Found a matching set of white tail, non typical antlers where I hunt so I stuck them on a plastic euro skull. They were stuck in hay bails that he was munching on in winter. I have this guy on camera too. He has parallel tines off the main beam so it was hard to count the points on camera. He has really good mass and average height. A few points are broken off, but he has 21 points in total. Hope to see this old boy next season.

My son, my father, and myself went out last weekend and found 9 whitetail sheds in total and these were the best. The big 4 point match set has 27+ inch main beams.

Phil, you've got some good eyes to be seeing the bits of tine sticking up through the grass!

That last mulie had some crazy genes 5X2. If he was broad side some guys would likely take him out only to find some serious ground shrinkage. Thanks for posting the pics.

Great looking pics everyone. I am up here working in Calgary for a few weeks and wanted to try and get out to shed hunt. Just looking for some advice on getting started up here. Any help would be appreciated. Just need to better understand the area and whether crown land would be worth hunting on etc. Pm me if u got any advice.

This is only half of what we have, these are the ones in Saskatchewan...my Kerry is a lifetime collector of antlers, and we work as a team when searching.

Sweet! Both pictures show awesome potential. The first has huge mass to it and the second (matching set) have a nice spread and height.

You don't have to go hunting this year. Just hang that nice european mount you found and claim it was you!

Default Shedding with the dogs

I put on a ton of miles on the last 3 weekends and managed to come up with 15 wt sheds a couple of elk winter kills and an empty radio colar from a wolf. Still way to much snow in the moose meadows maybe early June I'll see if I can find a few.

Meg with a matched set of older sheds


Meg and Jake with an elk winter kill


A couple of ivories for the collection



A bear den



A closer look at the den, didn't check to see if anyone was home
