Looks like a great find. I love finding skulls. Post up the jawbone pics! Last skull I found was a doe and she was ancient.

I'll get a jawbone pic later tonight. I found a doe skull 50 yards from this one. It was a young doe though.
I wasnt really shed hunting either.. just got bored and had an extra cam so I went to put it out and lucked up.

Bone piles get me excited every time, never know if it's a 56 year old doe or a monster buck.... ever since the bone pile with the 170" skull back in 2010, I have always looked for a skull every time I see deer bones.

Yep, bone piles are always a good sign of a skull.. I usually find the bones first but I have just foumd random skulls too. I've actually found more skulls than I have sheds.. way more counting doe skulls. I'm hoping to beat this one pretty quick with sheds from some of my trail cam bucks but as to whether or not I actually find them is a complete guess.
This deer scored right at what I expected- between 125-130. 127 3/4 to be exact.. I can't imagine how exciting it was to find the 170" buck.

I can't imagine how exciting it was to find the 170" buck. when I found that buck it was before I knew we had big deer in the area. I was new to deer hunting and in fact had only been shed hunting, this was before I even went deer hunting. I had a successful shed season though and even found a couple of sheds in June in the same area I found the skull. It grossed in the 180s.

Now post up those jaw pics!
