yesterdays hike

[cmiddleton]

i did a long hike for antlers yesterday with limited success.
i found 20 old chalk white but i was to far in tho pack them out.
i found one set of brown deer and the rest are hard white

then i found what i hate seeing a winter killed buck

i left it there due to needing to get a warden out and i was 4 miles back in a walk in area. I'll show a warden this pic and see if i can get a tag to take the antlers without making him take the hike i can show him on a map where it is.
he was a real nice buck I'd have loved to sling a arrow at him.

Good finds. The chalk antlers drive me crazy because sometimes you'll find a bunch of them and think that you'll find more antlers the next year in the same spot but end up finding nothing. Are they desert deer? fatrooster.

its not a actual desert but i would call it a desert. some call it short grass prairie

Great pics, here is a few pics of a winter kill buck I found.

When I was out snowshoeing last winter I spot what I think is a easy shed find in the deep snow.

After digging with my hands for a bit I decide to take off a snowshoe and use it to dig in the snow.

As I am digging with the snowshoe I realize that this is more than a shed.

I was very impressed to pull a 6 X 8 out of the snow.
