That’s about it for me it’s getting to warm. Nothing today. Total is two pairs and five singles and two turtle shells.

I was in florida during the warm spell. So I haven't had a chance at all to get out so it's been upsetting. Seems like all the weekends are snowy and my cabin fever is hitting full peak. I've cleaned and washed just about everything in the house just to stay busy lol.

I’ve used Golden Oak stain and its worked well,  a guy named Peter Porter online sells  “ antler Magic” That is supposed to work really well. It’s hard to track down , but I have his email if anyone wants .

Here’s  a Golden Oak done one .

i think wooly posted something about getting back a natural original color without the gloss look. reason i shared it.  honestly, i think the golden oak looks really good despite it's glossy.

Thanks , that was fresh. I’ve since worked over some trees with it as well as taken some steel wool to it , to  knock down the shine .

I’m going to do an antler mount with it . 

Thats the only buck I’ve lost in bow , found it two years later .....

Was embarrassed to,not find it and when I did wasn’t going to display , due to the circumstances .

Cool. I've never seen one  here in broome. Found a couple of woods turtles walking down the road but havent seen a box turtle since I moved back from Alabama.

[NonTypical]

See them all the time down here on the Island.

Big OLD shed was my only reward today. Found the herd and didn’t see the 8 that was still holding a few weeks back so I assume he dropped. Pretty sure there are 8 points on the ground somewhere just no where I looked

 

Biggest base I have ever found

Yeah. Was scouting new areas today. Just as I was saying there's no way i can hunt this cause I don't think I'd be able to recover anything but a drop on the spot shot, I found him. Thick as could be with brambles. Hunter could have walked right past and not seen it. Too bad, but at least it provided a good meal to the forest creatures.

It's been a rough season...was extremely happy to discover this awesome palmated shed yesterday. No luck with the match yet.
