Thanx Gordie! Easy enoungh-

Now say a person had a REALLY nice buck coming into a 3 acre bean plot on a regular basis, but only had a ten acre parcel in which to pick up his sheds... What could a guy do to up his chances on picking up one or both sides?

Ask the neighbors if you can shed hunt their land

FYI for you shed hunters. Saw a mature buck that I have trail cam photos of last night. He is at least 4.5. Southeast metro, both antlers firmly atop his head.

Unfortunatly the home range of this buck seems to be right in the middle of about a dozen different ten acre parcels.. So ALOT of doorknocking is in my future.

At least I'm the only game in town when it comes to the food department , Maybe that will reward me with at least one side.. I hope

Spent the better part of the day on sunday cruising the land. The neighbor has a 5 acre corn food plot he leaves up for the deer. My guess is somewhere between 40 - 50 deer in area. Very easy walking on the cow path deer trails. Didn't find any antlers, but i figured it was probably a touch early. Afterwards I gave him a call and he said he hasn't seen any that have shed yet on his camera's.

got excited from seeing a few lucky hunters on this forum and decided to take my 10 month setter out for her first shedding whirl yest. and i did see 4 nice antlers...they were still attached to 2 big bucks with a small white and brown dog not far behing their trail...good luck everyone

Should a guy steer clear of bedding areas in their search right now ? Jumping deer in these conserving energy by the deer kind of days ? I realize the deer are in good shape I think in most areas and snow depth is a big factor with temps, but that snow we have isn't deep but it's hard as a rock since that rain and some melt. Should a guy wait to sweep through the bedding areas when things moderate some ? Also those using dogs to search, we know how deer love dogs, should they be left at home if you're going to scour near their bedding sights ?

We found the first for 2013 last weekend.

Got a new hotspot and the guy said he had a shed buck in his yard a few days ago in East Central MN. Those deer are traveling at least a mile to get to his "turkey" feeder(s). So I have at least 7/8 of a mile to scour and that should be a good enough jaunt until the weather moderates, good luck guys and hope to add some shed pics soon.
