Just last night I saw 5 bucks together. All had full racks. This afternoon I went out to take stands down and found two sides from two of those same bucks. Fresh blood on the bases.

I have been checking in my area northwest of chicago and only found a small fork antler possibly from last year seeing that it was already partially eaten and whiteish in color.

fulton,

Thanks for the info. We have not started looking at our new farm in Macoupin....Got any pictures? Good job!!

I'll get some up as soon as i can. Im hoping to find some more this afternoon.(Monday)

found my first shed of the year this weekend in Brown Co.

found my first while coon hunting, very fresh with blood covering the base and even a drop of blood in the snow! probably gonna start looking hard in a week or two!

johnny,

Was it from this year?? Lets see some pictures, folks!

Have you fellas found that this time of the year is right around schedule?? Late? Early?

Thanks!

Yes it was this year. there was still a small amount of blood at the base.

My girlfriend found this skull on her first ever shed hunt with me last weekend in northern Illinois. Took her 15 minutes.

A bit nibbled on as it was from last season, but I am having it restored for her, to do a european mount.
