Earliest Shed

[NorthMaine]

Looks like a young bull ; Never knew they would start shedding so soon

I wouldn't say it's an old bull no but maybe a 6.5 or 7.5. I feel like the picture makes it look smaller than it is. It has nine points, forked brow and probably weighs like 15 lbs, it was surprisingly massive.

They are definitely starting to fall.
Found 2 sets yesterday morning.  Found one right in the middle of a gravel road and the other 3 all within a couple hundred yards.  Lots of tracks in the road like they were sparing and knocking them off each other.  Didn't see any of the typical shrubs or trees raked up.

Nice, Tommy! Sets are alot harder to come by! I have found plenty of singles but never a set yet! I know a guy that shed hunts alot and says to have found a set one time that the two side were almost 3/4 mile from each other!
