Shed season has begun….

[Winchester]

majority still wearing them here as well, matter of fact I have got only one buck with a single antler all others still fully intact.

 

[Smoke]

Went through look for other side of one I found earlier. Got lucky and found it this evening. Squirrels had just started on it. Most others still holding.

Nice find.

Want to know what makes a grown man yell "oh !" with excitement? Seeing this ole girl come trotting up behind me toting the big one in the middle. I never saw it and never would have due to its color and darkness. She definitely solidified herself as a shed dog with this one.

Found a couple yesterday myself

I covered some serious ground over the weekend but never found any

I'm not an intentional shed hunter, usually find them with the mower, but I'll tell you from a taxidermy standpoint, it's been a "weird rack" year. Crazy brow tine growth, drop tines, etc. I'll post picks if I can remember. Last couple years have been very typical "baskets" but this year it's like the next one in is crazier than the last. Not sure if it's a combo of drought / acorns or what.

I hear that, same for me. Next for me the powerline field and wood line ridge.

Put in over 8 miles yesterday and didn't find any. Still early I think I've only gotten pictures of 2 bucks missing one side so far

 

[Creek bottoms]

I found 6 in the fields Sunday, but they're small to medium sized. The good bucks are still carrying at my place.

any tips or tricks on finding them? I wander the woods but I don't have any fence lines or such where they can be jostled loose. I can only hope for a lucky one here or there....

Looked this morning here and no luck.

You're more apt to find them in the fields. Squirrels get on them in the woods.

[1 good shot]

Wasn't looking for it, just happened to see something shiny on the edge of the field

Thanks. No fields on my place

 

[BigCityBubba]

Still have a few with their antlers

 

[Tn_Va_Hunter]

Found a matching set yesterday.

I look in fields. Then I walk the known travel routes. Or where they have to jump over a log or creek crossing. Mainly just luck for me
