachment is my spreadsheet file of the numbers as extracted from the score sheet. It officially it's only a 19 pointer but the family always spoke of it as a 21 pointer because we counted two of the extra three points it had. I do show those lesser points on my spreadsheet. And added note: the inside spread is limited to 18" for sheds. We really don't know what the spread may have been but as mounted the inside measurement is 19-1/8.
