MONSTER 473" Sheds

[MuddyBull]

I scored this set of 9x8 sheds today. What a toad- 427 gross typ 7x7 with net typ of 409. 46" of length in just 3 n/t points. Would net n/t around 455. Details a little vague as to where it came from in Wyoming, look to have layed out a bit before found, faded but no cracks. Mass was impressive at 12 6/8" to 8 4/8". Each side weighed close to 24#s.

Gulp....

WOW! I have pictures of a bull like that...he might be behind a fence though.

 

[MuddyBull]

fowladdict1 I would surely be intrested to know if he was!

 

[Bambistew]

24lbs?!?! Holy smokes.

 

[Dinkshooter]

I would love to dream he wasn't HF, but I would bet a nickel he was.

 

[Goldtip]

Holy crow that's huge. If it's not a HF, well then, wow.

 

[TheTone]

My gut says high fence, does wyoming allow them? If not then I'd bet he came from one of the countless eastern idaho ones.

My gut says Bitterroot/Selway...

Wyoming has exactly 1 HF place and I know no sheds come off of that ranch. If this is a true wild Wyoming elk I would be surprised, this is a rough place for a bull to grow old and prosper...

Looks like a Utah bull to me!

 

[MuddyBull]

That seems to be where all the big ones were coming from recently. Though it seems to be slowing down...

 

[Randy49er]

Oofdah!!!!

 

[highmountian]

Man o Man! Crazy big.

 

[thecrittergitter]

Yikes, 24 lbs! I have one that i found a couple years ago that was 12, couldn't imagine it even be possible to double that...

Holy moly

 

[MuddyBull]

For comparison, the smallish looking set in the background scored 357 given a modest spread.

Sweet find, be nice to find those in my cross hairs next year, what a toad.

I suppose I miss spoke and should have said " I measured this set of sheds today". Not sure where the set came from but am sure if I found them on public land around here I would be burning up the hills trying to find the monster bull that shed them. Probably a ranch bull from somewhere, but it sure boogles the mind to handle a set of elk antlers like that.
Sorry for the confusion but I did not pick them up, wish I had!
