SHED HUNTING THREAD - PICs INCLUDED

[TonkaBass]

At first glance I thought it was a nontypical, but it was just a small matchset.

I took a walk this afternoon and came up with my 10th of the season, and my biggest so far. I rough guessed it at around 70 inches. Nice to get a big one now and then!

A photo of my 1st 10 antlers of the season. More to add later I hope!

Saw a deer in the Metro still sporting his whole head gear! Both sides still very intact

[LOTWSvirgin]

Second match of the year

[TonkaBass]

Very nice lotws and jk! I went out today for a little while but didn't find anything. Hopefully the snow isn't too deep so I can get out this week after work!

Same here, I bumped into two 8 pointers yesterday and they had both sides. I chased them for a little while to see if anything would drop but no luck.

In the high winds yesterday they almost ran right into me, I just happened to hear a crash, turned around and there was a doe and two bucks 20 feet away, a fun little encounter for sure. Wish I had a camera on me at the time.

Nice sheds guys.

I too saw an 8pt still holding on Saturday in the Metro. I'm really pumped about the snow, for a second there it was looking like we could actually make it out in the metro and find something....

This has been a pretty slow season for me so far, I'm glad some of you guys are finding bone. Good luck to all.

Found this set this morning...

I wish. I'm sure some of you have heard of the "Excelsior" buck from this past summer. Well these are the sheds - I heard close to 90" a piece.

[TonkaBass]

Yeah it is the new mn state record and 6th biggest set in the world. 175 0/8 with one side at 90 3/8 and the other at 89 5\8. The duluth news tribune has the story. Insane deer!!!

Matchset! Wow! Doesn't get much better than that! What an awesome horn! Congrats!

[TonkaBass]

Do you have "found as" picture for that one? Love those drops!

[mrklean]

great lookin sheds guys

[matchset]

still rubbing

[fr0sty]

I checked my cams 2 and a half weeks ago. All were wearing antlers. Some were ever sparring. Cool stuff.

[JBone]

Is this odd?

[matchset]

its not odd.

IMO, 20% of bucks shed in December, 50% in January, 20% in February and 10% in March.

there's a lot of factors, but when its all said and done these are the percents i have come up with in my observations.

Monster from last Saturday

HT! how that G3 on the left side is AWESOME looking!

[sticknstring]

Yowza - that's a nice rack!

[lungdeflator]

WOW! HT thats awesome! I walked another 2.5 miles last night and found some good areas. Still waiting on the snow to get gone though. The -20 degrees we had this morning isnt helping the cause though!

you could always just go downtown and buy a few at one of those little gift shops!

[TonkaBass]

Nice set HT! I went out yesterday morning for a couple hours. I didnt find any but my buddy got one and he is now at 32 for the year. Did see a handful of carriers yet... enough snow already!

HT, what a set. I have an antler that looks some what like that. A couple deer in this one area I shed hunt have huge split twos. This is my first time on here so I will post some picks later. Might have to ask for some help.
