RE: firts time shed hunter
Cool! It is always awesome to find your first shed antler. If that buck is only a mile away from your cabin, I wouldn't try to draw him any closer. Around a month or so before season I'd scout that spot out with binocs at early morning and dusk to find that bucks feeding pattern. If you figure that out, then set a stand or ground blind on a travel route and try to catch him on it. Keep your human scent to a minimum in the area as much as possible!
I'd also go back to the area you found the shed in and look for the other side. Good luck!
