Default Too early for shed hunting?

Hey guys, we just got one heck of a thaw and everything is snowless now, just wondering if anyone has seen much dropping up north? Looks like we have a few days before more snow arrives, should be some good hiking. Lemme know what ya'll think!

We've had a few drop here already In Mn. A little early for the most part but heck It don't hurt to look, good scouting tool anyway for next year.

A little early still but I'm going today anyway [8D][:-]. Actually I'm going to go poke around for the heck of it. See if my ground blinds are still on planet Earth with these winds we've had.

Pretty much what I plan on doing, I think every tree in the woods might be tipped over today.[8D]

Pretty early here, but when I'm out my eyes are on the ground just in case I'd happen to stumble over one.

I'd sayyes, too earlyhere....but yesterday my buddy killed a big "doe" on our property that had shed both horns already and by the looks of it it must have been a couple weeks ago.
