Bizarre Horn Boiling Incident

[superguide]

Superguide Jr. had a weird deal this A'M- he shot a 4x4 buck but the horns had mysteriously shrunk when he walked up to it-the only thing that we can figure is that someone or something must of boiled them till they shrunk-he is quite shook up and will be seeking counselling.

It's a common known disease that I'm sure we've all had once or twice.It's called "Ground shrinkage".If the problem persists consult your local physition or eye Doctor.

[fisherguy]

Yup, a common ailment that seems to for the most part fix itself with age and experience though it can happen to any hunter.

[Palssonater]

Its those darn scopes! I tell ya, they magnify headgear.

If I ever catch the little bugger that does that to me I will get even !! MAn I hate when he does that!! WHat gets me is how fast he is, It can only take me 5 minutes to get over and allready he has shrunk them on me, I personally believe its a alian that beams down, freezes the hunter shrinks the antlers then un freezes us just to see our expressions!!!!!!!!!

Don't feel too bad. My buddy, who's fairly new to hunting, had a doe grow nubs right before his very eyes after pulling the trigger on her/him ...LOL.
I think it was black magic or something.
He now has her/him in the freezer, but had to use his "him" tag for her. ..LOL

How much "shrinkage" was there Cory? Was it really cold out?

[superguide]

It was a quite long shot thru the open poplar-I think he saw one bucks horns but as they were moving through the bush he shot the wrong buck-ohh well still got mulies next weekend lol. He did get 8 points for team 16 lol.

oh ya tell me about it my dad a few years agop had that. he thought he was shooting a 160 pnd doe. ended up being liek 90 pnds. lol

[Bob LeBlanc]

Yep...and ya know another bizarre thing aboot it...

If ya hide them antlers somwhere's...over the years, they'll grow...and grOW...and GROW...until that deer is a 160 class again...at least in the stories that are told about it!!!

true story ------- last friday ( opening day ), a guy who has a camp close to us told everyone that he shot at a 6 pointer on friday evening just before dark.
he said that he was sure he hit it but it ran.
two of his buddies went the next morning and found it only 50 yards from his apple pile. He didn't think that they would find it.
it was a doe, talk about antler shrinkage

why is it, that the one "that gets away " is always a big one

LMBO ...Good one Lewis ...LOL
