Title: 2014 Shed Thread
Post by: Tree Killer on January 27, 2014, 05:20:00 PM
I looked around and couldn't find a thread already started, so thought I'd get it started. I'm sure all you guys in the midwest and back east are buried in snow, but you'll be scouring the woods before long.

I've gone out a couple times and found some from last year...

Great sheds Ron! Love it when there hanging in the trees like that unless the tree rats find them first. I will get out around the first of February and start looking missed last season because of my accident so there should be a few extras out there. Good luck!!!

It's illegal to hike around and pick up discarded bones?     :saywhat:

It's illegal to pick them up of state owned ground in SD. The law reads you can't remove any naturally occurring thing from the land. If they wanted to they could write you a two hundred dollar ticket for picking a blade of grass to chew on. Only thing our state ground is good for is out of state pheasant hunters and my money goes to pay for it. Not a good subject with me.

You need snowshoes around my place to walk in the woods.  Snow depth up to your crotch in most places.  April before you will see a shed on the ground.

I like to share the pic from time to time...they score 210 and I include my good friend holding them to give perspective...this monarch died a year or so later by way of being struck by a vehicle...I saw him before he was killed a year after these sheds and he had broken his right antler off about 8 inches from the base while in velvet,,,looked for those sheds but  no luck..he lived in and hung out in an area that was 9 square miles so tough to pattern...

The family and I were heading back home from KC at dusk the other night and we saw a couple herds of deer just north of the city...  bunches of bucks with antlers still on.... I mean alot of them!  I have never seen so many bucks in groups like that around here.  Anyway, with that many still sporting their headgear, I think that I will wait a couple more weeks....

With Coach Brad finding his, I might have to sneak out this week!

Congrats!

I found a shed the day after gun deer season ended when my daughter and I were rabbit hunting. A week later I killed a deer with my recurve that had what looked like tumers on his legs. The DNR said the deer probably got hit by a vehical and his wounds caused him to drop his antlers early. I never found a shed until then. It was a shame to find one under this circumstance.

Got out yesterday and managed to find a few keepers and some seedlings. Nothing big, but there's plenty of country to cover when the snow melts.

One of the seedlings...

Here is one that measures 2 1/2 inches. Better mass too... Of course it is a whitetail though, so that should disqualify it.  :)

Been awhile.  I have one group of pics of this buck from August.  Now I need to find his 4 point, left side.  Cameras can be misleading as this deer was hardly on my radar as far as size goes.  The ones I'm looking for appear much bigger in a picture.  Rough scored around 70".  Pretty good for a state most people can't find on a map.

Heres one that came off the last week of December. I saw this buck the day before with all his headgear then I found this the next day. Also saw an old buck with knarly short spikes. Then a couple days later he was spikeless. I would love to find those spikes, there was a guard point coming off the burr toward his right eye.

Great job.  I have looked a lot lately but no luck.  There is a saying in East Texas that the squirrels chew the antlers off the bucks head before he can drop them.  I'm beginning to believe it.

It's actually a buck another hunter shot late in 2011. They had 4 hunters and a dog looking for it. I couldn't beleive it was the same deer because the antlers were well preserved but it is the same one as verified by a trailcam.  My son decided to give his find to the hunter.

I went down on the farm today to do some stump shooting,and after I pulled my truck over and went around to the passenger side to get my bow and arrows out, lo and behold right beside my truck, is my first shed for the year.

Got out for a couple days of shed hunting last week and managed to find a few...

I had just told my buddy to keep his eyes peeled for some drive-by sheds and I looked out the window ... all I could do was was giggle like a little girl!

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/treekiller/shed%20pics/DSC_7705_zps4866ded1.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/treekiller/media/shed%20pics/DSC_7705_zps4866ded1.jpg.html)

This is a BIG gnarly shed off a buck I have lots of trailcam videos of while rubbing a post during the rut. His other side is a 3pt with double eyeguards that I hope to find when the snow melts.

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/treekiller/shed%20pics/DSC_7722_zps6c5a47f5.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/treekiller/media/shed%20pics/DSC_7722_zps6c5a47f5.jpg.html)

Another set I found together...

Found this big 4pt, and searched for hours trying to locate the mate...but it might be buried under the snow?

Ended up finding 11 brownies myself.

It never did get above freezing, but I found some pitch slabs for some epic campfires.

This is the first year in many that we have struck out. The normal deer holding area here is vacant this year. Not sure why yet.
Cedars are thick, there are a few coyotes but no more than usual. Deer have just vanished.

Last weekend I went looking for a couple big sheds to try and match up a couple found earlier, no luck finding them, but did find some others including a BIG 4pt from last year. It has a couple chews on the white side, but still has good color on the side that was down.

Nice work on the antlers sns!

Hiked around for four hours today and found 7 sheds. One 3pt seedling, a couple from last year, and two fresh sets. One nice 4pt set was laying one on top of the other...makes it easy to locate the match that way!   :)

Zbone. Younger he had more sticker tines down near the browtines, now he just has one on each side. He used to have double forked G-3, then he went two years with a straight G-3 on left side. Now he is back to double forked G-3s. He is heavier now with wider tines, but his beams and some tines are short this year compared to last, I did not show his last year shed. We could only find left side.  He hould go about 180 gross.

Well, have you guys back in the whitetail country been able to get out hiking yet?

Here's a few from my last couple of trips. Nice set laying near each other.

Found a nice four point @3 1/2 year old buck in Texas last Tuesday but can't post.  Also found a buzz worm later in the day.  Saw him first which was a good thing.

I'm not sure she'll be a hunter, but I guarantee she'll be an outdoors women, being raised in this house. Logan and I already have plans for some family shed hunts next spring.

Was out with my boy on Saturday for some sheds and found a matched set. He was pretty pumped, and that gets me more excited than the sheds themselves!

Great stuff!! How old is he? I have a 2 year old boy and took him fishing for the first time the other day and what a blast! Cant wait to take him out looking for sheds next year.

He turned 3 in April. He walked about 1 1/2 miles in the bush on his own without a complaint. I was so proud of him! He took a few spills but he's a tough kid. Time spent with kids sure is fun!! I've got another boy (Layne) that's a year and a half younger and I plan on taking him on my back for the next trip as I now realize that Jacob will be fine on his own!

Was camped out in eastern Oregon last week with my brother doing a little bear hunting and turkey hunting. Wasn't really looking for antlers, but managed to find three elk sheds and a buck shed.

So I got this picture in a text from my wife while at work. It's the shed off a buck I killed two years ago (compound) and I always new a guy a mile away from where we live had it. Well we just got possession of our new place across from this guy I speak of, and he tosses it in the stroller as my wife was going for a walk and says 'here's a house warming gift for you' Now that's my kind of neighbour!! (For those who are curious I figured him as an awesome 3 1/2 yr old here and he put on about 30" bringing him into the 205 gross range as a 4 1/2. A guy really has to wonder what he would have done in that magical 5th year.)

Went out today for a hike and got onto a few, 10 for the day, though only a few made the trip home!  Best day shed hunting ever and a matched set to start the day.  Too bad they are all fairly old and chalky, but I was still stoked!  

Dink of the day.

Non-typical matched set, SWEET!

I feel sorry for the deer that has to carry that set!

A few more from my last trip.  2 matched sets!

A clean 3x4.
(http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/nipponarcher/P1030407_zps9698b775.jpg)

Pretty sure this is the same deer as the other big set I found.
(http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/nipponarcher/P1030415_zps3e72ded2.jpg)

Both sets.
(http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/nipponarcher/P1030422_zps54cc8163.jpg)

Now to find some that are still on the deer!
