GRONG Report post Posted April 6, 2008 I'm tellin you folks, there must be some sort of magnetic pull to shed antlers when I'm wearing my orange shirts. First thing yesterday morning after I parked I threw up the binos and spotted a dang nice elk antler about 3/4 of a mile away right on top a ridge. For the life of me I don't know how it lasted there for the approx 2yrs it laid there w/o being seen. Good for me! Anyway, looked around for a bit for the match but couldn't find it. About an hour later and a half-mile away I glassed it up in the bottom of a small canyon. Seriously short beams in the 45-47" range I'd guess but still a 350" class bull. Much later yesterday afternoon I walked over into another canyon and checked some oak thickets for coues sheds. As I crept along I jumped a good buck. I didn't think I'd see him again so I kept on sheddin'. I worked my down the slope and kept hearing a pfffftt kinda sound like if someone was blowing a snot rocket (sorry that's just all I can think of). I watched closely and spotted a dang nice buck shaking his head snorting. He kept smacking his left nostril with his left hind leg and he looked very irritated with something in there. I watched him for probably 5 min and the whole time he kept snorting, hitting his nose and shaking his head. I was thinking that maybe those nasty bot-fly larva were in there. YUCK!!! Must be awful having a dang worm in your nasal area.......... Anywho, after he finally got a wondeful wiff of Sir GRONG and vacated the area I continued my search. I hadn't gone more than 150 yards when I came across this shed that is off that very buck!!! After takin pics and continuing my search about 15 minutes later I looked up the slope and that same buck was trotting along side me at about 45 yards. He must have wanted his antler back It was pretty neat getting to see him and then find a shed off of him. I continued my search, walking slow and watching all around me when I walked up on this HOG! It scores 46 2/8". One of the better sheds I've found in recent years. I found the same side off this buck 3 yrs ago so that's pretty cool. Sun was quickly going down so I reluctantly took off and about a 1/4 mile down I walked up on a small 3pt set. What a day...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
