SHED HUNTING THREAD - PICs INCLUDED

[certified jumbo]

Congrats. Nice find. Love when the fall side by side!!

[Jcup]

Not sure... Some poacher probably killed it. Either that or it's sheds were never found, or it died in the middle of a swamp and never got found (highly unlikely!)

Got hit by a car. DNR has it now.

[TonkaBass]

nice set! jcup, where did you hear this? I would love to see it.

[Musky Buck]

I noticed looking into Iowa since there season is later somewhat that the DNR has a few paragraphs about how to tell if it's a shed buck or not, they say shoot at deer in a group etc. don't shoot the lone large deer etc. found it kinda interesting, good luck shed hunters, those racks will be a touch slippery, could be a perfect time to find early shedders as the rain should melt some of the snow down, as long as the snow stays away which it looks kinda like it will in much of the area I'm in anyway, MB

I have a question on sheds, I know the deer may bleed after sheding thier antlers from the connection point. So I was out yesterday fallowing a heavily traveled deer trail and spotted blood of to the side of it. Do you guys look more caefully if seeing something like this or is it probly something else? thanks!

[certified jumbo]

vexilarman, its always good to follow up on a small blood trail while shed hunting. however, if you shed hunt a lot in the winter you will find a fair amount of blood. deer bleed for lots of reasons, but i always follow a blood trail but seldom lead me to a antler.

hightower, very impressive!!! you've got a dandy crop of bucks for next year!!! you must have a lot deer in your search area. do you have a standing corn field in the area or a good food source?? keep up the good work!!

No major food source, wintering area, lowland.

A new find from yesterday.

[Musky Buck]

What happened to your snow HT ? I'm in east central MN also looking into my woods there isn't a square foot patch of ground. Nice finds !

[not_nuf_time]

Went shed hunting yesterday for first time, kinda fun learn some things about area. Probably to early but didn't have anything else to do at noon on nice warm friday. Might start yote hunting there though

[bassman588]

I have a nice buck coming in just about every nite and kocking over my phesant feeder so I wired some steel post to the bottom of it maybe in hopes to get those racks, but there not coming off. Trying to figure out how to put some pictures on this but im not very good with the computers. may on sunday

Picked up another shed! Very sad find on the buck... lots of history with that guy. Sheds, sightings and several t-cam pics.

[Bueford27]

Nice haul hightower. Boy the top 4 sets in the middle row look like they came off the same buck. You sure do have a good spot!

[matchset]

here are a few pics from this winter....nothing too crazy but a few good finds to get the blood pumping!

[TonkaBass]

Nice I like the last one. Broken one from a fight. What state you in?

[RangerJack]

Jumped four bucks today in the swamp, and all had both antlers attached still.
