My previous post I mentioned that I saw a 4 pointer still supporting his head gear, yesterday I found out from a guy down the mountain that he found a pair of 4pts at the base of his drive where a fence is, it appeared the deer had jump the fence and both sides fell off at impact, man these were huge, so yes they seem to be in the process of dropping them now.

That is a unique shed you found skeeter. Did you look for the match after you found it. I have yet to find a matched set.

I have never done this before, but am considering doing it this year. When should I start looking...since their already starting to drop in some states?

I think I'll give it a shot this year. A good reason to take my boys out in the woods and get a better feel for the land I have been hunting.

I looked long and hard for the matcher for crabbie but never found it Yes I have found quite a few matching sets over the years but still a lot of singles. Crabbie is still alive and I saw him (I think) saturday night while scouting, so I still have hope of finding one of his matched set

I just got about 30 photos from my two game cams developed today. The photos were from the past week and the bucks still had there horns. 6 buck pictures. I want to shed hunt but I think I'll wait unit late feb, early march! Thats when they were all off in central MN lst year!

Good Luck!

Any one come across any yet??????
I know its early still i just got the "itch"!!!

I need to get out there and start looking now. Skeeter, you need to start hunting your buddy Old Crabbie now. I would hate to think of someone else getting that monster if I had found that shed. Thats awsome.

here are my pics.

Here is a photo of some of my sheds and pickup skulls also. I mostly shed hunt here in Illinois but I also shed hunt my mothers property in Montana.

The earlyist I have found sheds here in Illinois is Jan 22nd, although a friend did harvest a large P&Y 8 pointer last week and when dragging him out by the antlers the antlers came off, he is pissed to say the least[]
