How am i missing them

[backyardtndeer]

Got a series of cell cam pics this morning that had me believing i should have at least one shed antler in my plot. I have found very few despite putting on many miles on my boots walking my farm every year.
Both sides at 3:47 am.

Still there with both sides at 4:19 am.

Walking towards another buck at 4:20 am.

Back with just one side at 4:39 am.

As he walks off, he holds his head sideways for several frames until he gets out of range.

He was gone from camera range for all of 19 minutes. I walked a grid of the plot and no luck, walked the edges of the woods, and most the main trails and no luck. Walked most of the rest of the field the plot is in and no luck. Any tips or advice? Possible the antler got hung on the other buck, or maybe a coyote picked it up already? How likely is it the other side also dropped this morning?

Idk. Until maybe 15 years ago I had never found a shed. Then I seen my first shed now I see them everywhere.

Man I have no idea. I've never found a shed by searching for them and only found a few by accident. My brother on the other hand can't step into the woods or field without finding a shed or arrowhead or something else cool. But not me. If they were snakes I'd been dead long ago.

They get took by squirrels fast imo. Also it's just a eye that learn to look for.

I've only been a few times looking for them and never found any.

Have found some by pure accident while turkey hunting. Even found matching spike sheds about 15' apart once.

Cool footage. Hope you find them. Also wondered if squirrel or coyote might make off with them.?
