Nice Mule Deer Shed Antlers
June 1st, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
Last night I had Eric Stevens stop by my house to show me some of his great mule deer sheds he has found. He let me hang on to them today so I could score them up. The set below Eric found just two weeks ago on public land in Central Utah. The right main beam is broken off about four inches and the antlers score 180 gross. If the beam would have been intact they would be around a 185 class typical with an estimated 19 inch inside spread. Not bad!
I ended up taking a short video clip of Eric and this set of sheds with my digital camera.
About ten years ago Eric found his best set of sheds to date. These dandy antlers score 195 gross non-typical. The left side has two abnormal points that equal about 8 inches. The right side is a perfect typical with great mass and tine length. A great set of mule deer sheds.

I knew there was huge trophy bucks in Utah you just have to look in the right spot, u are very lucky to find those sheds. Are you going to mount them? And have you named them yet?

Luck!? It aint luck…it’s 100%, certified, bonified, unadulterated OBSESSION! He ant think straight. As his employer, it’s a major agitation. He wanders into work like he’s just hiked 25 miles (and he has), thinks horns, talks horns, calls his buddies on his cell phone all day long. People wander in and out all day long to look over his coveted pile of horns, which now occupies the entire third of his living room, and they all stand around and measure, compare and argue. Seriously, though, nobody walks as many miles as Zeke and thats why he finds the bog horns. Conservatively speaking, he’s probably already walked 400 miles this spring. He’s a pinhead, but he can find the horns! And, I can talk like that because he’s relation!

Makes a guy want to move back to Utah! I found a perfect set of sheds in a drainage while chukar hunting a couple of years ago. Find chukar, Find anters, we found 15 antlers one day.
