Hey Mike, you always have some incredible pic's of Blacktails, how do you do it......are you just that stealthy? Awesome pic's guys, thanks, JIM>

 

Well truth be told...I take those pics on a Nature Preserve. A guy does have to be pretty stealthy and have a good camera with at least a 10x optical zoom.

Here is a few, I will post some more later:

This one wasn't so much of a freak as a 'this had to hurt'! I found it this past Sept during archery elk season. The antler was still mostly covered in velvet and was really light.

 

 

I have a couple of pics somewhere of a couple of elk in velvet that both have the same funky antler configuration. Must be genetic because both bulls in the pic had the same configuration. I'll see if I can find it...

[COOSEFAN]

Hey Ron, I bet that bull wasn't watchin' where he was runnin'! He probably looked down at that, thinking it was a little early to be loosin' his headgear and thought...........OH SH**!!!!!

 

Shortpants has a big shed from last year that is exactly the same as that.......it has an unreal amount of pedicle still attached......it's amazing it doesn't kill em', I bet it knocks em' out though! JIM>

 

Them are cool sheds, sagebrush and AZyoung!

 

Hey azsagebrush, do you live in Tusyan?

[COOSEFAN]

This is a shed I bought....thought I was going to use it for some artsy-fartsy stuff.....cool shed though. It is from a Saskatchewan WT and the base is bigger than the diameter of a soda can!

Here is another "bought" set of Montana WT sheds. The pics don't show the character well, but the beams have a wicked turn-down that is way cool and gives them a very unique shape. Regardless of character, I love the "picket-fence" style Easterns..........just hope one day I get to tag one for myself instead of buyin' em'! Thanks, JIM>

Very cool sheds Jim! What does that 'picket fence' set score? That mainbeam is very unique!

Thanks, I have never scored it, but I was told it was mid 170's when I bought it.

those are some cool sheds but man that SOB is UGLY!!! talk about a Freak of Nature! holy cow?! what happened to him?

 

 

(you know you left that WIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE open!)

[COOSEFAN]

Hey Casey........you know...I will be in Flag tomorrow..........you better watch your back.......there might be an "ugly SOB" lurking in the shadows with a big ol' can of whoopa$$ just waitin' for ya'!

[COOSEFAN]

Alright.......I will leave my ugly mug outta these next pic's. These aren't freaks but they are cool none the less. They are a few skulls I've got that I haven't posted on here yet...... had the camera out figured I'd share them. Thanks, JIM>

 

 

[Ron G.]

Here are two bulls that were hanging out together. Both have 'deformed' antlers, but I just realized that one is on the right side, and one on the left.

Here is a pic of a bull my uncle took 10 yrs ago.

 

 

Kinda a funky I think.
