Anybody finding any sheds? I found this one a couple weeks ago. I wasn't necessarily looking for sheds. My wife and I were just out for a hike. Been out a few times since. The only antlers I seen were attached to a deer.

I don't look for them, but sometimes blunder in to them now and then. Got a nice set of them two springs ago on our own land down the ridge; found one side, and about twenty yards away lay the other side. I'll post a photo later.

I don't search for them but if I see one I'll pick it up. Here are a few I've found through the years.

I saw three bucks eight days ago that still had their antlers. A 6ptr near my house. Two 8ptrs ran across the road in front of me and my grandson while driving thru the Crab Orchard refuge in S. IL a few miles from home.

I found this shed a few days ago. Compare that to a buck’s antlers I killed 8-9 years ago. Looks like they are definitely related. Same tract of public land

That's an awesome buck bluesman. I've always wanted to get a drop tine buck, just because. I've never even seen one in the wild. Pretty cool. I'd love to find some sheds like that.

These are from a Buck I hunted hard the last 2 yrs of his life. Our acreage was part of his home core.
I missed him on a easy shot the 3rd day of the season while he was in full velvet. I thot he was a 180" class 6x6 at the time. Later I got trail cam pix of him and he was 180" class on his left but the right side was stunted 150". I had him in bow range three more times but passed hoping he would straighten out the next year.
He got killed in the November Shotgun/Muzzleloader season on a neighbors property. I watched him grow up from a yearling 4x4 to 6 1/2 yr old Beauty. He had a very distinguishable square throat patch.

WOW bluesman, what a buck!
I enjoy waking around looking for sheds. It's good exercise, a good chance to scout around and sometimes I even find a shed. I usually combine it with stump shooting and that's even better.
I'll be in a sling so no shooting but I'll be out walking around for sheds in the next couple weeks.

I found a set in Illinois a couple springs ago that we 1.25 miles apart when you draw the line on a map. Farthest I have ever found a set apart. They are the set at the top.

We are having a tough winter in ND. I had 130 deer in my yard late December. They started shedding early. The weather has mellowed out lately but we still have a long way to go....

Nice haul Beeman.
Very cool to find matched sets gun. I've only found 2 pairs and they were a quarter mile apart for one set and the other a couple hundred yards apart. Both sets from yearlings ... little 4 & 5 pointers.
My sons have found matching sets of older 8s and 10s a couple of times. One pair not more than 2 feet apart.
I used to hunt sheds with a passion years ago and have collected quite a few...easily a couple hundred with the help of my Labs Jake and Jed.
Bluesman, what an exceptional buck. That's the old guy you had msg'd me about no doubt. I feel ya on that bud. Good dog Odin! Handsome specimen with excellent taxidermy.

The rack of a buck I took long ago with my Shawnee flatbow in Shawnees National forest... appropriately eh. No cuts up on this one as I intended...too many memories on that hunt and this fine buck especially.

Yah bluesman, I've done a lot leg work collecting them....several counties I've hunted here in Illinois. Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois. I was gifted some Oregon Blacktail skull racks and a muledeer that I've cut up and used for accents on many leather projects.

Blues man - great story of a tremendous adventure with your buddy. Beautiful mount too.
I enjoyed searching for them with our labs. They usually found the sheds. Since no more labs, I rarely look for them. Looked yesterday for a short while but nothing. A couple days ago, a nice 8 point was chasing a doe in our yard.
A couple years ago I was doing a nuisance beaver trapping job and found this easy one.

Took a walk in my woods behind the house this afternoon, most years, the deer move out by New Years, this winter they hung around. Just walked my 4 wheeler roads and found these two sets. In both cases, one was on the road, the other was in the brush within 30 ft of the first one. Thanks John
