In case anybody is wondering when the deer are losing their coatracks in the midwest...

I see whitetails every day at work.
Two weeks ago, I saw several that still had their antlers, but in the last two weeks I have seen three bucks without.

TIME TO LOOK FOR SOME SHEDS !!



Keep 'em all in the Bull.

Thanks for the info I don't have school tomorrow so i think i might go looking for the sheds of the big bucks i didn't get during season.

I went out with the spotting scope last night, and they all still had their antlers. Atleast the ones that had them last week anyway. There are 2 half racks, but the big ole boys still have their headgear.

I went out today on my lunch hour and found some great well-worn trails, but no antlers yet.

I went looking for sheds on friday and didn't find anything. I think its a bit early yet.

I went last week here in illinois and found a little 4 pt rack. I hope to find a big one or two.

Ive had some luck so far this year and I was also given permission to shed hunt a peice of property that is across the river from my favorite shed hunting property.I spent 2 hours on the new property but no sheds but I did find a skull from a non typical 8pt with the antlers still attached and no rodent chew marks, and saw the biggest coyote Ive ever seen, I believe it was part dog because of its size and the coloration was not that of a coyote. Went to my favorite place a couple of times and I found 4 sheds so far including one right side shed from a large nontypical buck the shed appears to be a few years old and its from the same buck I found dead last november( Ive got his skull at home buried up to his antler bases and have the antlers covered to protect them from animals chewing on them. The skull was pretty ripe when I found it so I had to bury it )So Far I have found 2 antlers in the field and the rest I have found in the woods on travel trails and 1 in a bedding area. Not done looking yet. Having a good time at it.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm gone at college so it was hard for me to see if the antlers have fallen. But I was home this weekend and on sunday found a pi$$ant little 4 pt antler. the base of it looked real rought, too. the bottom wasn't smooth and rounded like usual.

Lady Forge:
How long do you have to keep a skull buried to get it cleaned?
I've passed up skulls with meat in the past because I didn't want to pay a taxidermist and had no facilities to boil it. You may have given me a solution.
