SHED HUNTING THREAD - PICs INCLUDED

[TonkaBass]

I saw 2 140 class holding both side in the metro last Saturday. They were with a shed buck. This snow is burying everything right now though. If anyone finds one, post a pic. My guess is it will be one tine sticking up an inch.

dad and i went out to pull some stands today... spent a couple hours in the deep snow looking for sheds!

pops found this nice (young) 5pt side!

[buglefever]

Thanks to everyone for showing and telling. Sure am getting pumped to get out more...if only the dang snow would quit! Only thing I find good about the snow is that it makes some of my lazy competition quit early or slows them down!!

[JBone]

love the pics too!

I was hitting a spot today and came up with one nice 4 point side. I have been pretty lazy on getting out lately... This was my 1st walk since I found the nice one on the 3rd, but #7 is now in the bag so hopefully I will get back on track now! 6 left sides and only one right, so I know some areas that should have a half dozen antlers at least on the ground!

A friend of mine has got 6 so far this year, 2 on our hunt today. Thought I'd share some of his.

Smallest so far found today 4 inches

11.5 inch G2

Nice set found 30 yds apart

He found #6 today as we were leaving our shed hunting spot he saw it laying along the road in plain sight in a field road opening. Amazing nobody picked it up as it had to have been there all day I would think as it was getting dark when we left.

That cow will look cool on the hood of your truck!

Great finds everybody! Finding a shed in the snow was one of my goals this year but I dont think its going to happen

[Muskie456]

Snow melt up there already????

Finally got another chance to get out and look for more antlers this past friday and also today. Last friday walked some standing corn and found a 5pt side buried deep in the snow. Today i walked three different places must have put on 3 miles or more. Finally on the last spot I spotted a deer leg sticking out of the snow went over to investigate and after about 10-15 minutes of diggin in the snow I spotted a nose and took a step back and I stepped right on its antler. It was a basket 8pt. Having best year to date even with the snow being knee to thigh high in most spots.

Not to bad of a day for only walking for a couple hours after work. All found on public up to five this year

And what is this??? Looks cool must be a good one!!

Its a match laying on top of each other!!!

[lungdeflator]

[TonkaBass]

I was watching a deer hunting show, the guy had shot a really nice buck. While he was showing off the rack from different angles, both of the antlers came off at the same time. It would been a 160-170 class buck, how its just sheds.

[mooneyes]

went for a 4 mile walk in the snowshoes yesterday...no antlers but I sure slept good!

[dag_1980]

Walked for 2 miles yesterday on some public in Iowa. Snow was shin to knee deep. Only found a dead doe and dead button buck..... Oh ya and a live possum in a corn field. We are suppose to get another 4-7 inches of snow not good for looking for antlers.

[mrklean]

nice lookin sheds

[gloomiseye]

Nice find

[Monkster]

My son and I walked for about 2 hours in the metro on Saturday, no luck. I know a big set is going to be out there some where (standing at a feeder late last month), now we have to find it!

[LOTWSvirgin]

Picked one up today even after all the wind and snow the last couple days

[TonkaBass]

Way to go lotws! I got a couple last weekend, but haven't been able to get out this week and can't get out this weekend or nest week either I hope the big boy I saw holds til I have a chance at him!

[lungdeflator]

Went for 3 hours between classes today in a nice cedar swamp. lots of sign but no antlers. I think at this point any time spent in the woods is basically scouting for sheds

[PostFrontal]

I haven't been down to our property since hunting season, and am thinking about coming down there this weekend for a walk out in the fields and woods with the warmer weather.

How deep is the snow in the Rochester area? Would I need showshoes, or could I get by without them?

Has anyone had any luck finding racks in that area or are they buried?

Thank you for your help!

[jkcmj]

The areas I walked briefly near Roch were pretty miserable. I could walk right on top for 10 steps, then would cave in and be mid thigh. I only went an hour or so and bailed out with no luck. I recommend snow shoes if you plan to leave the trails at all.

Nice finds guys!!!

[LOTWSvirgin]

A biggun from today!!!

[jkcmj]

Now that's a find!
