Any shed hunters????

RE: Any shed hunters????
nyflyer, I have found most of my shed by starting on the food source and back trailing to bedding areas. Some lay out in the open while other drop off in the woods. If deer yard up in your area for the winter than this process may not be as broad, concentrate on large numbers and work back from there.
Love shed hunting, but still to early as I have seen loads of bucks still carring the dress on top. In another month or so things will start dropping and i'll be out searching.
Here's a pic of Crabbie's Shed ( I found last year):

Already found the set of a small 6 this year, my cousin shot a "doe" today that turned out to be a buck that had already dropped, my biggest shed is one antler with 5 points, it scored like in the mid 60's im thinkin, it came from chillicothe ohio

There was actually a doe taken south of here with a huge rack of 17 non typical points in full velvet. She was examined by a Texas Parks and Wildlife biologist and no male err plumbing was found and she had all the equipment of a doe, so not a hermaphrodite. A hormonal inbalance in the extreme was TPW's hypothosis. It was in the newspaper about a month ago. Very bizzare. Guy had seen it and was watching it all last season. She never shed, but continued to grow all summer. He notified TPW before he shot it and they were with him the whole time, so no BS.
