SHED HUNTING THREAD - PICs INCLUDED


Recommended Posts

Was out for a long hike yesterday and managed a broke off antler, a small dead head, and a coyote skull. Seems like the size of my antlers I've found this year is smaller than usual.

is it possible that one was buried? mass looks about the same and the main beams look similar as well as G1's. The only thing that throws me off is the length of the G2 and G3 right side bone. They are larger than the left sides. Im goona guess its the same buck based on if you think one could have been buried, but who knows. Any neghbors have trail cams? you could ask around, but then you might give away whats alive and if you dont show the sheds they prob wont say anything. I found a 168 buck dead this winter and he had 10 inch of deduction because of G1 and G4 lengths differing as in your situation with g2/g3. either way nice finds! I had a great week two weeks ago, but this week was very slow and gobbler hunting next week i think that 7 dead bucks and 22 sheds is goona be it for me. no sets like your find today. all smaller

Surprised at how many dead bucks you guys are finding out there. Do you ever see signs of bone damage from missed shots? I found an 8 pt skull while stalking 2 years ago, the whole skeleton, the left eye socket ridge of bone was missing and had skull fractures along it. He had hunkered down in the middle of a very dense chunk of forest and died. full-33703-7976-screenshot2011_04_19at4.

The buck on the top, the chewed up one, was a buck from our land. He actually died last year and wasnt found till this year. We think it was a bad shot from a near by archer. The rest that i found were on private lands where i have permission only to shed hunt only and not to bow hunt. I would much rather find sheds than dead bucks! Kind of sad seeing them that way.

Hiked an hour after work yesterday and found this little 2pt. This is the 4th time I've hiked this spot this season; this time with zero snow. I've definitely walked by this shed before. It was a crappy rainy day for hiking, but this shed really stuck out.

A friend of a friend found this buck dead, injured by a bowhunter last fall, the other day. He claims its worth 25,000 and grossed in 220's. Northwestern Wisconsin. He has Trail cam vidios and pics of him which makes this a true find! I've seen the vidio!

Managed to look for sheds while out turkey hunting this past week.

Found this little 3pt along the edge of a swamp.

I was checking out a small high spot by my gun deer stand and found an old 5pt. I'm guessing this a 2 year old shed.

It's really starting to green up, so there probably isn't much time left around home here. I have a couple trips planned up north, but other than that the season is just about over for me.

Found a few deadheads last week.

First one was here in the metro.

The second one I found up north. I was actually looking for moose paddles and ran across this old 4pt. No luck on paddles, but I did find some old moose bones.
