It really varies in my area especially because of the snow. The earliest i have ever found a bone was boxing day while feeding the cows i picked up a real nice 5 set by the chop bunks. The problem i have is time for one beacause i am always away from home, but the snow kicks a guy in the junk. If the heavy snow hits after most have shedded then its pretty uneventful until May or so. It may not be that bad this year, there is a ton of snow at home right now however its been nice the past few days causing it to melt a bit. Once it gets bitter cold again the snow cover will be like a rock so any shed should stay ontop. the question is how much fresh snow wil we be getting in the Febuary/March stage.
