| Comments: Back
in the early 1980s Tom Shurtz found a single elk shed in Eastern Oregon that was
magnificent in size. For years he tried to find or locate the other side.
Finally, after years of searching, he heard of someone who also had a big single shed from
that area. Contacting this person found to be the gold mine. After sharing
stories, Tom realized he just had found the other side. Neither one being willing to
sell their single side to the other, they both agreed to get a cast done of the set and so
the antlers could be scored. Each person now could keep their single side original
and also have both sides from the cast. These awesome
sheds have 65" main beams and 27" royal points scoring an impressive 442 gross
typical with a 55" inside spread. |
