Had a good day shed hunting!
 
Went shed hunting today and me and a friend found 6 total....I found 5! :D Two sheds were from 1.5 yr old bucks and they were probably 2-3 years old and chewed up. Found a right side to a nice 8 pt with a little kicker coming off the front of the base. Found another side to an 8 pt 2.5 yr old. And found another side to an 8pt that was dropped last year and chewed a little. I'm at 7 on the season and one 130" skull.....my friend is at 18 now.....I gotta catch up. Check back in about a week and I'll probably have pics up of all the sheds I've found this year.

Awesome! I went out on Saturday for about 2 1/2 hours, found 4 antlers and one old rack. The antlers consisted of 3(4pts) and 1 (5pts). It was my 1st time out.

Well, I took a pic of the sheds I found so far this year but it's way too big to fit on here. It's file size is 1.2 Mb. Is there anyway to make it smaller? It's a JPEG.....is that why it is SOO large of a file size?

I have been tramping threw my woods and searching for sheds in which so far i am unsuccessful.. i want to go threw some thick brush where i believe bucks bed and I also have 15 Acres of thick CRP where bucks bed. I dont know if i should go threw this to find sheds when i will leave all that sent behind. I know its spring but I dont want to kick my bucks to other woods to bed at.

Is it worth searching or just leave it be?

I wouldnt worry about it to much...... get in there and search.
I bump them up out of their beds when I am searching in the late winter early spring looking for sheds........ I usually try to hit the bedding areas when I know there is a lesser chance due to weather and wind conditions that the deer will be bedded there ............ if your jump them they will come back...... there is a reason they prefer these bedding areas and they will come back for those reasons.... just try not to hit these areas to much. Good Luck.

id also hit major late winter feeding areas ...... great spots to look ... ya would be surprised how many mature bucks bed outside of thickets ..... make sure ya pay close attention to ridges, flats below ridges, etc .... great beddin areas for bucks ....along with the thickets
