Congrats on your finds. Thanks for posting them. You said 18" of snow. I assume your up near cache valley?

Great finds. Anytime you find something it is a great day. Good luck in the future, when all that snow melts.

VERY NICE!

Funny, I was out and about this weekend and spotted a small forkie that was still packing is antlers. Not sure if he just hasn't hit that magical drop point yet or had something else going on (stag or cactus buck). He didn't stick around long enough for me to get a good look at him. I just thought it was a bit odd that he was still packing.

Spikes and 2 points sometimes pack way longer than older bucks,at least here they do.

Yea NONYA, they do. The shedding, just like the growing of antlers and the harding/loss of velvet, is triggered and driven by testosterone levels and since the young ones don't have the strong testosterone "kicks" they tend to lag behind the big boys (I know you know this...just typing for the heck of it).

I wasn't sure if he was just late or had other issues since he was the ONLY one I saw sporting head gear out of the 100+ deer I saw Friday. Anyone else still seeing youngen's packing bone?


BTW: Killerbee, in case you read this: I saw a BEAUTIFUL full curl ram at the mouth of the John Day on Sunday. Man, I wish I had taken my camera on that trip! I actually saw over 30 head but he was far and away the most impressive!
