My co-worker found this buck dead a few weekends ago. The shed in the first picture was this bucks from the year prior to dying. He really blew up from a 3 1/2y.o. to a 4 y.o. He was knocking on the door of 160 the year I found his shed….the following year he scored 184″ with a whole bunch of missing antler due to rodent chews. Not too bad of shape for laying in the woods for two years
Wow what a bummer someone didn’t get to harvest him! Congrats on his find though!

That was one beautiful buck!
Sad, but great find! 
Gnarly. With growth like that, he could have been world class.
Very cool buck! Never an ideal situation but awesome to find! Hopefully he knocked up some does in the area and will show up in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Shednut, Do you see that split brow trait alot? I have a pic from 2010 of a main frame 10 with that same split as the shed. Same side, same shape. Only split brow I have seen around our area.

There are a few, but I definitely haven’t seen alot of split brows. I picked up one shed this spring with a split brow, and know of at least 2 other bucks with split brows….but one of those has more of what I’d call kickers from the beams compared to actual splits.
