RE: how many sheds have you found?
Yesterday I found my second, the match to the first I found
a week ago. I found them about a 1/4 mile apart. The first
was on the edge of a standing beanfield and the second
in a bedding area. He' s gonna be a nice buck next year,
giving him a 14-15" spread, he scores right at 140" .

RE: how many sheds have you found?
We have had alot of snow and I have only been out about 5-6 hours total but I have found 5 so far. I found a 8 pt set that will score 115-120 that I have the sheds from last year also. I had a friend call me that said he was out yesterday and saw 5 or 6 bucks that had both sides and one was a 140 class deer. Today it is pouring so some of our snow should go so maybe this week......

Been out a few times so far, seen trails and feeding areas. The snow is very deep and bush very thick so it makes for some tough tracking. no luck yet. From the tracks and trails I' ve seen, there' s plenty of activity and should make for an interesting spring.

RE: how many sheds have you found?
I know what you mean about the small ones being hard to see. Two years ago I found one shed that was just a 3" spike. The only way I noticed it was I parked right by it and looked down right when I was getting in my car to leave my hunt club.

RE: how many sheds have you found?
I have found 4 sets and 5 singles so far. The best set was a 5 x 5, that would go mid 150' s with an 18" spread. My best single is a 5 with split brows, kickers, mass and high tines- scored 86" . Still looking and hoping for the matcher[:@]! Many deer are still sporting head gear, late and slow.
