Havent really looked much so far, I usually start when the neighbors black lab starts dragging them around. Gotta see how the beagle does as a shed huntin partner this year.

I saw a bucK a little over a week ago with two big scabs on his head. I am also still seeing several carrying there racks though.

I won't get serious looking for sheds until Mid Febuary though. I don't like to push them out of the bedding areas and have them relocate on me before they drop there antlers. By Mid Feb around here they have most all dropped.

Found 2 small 4 point sides. Haven't looked very far though, don't want to bother the deer when they are so stresed by the winter. I have trail cam pic's of one the big guys that has dropped his horns but I think they are under the snow. I'll post some pic's later.

Went out this afternoon and checked across the road, lots of steep stream crossings and brushy trails but found nothing.  The snow was plenty deep to hide all but the biggest of racks though.

Our mulies don't shed until March, and the elk get done early April.

I'd never see a shed with all this snow.

My brother was out antlerless rifle hunting in Nebraska today and saw a couple of bucks still fighting!

Hey rascal...got a couple of porcupines in back that are prob. as big as that black lab! Only thing is...they don't bark!   :laughing:

I've spoke to a few guys here in SE MO, they are starting to find a few, I'd say about two more weeks and it will be a different story!

Rholzie...I have plenty of sheds that have porcupines as a problem! Them darn critters gnaw up a nice antler faster than I can find em. Think you can fit a couple of them quill pigs with a bell and train them up as shed hunters? Might be a market for that!

I hunted our last day of the season, the 15th of Jan and saw 2 with both sides on. They were young, but show good promise for next season! On that hunt I was on the ground in my shaggy for the first time this season. I had those 2 bucks and some hen turkey almost in shooting range. I will be giving the tree seat and old shaggy some more use this year.
