Found an interesting find today well looking for some big bush bucks in the muskeg up north. Seen a tine sticking out of the moss and expected it to be a small one. Tried to pull it out of the moss and it wouldn't come. Turns out it has been there so long spruce roots were covering it in a couple spots. Must have been laying there for at least eight years.

No didn't look for tree rings. Just figured it was about the size of a eight year old tree. Crazy part is I found the other side a hundred yards away. Scores just over 153". Hard enough to find sets when they are fresh let alone when they have been out there that long.

Default That's it for this year

Got out for a final walk on the weekend and came up with a few, all old ones. Been a tough year for freshies, about 1/2 are old. Ended up at about 40 for the year.

You sure pick some thumpers!

I had a stange shedding year too, only picked a half dozen whitetails but about 40 mule deer sheds, normally it's the opposite. Only 3 or 4 old ones so lots of freshies.

What area are you in Boonie? Deer population still strong?

I didn't find much for freshies this year, but did find this. I've found a lot of weird things over the years but nothing like this.
