  1. I went and put one of my cams up in elk country yesterday and saw 4 bulls and a bunch of cows. I didn't get a pic of the biggest one but he was a little bigger then the biggest of the three in the pics. The pics aren't great because they were far but it was nice to see some velvet. It looks like they are growing well so far and hopefully they will finish strong in July.

  2. We had a thread a while back about interesting rocks found while out hiking. I found this one the other day and thought it was nice enough and not too big to bring home and put on the shelf. I cant remember finding turquoise before.

  3. How were the teeth? Fairly fresh from a young deer or worn flat? From the photos, maybe younger deer?

    Skull looks decent sized, from the limited reference I can see. I would think young weird muley or old Coues. The eyeguards are more Coueslike...

    Too bad, he had some awesome character. A lot of the skulls I have found with the front of the nose crushed have been lion kills, buried up under trees or bushes. Did he say where he found it? That might help determine Coues or Muley.

    Cool pickup rack for sure.

    I will ask him where he found it when he returns on Thursday or Friday, he is off work sick for a couple of days.

    Nobody horn hunted when gas was $4 per gallon and brown was six bucks for clean brown. Now a brown six point elk antler will pay for your whole trip which results in way too many people in the woods looking for brown gold.

     

    What does a 6-point shed weigh on average?

     

    I don't know if there is an average but the 6 point I just found weighs about 6.5 lbs.
