How rare is this???

I found these antlers last weekend. At first I thought that I had found the top of a skull with the antlers attached. Not rare, I know. However, after I looked closer I realized that these are shed antlers. The bases and brow tines are so big and such a mess that they grew together and came off the deer's head in one piece. Anyone ever heard of this? How rare is this?

I'd say you won't find them like that very often,Awesome find!!

That's wild. They don't drop sets any closer than that.

Never seen it myself.

Just got back from the Circle M antler auction in Iowa and they had a shed like that in a booth. I think he called it a shared base shed. He told me they have a category for this in the record books and his was number 4 in the world. Yours look bigger than the one he had, so it may go high in the record book. I don't know if there is a category or not, I am just relaying information. It may be worth looking into. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
Great find, Congratulations. I'm sure it's a pretty rare find.

Wow, very cool, and very rare! The North American Shed Hunting Club has a seperate category for these, they call them "matched solid plate" sheds. there are only 2 entries in the world, and the world record nets 128 7/8. This is according to the 4th edition of the record book (2008). Great find!
