Default Fresh NEO Elk Antler!











quickly,

sorry about the poor picture quality, the big set is not shown justice in these pictures, the mass/webbing is truley amazing as the people I have shown have never seen anything like it for this area. I figure him to go about 325-330 gross, probaly wont net good, Each antler weighs about 12 lbs.

Off to bed!!

That is absolutely awesome! I have gotten into shed hunting and really enjoy seeing other guys find quality sheds. It sure gives you that excitement for the hunting season!

Nice sheds I want to go up tomorrow but I might not make it. That set has some mass. I think I need to head to the hills tomorrow.

just got back from work,

The pictures flat out dont do the bull justice, SH36 he goes well over 300 gross, that single shed in the last picture would be like a 305-315 bull depending on the other side as he would have a real good inside spread. Using that for reference the set dwarfs that single antler in about everyway. I will try and get some better pics of the mass later......I am gonna try and find some more tomorrow and a few I have scouted that need picked up

How is the snow level looking. I was just wondering if you have to use a 4 wheeler to get in or can you drive on some of the roads ?

That is a really good estimate. From my opinon and this is just one. I would say if it got scored today i would say 300-320 Based on the spead. Most definatly a nice oregon bull. Nice job on the find.

Sheds grossed 311 with a 39 inch spread, I was off to, I got a lesson on scoring elk antlers so I will be able to put some numbers with antlers now....
