Title: Shed Hunting!!
Post by: docmerrow on January 18, 2012, 05:46:00 PM
Any one out there shed hunting yet? I picked up a little 2 point side the other day or I guess you could say my GSP did. I have heard that here in PA the bucks are dropping their horns fast.

I've only found one dink, but a buddy has found 3 left sides from 150 plus inch whitetails here in North Idaho.

In southern Ontario, my son found a huge 10 pt set, fallen side by side in a briar bush just before Christmas.

Most still have there horns here. If we get a couple weeks of rough weather they will start to drop.

SHEDS??? We don't have any bucks up here.  No does, either!  Not really.  At least it appears that way after the last 3 years of seeing very few deer LOL!

My biggest set (170 class) was found on super bowl weekend several years ago.  Went on a walk at half time. Would have been in mid Jan. Oh, I shot that buck the next year twenty yards from where I found the sheds.

That's cool RB.I've been keeping an eye out for them while stumping and bunny hunting but won't get serious about it 'til March most likely.

I found a set today.  Each side had 5 points.  I am trying to train a 5 month old lab, she didnt find them first, but was excited after I pointed them out to her.  The first 2 she finds, will be the lim bolts to my RER bow that I have on order.
