More sheds

“Acorn points” are a common injury-based oddity seen each fall. This is a swelling in the middle or near the tip of a hardened antler tine. Acorn points are caused when the buck bumps the growing tip of the tine on something hard. The velvet on the tip is injured and, in the process of repairing itself, deposits more antler material at that location.

Interesting information on that link.

Roosa did you get any damage with ice storm in early dec.
I finally made it down to our lease a week ago and man it was bad. We have trees down everywhere and more limbs down than still up. Took about 5 hours for 9 guys with two tractors to clear the mile section to get to our lease. We have a ton of work ahead of us this year.

Yeah, pretty rough, huh? I've been cutting limbs every chance I get for weeks now. Bout to get a handle on the downed limbs but haven't even started on the miles and miles of fencelines. On the bright side, you'll have plenty of wood for camp this year!

Boy, you got that right. I am trying to get a gang to come down and cut the mile or so of roads with downed limbs. Sticky may come and some others for a nice cutting party.

Will there be whisky and dancing girls for pay?

Since this thread is about sheds, I need to take pics of the mule deer and elk sheds I found in New Mexico. Nothing big, just some sheds.

Elk sheds????? Where and when did you find them? South fence up by the mine tailings? Maybe I should show my set of elk sheds.

My daughter and I found six matching sets of antlers Friday evening, still attached to bucks grazing in cut milo along with about a dozen doe.
