Start shed hunting right now. Me and some others have already seen plenty of bucks (smaller ones) with only one side on them. I don't like shed hunting when there's a small amount of snow on the ground......2 weeks ago me and a friend went out with light snow on the ground and didn't find a thing. 1 week later we hit the same spot (no snow on the ground this time) and found a 150 class 10 pt. antler from previous year. Basically, when there was snow on the ground, we both walked right past the antler!
