RE: sheds anyone????
I posted in the Northeast regional forum, but I'll post here too, I got so lucky I can't contain myself!! This last sunday my 8 year old daughter and I went for a walk near the house trying to located sheds in areas that I've found them by accident before. It usually goes that when I'm looking for sheds I can never find them, but when I'm scouting or turkey hunting I find them by accident. Well that changed this last weekend!
We found 3 sheds from 3 different bucks within a fifty yard radius, and found them all within a 10 minute time period, talk about shocked. It appearred the deer have been hanging around this particular area becuase it has a good amount of acorns and beechnuts on the ground, the winter here has been tougher and colder than usual. Two of the sheds were 4 points each, and the other one was a 3 point. I'm looking forward to hunting these bad boys in the fall, it's good to know that two decent bucks made it through the season. We'll be going back again after this snow melts from the recent storm and try to locate the other sides. I'll be sure to bring my little girl with again, she's pretty good luck!!

The weather and amount of snow has made it tough to get around in certain areas. Couple that with some deer are still hanging onto them, still managed to find over a dozen, mostly dinks but have a 150 class matcher set and my best a nontypical that scores 94"..so I am pleased[8D]

RE: sheds anyone????
picked up 15 so far this year until the big snow fall hit. It will be end of april before the snow is gone so i can get out lookin again.....no huge sheds yet so far bigest set this year was around a 150 deer and lots of small 4 pointers and such. Hopefully when the snow leaves i can get out there and find a pile.
