You are on a roll, man! Surely nice sets of antlers you posted up until now, each and every one. I have been out once, so far, and nothing. Granted, there was about a foot of snow where I was hiking

Both of those last 2 are singles I am hopeful to find the match once the snow melts more. Still 8 inches deep on all but the south sides of hills.

Question for anyone reading..
What is the furthest away you have found a matching shed pair?
I have looked in atleast a 100 yard radius of both of those single sheds and come up empty.
p.s. I have yet to go into their bedding areas, just food spots and major game trails

A wise shed hunter once told me. "Find the beds and find the sheds." Id keep on the food for a bit yet. Still early so don't get inpatient and make them move. You'll get them.

Dang.. That is a thick one! I wonder if it is from an older buck out of his prime and on his way back down to smaller yet still thick antlers.

Mounted my first ones on a Mountain Mikes Skull..
I think it looks pretty damn good for a plastic head. Good, easy way to show off shed antlers. The burrs are to big of the pedicles of this skull by quite a bit, but you dont notice from a distance.

Trailcam check
I checked my trailcams again last weekend, and also saw 6 whitetail bucks of different sizes on the hoof. All still packing, central Alberta.

Nice work dustyb's brother. Nice fresh matching sets like that don't happen every day unless maybe around a balestack or a feeder. I live in central alberta and found a huge bull moose side and looked for 4 days until I finally got the other side 4km away. They must have strong necks. A lot of weight to pack on one side that far. We guessed him conservatively at 55 inch with big fronts and wicked mass.
