@sheddersfull: I know Noah from working with him previously and he is not on unemployment. And he's not on welfare or food stamps either in case you wanted to inquire about more of his personal life that is none of your business. But thanks for trying to ruin the mood and for being a jealous jerk. Don't you have a puppy to go kick somewhere? Either make positive comments or keep your mouth shut.

Amazing set of antlers for a well deserving individual. I'm glad I was able to see this story! Always wondered who the lucky guy would be to pick them up. I'm glad he decided to share them with us!! @shedderfull, really? Come on bud. How old are you?

This is an awesome find that goes to a dedicated hunter thank you for sharing this find with all of us. I think I would sell them and get a replica made the fun in finding them is not preserved in the rack its in the memory in my opinion.

Sheddersfull- really is it your job to try and put a blemish on this story?

Unbelievable! I remember the stroy about the deer from a previous article. If I recall it said the deer spent a lot of time inside city limits which is off limits to hunting. I just hope this once in a lifetime trophy doesn't fall victim to a poacher. maybe a lot of press can actually "save" the deer from poaching because he will be so well known.

Congrats Noah, a find of a lifetime for sure. Sounds like you deserved to find them with all the time you put in getting the job done....and above all thanks for sharing the photos and story with all of us!!!

Congratulations on a great find!

And if my eyes aren't deceiving me, I think the right antler just grew by 2". In reviewing the scoring sheet in photo 21, I believe there is an error. The total inches in Col 1 (right antler) is 78 6/8; however, when this number is transferred to the left side of the sheet and entered on Line A, it's only 76 6/8.

Those things are absolutely terrifying!!! So awesome.!!!

this is a huge buck and congrats to the proud owner!

my gripe is with field and stream... man you people should research before making a claim of worlds largest mule deer sheds of all time. this deers sheds score 294, Ryan Hatch of MULEY CRAZY has a set sccoring 309... jus saying do your homework people!

Unfrickin' Believable, Great find Noah your truly an outdoorsman, and a great insperation to future shed hunters. I've been shed hunting for 50 years and it's not only great excercise but you find ALOT more than sheds. Things like Indian arrowheads and odd tools or lost GPS systems,or even interesting rocks for your wifes garden comes into play,so get out and go shed hunting in the spring guys,you'll not believe the stuff you can find,and your heart will thank you too!

luckiest man in the world, second only to the guy who shoots that

Dang, it reminds me of a Caribou rack.

Lets just hope that a hunter can harvest Goliath instead of it coming to an end with a minivan on the road.

Noah, Dean had told me about this and I am just getting around to looking at it. What an awesome find. I am excited for you and I look forward to talking with you about it the next time your back around home. Take care and enjoy the moment. Not many can say they have seen something like this in person let alone find and behold them. Mark

congratulations!!! if you are reading this, know that money wont buy you happines, these things will. dont sell them. keep them and get burried with them.

Wow. I bet those sure look nice on your wall.

Nice Job! My inlaws live in colorado springs. In town they have huge bucks. I have seen alot of 200 scoring bucks in town.It really awsome to go to garden of the gods and see huge bucks there. Congrats

Hey, It's April! Where's he at?

I might just have to take a trip to Colorado Springs this fall just to see it!

heard that they sold for way less than I could have got for them. Thats a shame.I could have shown him how to maximize his return......I made ten times as much on mine and got to keep the real ones. hope I heard wrong. I have extensive experience in these things as I own several world class sheds and sets.
To see them just call me for a time to visit..

Please take my advice as I am a collector and a replicator of antlers.. WHOEVER MOLDS THESE DO NOT DRILL INTO THE ANTLER IN ANYWAY!! YOU WILL HURT THE VALUE!!!!!!! THKS MIKE 785 263 5217

replicate and sell is my vote. Don't think for a second that I would want anything that a potential thief would see such value in stored in my home. If I have to use my second amendment rights in defense of my home, I wouldn't want it to be over a set of antlers.

Great find......I am a well known replicator..
I'm local......I have replicated over 950 deer,elk
including world records...You can make a trip to Pueblo to see my studio and workmanship. I,m doing the world record Whitetail sheds next..335" for making bronzes.I make natural antlers too..I have many references...Call 719-778-6089 for details.
The first thing to do is replicate....then weigh your options....
Put my molding and casting experience of 45 years to work for you......719-778-6089...no $$ layout

I know I'll be accussed of jealousy by posting this question. And, admittedly I am very jealous! But, this guy said he had lots of time, because he was a wildland firefighter furloughed during the off season, right? Most wildland firefighters in my area go on unemployment benefits during the off season when they are perfectly capable of finding another job, because unemployment pays better. I'm just curious to know if the public tax dollars were funding this guy's down time shed hunting through unemployment benefits?! If so wouldn't the responsible thing be to give some of the $ he gets from these back to tax payers who funded his hobby?! If he is among the minority that doesn't go on unemployment, hats off to him for being responsible and lucky enough to find such sweet sheds.
