Bill,

To be honest with ya...there is almost no shed hunting pressure in my part of the county that I'm aware of. In fact, I only know one guy, who is a buddy of mine, who actually looks for sheds and he and I look in different locations. I'm pretty certain that I have the several farms that I look on to myself. There really aren't the hills in my area like there are in the southern portion of the county...most of my area is pretty flat farmland. It should be some good shed hunting around here in a couple of days when the rest of the snow goes. There were some dandies around before season...and the way the season went, I think most of them made it through. My ace in the hole spot that I really want to get permission to look on is a 1000 acre farm owned by my uncle's father-in-law. They haven't shot any little bucks here in years and there are around 2,500-3,000 acres in the immediate area that are actively managed for QDM for the past several years. My uncle's father-in-law has the best food sources in the area and they've seen a ton of bucks (and some really nice ones too) since season ended. I just know that there are some big antlers laying around there. I sure am pumped to get out and do some tromping around. Good luck if you get the chance to get out.
