@Robert welp.......π.......I was following my husband who was packing it out. I had stopped and was checking out some plants, and that is when I heard some......π€¦ββοΈπ SAWING!!!! I ran up to him and he was down on his knees sawing the antlers off the skull!! I absolutely was devastated!! I asked him what the heck he was doing! His response was that it would be easier to pack it out! π It still makes me sick to my stomach, to think about that. Growing up, I never lived in the country. As a kid, I was always grabbing my dog and slipping off into the woods. I never got to enjoy life as I dreams (hunting, fishing, wildlife,etc). Ya know, back then females hung out with the guy to be safe. We never went out alone (sucks, but that is what we were taught. And still to this day, I am uncomfortable being alone. I take my MT bear spray when I am). The point in saying all that, is that finding an elk dead head like that will probably never happen again. It meant something to me. Sure, I have the antlers, but no skull.πππ€¦ββοΈ

@Lisa wow what a jerk sure that would be easier to carry out but that was a true trophy and sad to say you're probably right you well probably never get another find like that that sucks

@Ronnie Thanks Ronnie. Yea, I felt like screaming...but I didn't want to scare off any wildlife. I did have tears though and he heard, quietly, how hurt his actions effected me.

@Leif Thanks Leif! It was drug up underneath some brush and some logs. My guess was it was a mountain lion kill. It truly only was showing a small amount of white, as we were hiking thru. He walked past it, and I just happened to look deeper. An exciting moment for me! I've learned a lot during those 8 1/2 years in MT. And one of them was, some lack empathy, consideration of others, and I'll stop my list there. ππ»

Itβs amazing how hid some of those sheds can be. Here in the Pacific Northwest thereβs so much stuff on the ground in the woods itβs hard to differentiate things. The last skull set I found I actually tripped over as I was walkingπ. If you can find the skull itβs actually really easy to reattach the antlers to make a mount.

I would have cried, that was a beautiful skull and would have looked good on the wall, but at least you still have the antlers to remind you of your magnificent find.

@Leif Yea, I know approximately where it is. I have thought about asking him. But he would have to ship it to me, as he is in Montana and I'm in Ohio. I've seen him attach antlers from a set he bought on Ebay, and attach it to a mount. But ya know Leif, I never have asked him to find it. I will now. We will see what he does. Good idea

@Brian Yes, and my hope before I pass away, is to have the photo printed and the antlers right beside it. π₯° Good idea, eh?

Lisa οΏ½

@James forgive me, what does the "ML" represent? I have guesses, but not positive. Hard to admit I don't know everything. Ha!π Everything is going better now. Went thru a month of quarantine etc with my Sons, but we are slowly coming out. Been doing some fishing and shooting my bow. Nothing real extravagant. I'll keep my eyes open on any posts you may share.π€π»π€π»

@James Ok, that (ML) is great! When I worked at Gander Mountain a man came and displayed his hand made ML. Unfortunately I wasn't able to spend much time talking to him, to learn some things. Work.π It may be awhile before anything exciting happens, but I shall...if it does.π
James M

There are some very nice hand made ones out there, mine however is a Remington 700 ML with a Leupold scope, a in-line, in PA the early ML season is doe only but itβs still meat in the freezer !

The scope is wow. I do know the optics on Leupold are great. I am pretty sure we had trail camera thru them.π€ How long does ML season last for deer?
James M

Only a week for the early season, about a month for the late season but thatβs flintlock only, Iβm not very good with a flintlockβ¦

@Lisa I havenβt used that particular model but I have used CVA, I have used the Wolf model and the Optima 2, both were good reliable guns, I moved to a Remington 700 ML in .54 cal , I prefer the Remington but canβt say anything bad about CVA

@Randy Thanks Randy! It did make me super happy to find. Normally he is ahead of me and find absolutely everything. So I was happy to see it after he had walked by the area kinda quickly. It took some digging out, but I was grinning from ear to ear.

@James Thanks James. I don't know Bo, but the good Lord gave me this passion to help others. So since I didn't even know what ML stood for, lol, I just figured I would ask you. Thanks neighbor ππππ»

@Bo I love shed hunting, but if I am in thick brush, it does make me nervous. The last two, "he" found out in the same area we shed hunt in. I just haven't been out there with him. So it is for sure a good area.π

@Stephen Two weeks will probably feel like an eternity, ha.
