RE: Shed Hunting in western wisconsin
Hey Guys,
I went looking on public land near Eau Claire last weekend after the Deer Expo. Lots of sign, no sheds. Seen two bucks with their antlers on yet. Lots of food available and not enough snow. The Deer have it easy down there and are not stressed enough to lose them yet. I did go out in Price and Lincoln county the last two days. Lots of snow, not as many food sources. Found a spike and a really nice 3pt. Both days I found one within the first five minutes of looking and then nothing. Going out again today

Found another. 4 points. It was under some red pines in the middle of a couple deer beds. Snow is deep, up to my knees deep. I'll try and upload some pics as soon as I find the camera cord. Good Luck

You know, I am glad that I joined this forum. Awesome PY Bucks and Good luck rage2blade. I think that I get more excited about Shed Hunting than I do actually hunting. I say this because when I go shed hunting, my heart is pounding and I am excited the entire time I am out there. Don't get me wrong, when any deer is walking around by my stand I am pumped. Its just that when I don't see any deer I have to keep calm and breathe slowly, move slowly so I don't spook them if I don't see them. You don't have to worry about all that when looking for sheds. My heart pounds, i'm excited just knowing that at any moment I might walk up on another trophy. I can spot and stalk it or I can just all out run to it and its not going to spook and run away and I'm not going to miss it. I love it!!!!!

Went out this past weekend...no luck...ton of sign...and saw 7 deer...saw a group of six and pretty sure there had to be a couple antlerless bucks among them as the deer looked relatively big. Some pics...
Couple deer of the group of six...was around 30 yards from them...
Found the most sign of deer around the hedgeapple trees...with all of the snow we have had this looks to be one of their available food sources...
