2014 Shed Thread

[CoachBGriff]

Thanks.  It's like a grown-up Easter egg hunt.  Plus it's a form of scouting for the next year.

[CoachBGriff]

My eye has yet to be keen enough to find anything shorter than 6 inches though.

First shed of the year!

And it's a dandy

I hate you Midwestern guys

Very nice buck shed Brad!

Got out Friday, but never found anything. Got 2 feet of snow, and it's just melting back to where I can hike around.

Ron, that looks like what was on the first blacktail I shot with a bow...haha  We were both just youngens.

Did you know it was a buck Snag, those little studs almost resemble a yearling doe at a distance.     :confused:  [/b]

Ron, at 10yds I could tell. I'm not one to shoot first and think later.

One of these days the foot of snow that's in the woods will melt and I can look for some sheds too!    

[CoachBGriff]

Walking in the snow is great for exercise... not so much for finding sheds.

I was in the woods for 4 hours yesterday. I just HAD to get out of the house. It wore me out. After about 2 hours I realized maybe it was a mistake to go out, but I was about 2 miles from the truck

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.

here are my 2014 sheds so far

[trubltrubl]

I have shown these before....I have a set from 2010 that are so spectacular that I had them mounted on a cape...world class... 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...

WOW WHAT A DANDY!!

[CoachBGriff]

Very cool!

[Dan bree]

So sad a great buck like that has to be killed by a car /truck  . Not a good way to go !  Lets get rid of all cars !  What say you PETA  ?
