WalleyeChamp Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Last year we had a great 1-Post Shed hunting forum. Just wondering if you guys want to keep them all in one place again? IT seemed to work well! I see a few have dropped already. I can't wait to get out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

certified jumbo Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I will be looking this wkd as some deer have definetely yarded up in our area. I would love to find an early shed. Can't wait till pics start rolling in. I will post as soon as I find some. Might be a couple of weeks yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalleyeChamp Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm wondering if they will drop a little earlier this year with the no doubt added stress to the deer. Winter hit a little earlier than other years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Buck Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Trailcams have really aided my search, I used to think they shed way earlier than they did, just figured I missed them, so some guys you might be in an area where March is primetime like I am, early thaws stink because the bucks have barely started shedding, bucks disperse, use your t-cam to the fullest. It is not out of the norm for us to see racks yet in very late March/early April not clear as to the why but areas vary a lot and I used to blame not finding any as bad luck, little did I know prior to Valentine's day was a waste of effort, the T-cam has been very valuable.

WalleyeChamp Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Good point Musky! I'm finding that all areas drop at completely different times. 20 miles from where I'm at I hear guys saying that full headgear is common well into March and I start in Jan. Trail cams will help a TON so you're not wasting time and not spooking everything from their area too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchset Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 they are already dropping boys! a out of state family christmas party has my weekend all tied up, but i plan to get the drop on some sheds here soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Saw a nice sized buck cross the road right in front of the truck Friday evening by Red lake. No horns on the buck. At first I thought it was a doe but the neck was too large to be a flat top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalleyeChamp Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Trails like those in your pics get me very,,,,very excited to get out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 No deer horns here yet, but my buddy has found 4 sheds and one nice 9 pt. skull. I did get out for some shed hunting though and got my first moose sheds. Although they dont look like it they are a match set. Saw him before I went to get his sheds... Just to the left of the brush you can see the tines sticking up if you look close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonkaBass Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah I found them this year. Wasnt a pen moose though The whitetails are really starting to drop them good now too locally. Went out today and saw a bunch of shed out bucks but no horns today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyehunter80 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Yeah it looks like there is still some blood on em der moose horns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedaddict Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Awesome job TonkaBass! By the looks of the terrain I'm guessing Northwestern MN for the paddles? I have not been out shed hunting yet, but got my first picture on the deer cam with one side missing(Polk Cty, WI) Have you seen a lot of bucks around the metro dropped yet? Once bow season ends in WI, I will be going full bore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I saw 8 shed bucks yesterday, one with one side, and 5 with both sides still. Just depends on the spot. Some are really dropping right now though. Thanks to mother nature they are getting buried more by the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certified jumbo Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 No doubt the deer are really dropping statewide. But no doubt they are being buried by snow statewide too. Haven't made it out yet. About the time the trails get good for walking it snows again. April could be a good shed month this year!!Cool moose sheds!!CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathansdad Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Found my first shed of the year two weeks ago. My trail cams are showing me that nearly all the bucks in the Somerset area have lost their racks. I've only gotten one picture in the last week of a buck that still has both sides.

Ely Lake Expert Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I saw a buck last week that was missing one side. Is it unusual to lose one side and not the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Normally they drop the other side within 40 yrds or so, but they can walk around with just one side for a couple weeks before the other side falls off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyehunter80 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 i have found matching sets within 5 feet of each other and as far as 100 yards from each other but never farther than that. I have found lots of one sided sheds on a 150 acre property where the other was never found, not sure where they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalleyeChamp Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 WOW. It sounds like you guys are seeing some good action already. It's too bad they keep getting covered up. We could use a good 2 weeks without snow so we can get out and find some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSP4EVER Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I found these two yesterday near Henderson. I would have liked to seen the other half of the rack still attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
