The fishing wasnt that great. Picking sheds up in Utah is totally legal it was way cool to watch them drop off his head like that. Quick and easy watch them drop then run over and grab them to bad that was probably a once in a lifetime deal

Depending on when you pick up the antlers, you need a permit. In this case, it was done legally. You can find the info on the DWR website or in the 2010 Big game guidebook. I copied this from it:

"From Feb. 1 to April 15, 2010, you must have an antler-gathering certificate on your person while collecting shed antlers or horns. You can obtain this certificate free of charge by visiting [url "http://wildlife.utah.gov"]wildlife.utah.gov[/url] and completing an online education course. You do not need an antler-gathering certificate at any other time of the year.

“Shed antlers” are antlers that a big game animal has dropped naturally as part of its annual life cycle. Shed antlers have a rounded base that’s commonly called an antler button or burr.

A “shed horn” is the sheath from the horn of a pronghorn that the animal has dropped naturally as part of its annual life cycle. Pronghorn are the only big game animals that shed their horns."

That's really wierd that a buck would shed sooo early. I'm usually still seeing bucks in March with Antlers. What part of the state were you in?
That is a once ina lifetime find for sure!

Just a note: You can pick up sheds year round in Utah as long as you have a permit. There are only a few areas that have restrictions and most are State owned and locked up until the second Saturday in April (WMAs). Anywhere else is fair game although it's recommended that you don't go into the winter range while the animals are still there. I usually wait until April.
But, heck! If a buck sheds right in front of your car of course you are going to pick the dang things up.
