dag_1980 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Finally got another chance to get out and look for more antlers this past friday and also today. Last friday walked some standing corn and found a 5pt side buried deep in the snow. Today i walked three different places must have put on 3 miles or more. Finally on the last spot I spotted a deer leg sticking out of the snow went over to investigate and after about 10-15 minutes of diggin in the snow I spotted a nose and took a step back and I stepped right on its antler. It was a basket 8pt. Having best year to date even with the snow being knee to thigh high in most spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigginjim Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I was watching a deer hunting show, the guy had shot a really nice buck. While he was showing off the rack from different angles, both of the antlers came off at the same time. It would been a 160-170 class buck, how its just sheds.

mooneyes Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 went for a 4 mile walk in the snowshoes yesterday...no antlers but I sure slept good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag_1980 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Walked for 2 miles yesterday on some public in Iowa. Snow was shin to knee deep. Only found a dead doe and dead button buck..... Oh ya and a live possum in a corn field. We are suppose to get another 4-7 inches of snow not good for looking for antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkster Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My son and I walked for about 2 hours in the metro on Saturday, no luck. I know a big set is going to be out there some where (standing at a feeder late last month), now we have to find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungdeflator Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Went for 3 hours between classes today in a nice cedar swamp. lots of sign but no antlers. I think at this point any time spent in the woods is basically scouting for sheds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostFrontal Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I haven't been down to our property since hunting season, and am thinking about coming down there this weekend for a walk out in the fields and woods with the warmer weather. How deep is the snow in the Rochester area? Would I need showshoes, or could I get by without them?Has anyone had any luck finding racks in that area or are they buried?Thank you for your help!

jkcmj Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The areas I walked briefly near Roch were pretty miserable. I could walk right on top for 10 steps, then would cave in and be mid thigh. I only went an hour or so and bailed out with no luck. I recommend snow shoes if you plan to leave the trails at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
