Well, it was a good day for shed hunting. The weather warmed up to around 40 today and alot of the snow we have melted. I decided after checking my game camera and seeing pics of bucks that shed their antlers that I better get out and look for them.

I started in a tall stand of pines on the top of a hill with a swamp at the bottom. The pines after full of a bunch of old dead falls that the deer love bedding in throughout the winter months. I start up the major deer trail from the swamp to the pines and I take about 5 steps and there is my first shed laying right in the middle of the trail on top of the snow. It wasn't big by any standards, 3-points, but it was a good sign. I headed up into the pines and deadfalls and found a decent shed tucked up against a fallen down pine. It was another 3-point side (should have been a good 4 point shed but it didn't have a brow tine). I searched around those pines for awhile and didn't find any more. I then headed down to a small feild that is planted in Bluce Spruce x-mas trees. I searched through there and found another shed (4 point side with the end of its main beam broken off) and I found a broken side (3 points but broke off above the brow tine). All in all it was a very good day, especially for only being out about an hour and a half. Tomorrow the temp is supposed to be in the mid 50's so I plan on getting real serious and hopefully I will have a repeat of today. Here are the sheds, nothing big but three of these bucks should be close to shooters next season.
