Do we have one yet? Or a trail cam pic thread?
I haven't found any sheds but have some pics last couple weeks with racks proudly worn....
I was just wondering where the thread is also?I only have one to Share I believe with the mild winter here also that most are still carrying them
Not shedding yet in Southern OK that I can tell. Bucks still have racks in all trail camera pics.
I had a unique shed find this year. Right side shed and about 10 yards away the dead and eaten buck with the other side still attached. Popped right off with just a little pressure. Looked to me like he got attacked by coyotes and toward the end of the fight stumbled and knocked the one off, then got taken down for the count. Quite a lot of blood about 20 yards away where I think the bulk of the attack took place.
Saw a buck this evening while out snowmobiling. Just a little guy, but he still had both antlers. I guess they don't weight enough to fall off. It's been a weird year. I've talked to several guys who saw bucks without antlers as early as early December. I'm not sure what's up with that. I never find sheds anyways so I guess it doesn't matter LOL
I seen close to a 130 tending a group of 9 does last Fri evening. Checked every one then went about his business.

Not a shed, but a very old skull that was mostly buried in some long grasses. He must have been a stud when he was living.
Hey buddy......my friend saw two bucks last week with antlers around here...
My kids and I found a nice one a couple days ago. I was amazed at how excited my 16 year old daughter got trying to find the match to it!

Haven't found any here yet, but haven't looked too much. I have pics of one little buck that dropped both sides already. I'm almost positive he was a spike that was hanging around close to the camera. All the other bucks that I had pics of still had both sides. I'll be out looking here soon though. This warm weather seems to make them hold tight longer than usual.
Have a buddy that found a matching set a week ago but I saw a nice 8 point a couple days ago with full headgear
Found a half of a 6 point rack on my lawn last weekend while cleaning up dead sticks.
I found this little guy while out doing some Habitat work two weeks ago.

Nice young 5 point :archer:
In four day I've seen 12 buck and a few of those P&Y none missing a side yet, here in NY we are getting a mild winter so far (knock on wood) so many be that is leading to them holding longer? Never personally found one but been out chasing rabbits and squirrels hoping to find one and keep stubbing over fully intacted bucks
Get the threads started Kenny, it's that time buddy. :bigsmyl:
I won't start shed hunting for a couple more weeks but I know there's some on the ground already. My first buck to shed did December 17th there's always a few around then but most will be this and next month. Pulled all my cams after the season like usual and won't put them back out till 1st of June.
Getting all the mineral licks full and running and ready for the summer and shed hunting is next. Looking forward to it, had some really good ones makes it through.
Tracy
I put all mine back out to see what made it past the numerous gun seasons, you know I can't wait til summer!! LOL
Nice finds so far guys!! :thumbsup:
I'll just redo the title to be the shed thread. No old barn pics please.... :laughing:
Just looked for 2 hours. No luck yet
Still seeing some bucks with racks last week but it's time to start. First time out on two new farms doing some scouting and horn hunting.

Didn't count how many big rubs I seen and just as many huge scrapes to go with them. Loaded with turkeys to, me like!!!
Tracy
Dang Tracy, is that this years? Hungry squirrels if so!!
I had pics Sunday of a 9 point with both sides still on.
The second farm is a keeper and shows good promise.

Been doing lots of walking no luck but managed to find one side of a 9 pt early I been hunting for a few years...the boys were excited!
Nice finds guys. Looks like two promising farms Tracy. Good luck.
My son and I are heading up to NW Wisconsin this weekend for a little shed hunting. Going back to where he shot his doe last fall for a little shed hunting and meat eating over a campfire! Even if we don't find sheds I'm hoping for a great father/son weekend with some meat & heat!
-Jeremy
P.S. If we find any sheds I'll be sure to post some pics.
Grabbed my first of the year. A year old busted up smaller 5 point side. Ironically I found it while I was behind my house trying to find my dog who is trained to shed hunt.
they are starting to drop

Found these this week...
Boy, Ill say :eek:
Nice finds there :thumbsup:
I picked up 2 this morning, one of which happens to be from a 5.5 year old buck we've been after. I've got the fever now. I'm taking the wife looking on our main place we hunt tomorrow.

Anybody else finding any? Several bucks still carrying in my area.
I saw a buck cross the road in front of me last night... still sporting both sides!
Still supporting head gear here in southern Iowa,,,seen 4 bucks together here on the farm and all had decent racks on them. :confused: :confused:
Found this one about a month ago, unfortunately he shed more than his antlers

Doug,back in Dec. I found a buck just like that with an arrow in it's neck.
Tough Shedding this year...
Walked three hours Friday afternoon without a shed and another 3 on Saturday with a little better results.....
Started off with this broken tine....

I thought to myself, what are the chances that ill find the antler that this belongs to :readit:
Sure enough, although he had rubbed it since the break there was no doubt it was the match!!!!

Sad to see them go this way, looked to be a nice up and comer......
Next was this Giant Slick Head, she must have weighed 500lbs :goldtooth:

Then we found this match set under some brush from last year

I seen the first one and mentioned to David that Id seen one, he charged over there and there lay the match to it about 3 steps away.
Lastly was the lone fresh shed of the weekend.

I think this is the fewest sheds iv ever found off this property, the mild winter has these deer using different properties I guess.....

Looks like they are dropping, I saw a decent buck Saturday nite with both sides still on tho.
This is a really good for a whitetail in my town.

Nice find Matty!!
Nice set Matty, love the chocolate color and mass!!!
Good looking sheds Matty. My dad found a good one last weekend. We've never seen the deer it belongs to before. It looks more like a mule deer than whitetail. I wish I could do pics at this time.

Solid looking buck there Matty :saywhat:
I found the other side to a decent buck I had my eye on. Unfortunately the squirrels got to some of it.

Anyone finding any?
This happened to me recently. I could complain but when I'm all prepared to pack out several antlers the antlers are harder to find.

I've been soaking up the mountains the best I know how and that's by watching and tracking down giant Roosevelt bull elk for the past week. I love being out there at this time of year, for the last several evenings I've been watching several bulls every morning and evening. Paying close attention as to where they are and have been. The last two bulls whereing head gear finally dropped and I'm going up the mountain to see if I can find their antlers tomorrow. It's so much fun, it's like the ultimate easter egg hunt. And great exercise too.
Here's a few that are coming home with me.

Plenty of potential options there, nice finds!!!
Set of gorgeous Rosy sheds that were a joyful pain to pack back to the truck. Quite the adventure involved getting to and scouring for hours to find these booner sheds.

Awesome sheds sightsee. You make me want to go to Oregon to hunt.
