IL shed update
 

Haven't found any sheds yet, but my friend got a buck during the last week of archery season that had shed both antlers. Both were bloody stumps, so they had just been shed.
Near work, there was a car accident that took out a buck. He already had shed one that was scabbed over, and the other was just lost.
Go get 'em before the rodents do.
Both places are in N/E IL

Had 12 deer pass in front of me this afternoon around 2. 6 bucks that still had antlers. A couple of real wall hangers. I haven't heard of anyone finding any sheds around here in Montgomery county.

RE: IL shed update
 

went out twice this weekend on two different properties and didnt find a thing; saw a small 6-8 pt that still had both sides of his rack. i thought for sure by mid february most if not all bucks would have shed, especially conssidering the 2 wks of very cold weather we had at the end of january.

Watched a 8 point this AM & a 10 & 8 2 days ago, still with everything in tact.. This pic is 10 feet from my DOOR next to my bird feeder & discarded Christmas Tree 2 days ago.

N.E. IL - Saw bunch of bucks today as usual. None missing anything. They got some real nice racks though and I'm keeping my eyes on them for when they do fall. Hope we get some ground cover snow, a couple of inches really help spot the drops.

Antlers have fallen in central Illinois for the most part. Between myself and two others we have found seven since Friday. A couple had already been chewed on a little.

Went out to one of my spots yesterday and looked for a couple hours to find nothing. I saw alot of tracks in the wheat fields and there were even a few rubs that didn't look very old. I didn't even find the only stand I had up on this property. Some prick stole it. Steps and all. I even had a 5/8 cable with a lock on it from Brinks so they must have wanted the stand pretty bad to take the time to destroy that thing. I guess I'll just have to use my climber there next season.
