RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Haven't gone out looking yet, it's still too early.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

found a set by accident

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

One of my friends found a small fresh shed during the last week of Dec. Another friend found 2 fresh sheds and 1 from last year a few weeks ago. Most my walking occurs from the 2nd week in Feb. until April.

We found most of our really fresh sheds (with blood on the bases) during the 3rd week of Feb. last year.

Seen two Beauty 10 pts last night still have them on their heads.

Saw a beautiful buck last night right before dark at the edge of the park last night and didn't have my camera, tonightI had my camera and saw
18 doe and one small buck, 4 on one side, other side missing. Down the road from there I've been seeing lots of baldies (herding up) with a few smaller bucks and one massive big boy. He has a typical 8, but they are
like coke cans. NASTY, NASTY I say. Saw him during the "2nd rut' stalking some doe in early December and now lately he has joined the others during feeding time. Time to have a chat with the farmer! I live in Northern Ill and now that deer season is over, I'll do a little coyote hunting, keep an eye on those bucks and start looking for sheds in a week or two. That may be a little early for prime time but I wanna make sure I get to those horns first.

F.Y.I.4 years agomy wife and I saw a big buck (180 class) with his rack fully attached in mid-April...no joke, we were in Lee co. doing some spring cleaning at our camp site a saw him running around the campground.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

we've found some already, they're starting to fall off, have been for a couple a weeks believe it or not

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

I have been seeing quite a few rackers lately in the cut corn, we did see a couple the other night that looked like they had dropped but they weren't close enough to confirm

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

When do they start shedding in Kansas? I am new to all this!!

j/k:D:D

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

My brother went out last sunday for about an hour or so and came back with a matched set off a monster.. should score around 170 to 180.I will get some pictures and post them on here for all to see.. They are very nice.....:D

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

oh kewl. we've only found a few...you know, for the new season starting, but i would be really interested in seeing them sheds ya'll found.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

my dad called me today and said he found a matching set of sheds from an 8 pointer i have on my trail camera..he said the g-2's are 14 inches and the g-3 are 12 and when he holds em up to his 140 inch 8-pointer on the wall they look heavier too!!

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

I have a couple of suggestions for the board.

1. When posting, tell people what part of the country you're from. Either put it in your signature or just mention it in your post.

2. Start a new forum for shed hunting. I get on here ever year to look for info on shed hunting and I have to shift through all the other deer hunting posts to find it.

Just my2 cents.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

A couple of tips for KansasDeerHunter, if you have a trailcam put it up. You can tell from your pics if the bucks have started dropping their antlers.

Starting in mid-February, I'd get in the woods. And don't forget about the fields. If you can take a 4-wheeler, then use it cover more ground in the fields.

Look and then look some more. Don't be afraid to return to a spot that you've already been to.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

found a shed yesterday in a bean field and it had been there for a while. My brother in law found one at our place back in December. Starting to find a good amount now though. Most of our camera pics all the bucks are missing their antlers. Also while shed hunting yesterday I found my buck that I shot during first shotgun season with a muzzleloader. Made my day.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Found this one out elk hunting this year and its the only one ive found so far cause i havent managed to get out shed hunting yet.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

nothing here yet...i havnt even put up my shed collector yet

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

the set of the 8 pointer i said my dad found gross scored 160 6/8 when we estimated a 20 in spread. they look sooo huge!! we're thinking about putting them on a shoulder mount...what do you guys think of doing that with big sheds?

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Friend of mine has a set of sheds mounted. Typical 10 point... scored 195 ish with spread on the mount. I say mount'm if you want to. Myself I would save the sheds and hunt that buck! Then have the buck mounted.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Two small bucks that feed in my yard have both lost one side in the last day or so.
I'm in northwestern PA.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Do you have the plans to build one of these I have been trying to find some plans for a month now and no one seems to know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance Mike

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

I found 1 shed so far. Still a little early here in KY. It scored 58 3/8 and had 5 points.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Found one side of a very nice deer this sunday. the one side scored around 85 7/8 wish I could find the other side...

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

It's like finding the proverbial "needle in the haystack" around here. I have found a few over the years but they are hard to come by. If the ground isn't covered this weekend I will try to get out for a walk in the woods.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

I live in Southern Indiana, and my buddy has found 38 sheds already this year. He has found one complete set that scored 160-170.

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

Ditto, then hang the sheds on a string around the neck of the mount!

RE: SHED ANTLERS
 

I dont have plans for one.. Iv built one last week and i bought a shed bucket 2 years back that worked great so i came up with my own this year and i will see how it works here some pictures of it

RE: SHED ANTLERS
