productive scouting hike today--nice shed and more
 
Took a hike along a property and found all kinds of good things:

A very nice drop tine shed. Good mass and tine length.

A place where deer get funneled to scale a steep bluff. It happens to also be an intersection with another well-used trail.

A lot of tracks.

Two big does.

And, to top it off, two turkeys. I'll be walking this property some more and just might have to buy a permit.

Awesome, Got a picture of the shed you found?

I might be able to come up with a pic or two. I'm debating whether it's from this year or last. The rodents did a little gnawing on it, but I would expect more if from two winters ago.

In your neck of the woods Fork, It is highly doubtful you would find much if any shed left from last years shed. Too many little critters around there that like the calcium and other goodies in them to last long. Even squirrels gnaw at them.

Wow a drop tine shed! It's fun hiking this time of year as the sheds stick out. My wife and daughter found a nice shed that i walked right over the other night. It was her 1st shed find. Yes post a pic Fatherforkhorn.
