Steve90 Report post Posted March 15 My first Coues sheds that I found early this year. Small and older, but love the potential of this buck with that cheater off his right brow tine. Happened to be sideXside too 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted March 16 Never came across a matching set of any species so that's pretty cool. I was so stoked when I found my first shed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sure is a great feeling. I hope you get a match someday. I have been fortunate enough to find a set for 3 species so far, these Coues, Muley and pronghorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted March 16 Very cool find. I've only ever found one marched set. Mule deer 4x4 just NW of Roosevelt about 35 years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Free Man Report post Posted March 16 Pronghorn, that's very interesting... I thought they had horns and didn't shed? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pronghorn is the only horned species I know of that does shed. They shed every year like deer, elk and so on. The horn sheaths are hard to find because they are thin and the weather and critters get to them generally before they are found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couzer Report post Posted March 16 1 hour ago, AZ Free Man said: That's crazy, I had know no idea. Seems like they shed between November and December. I was out a few weeks back checking growth and found one with a short fat rack, hoping he gets some length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found the second one about 100 or so yards away (elk). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
