2012 Sheds

[r00s7a]

Saturday was a beautiful day for riding, nice and cool, so I loaded up and went shed hunting. Didn't find anything spectacular, but I came up with 12. My buddy only found 1, but it was a big nice thick 5 point... happened to be right by my tire when he spotted it. Half of the 12 that I found were fresh, so they are definitely dropping.

Nice haul. When do they usually start falling? I have a game cam and im still getting piCs of bucks with antlers still on.

That one dropped his whole head?

haha! Yeah, you should see him walking around now, runs into everything...

Nice! You found more in one day than I have found over the last two years, I walked my tail off last year looking and found squat, nada, zero, and only 3 the year before that. I put out some corn under a log and in some thick stuff just to see if I could get one or two knocked off in the process, we shall see. I am uncomfortable with putting out corn in a shed trap, as I don't get out there everyday and I would be a little worried I had one tangled up.

Yes Roosta, I particularly like the magnificant shed on the far left. He seems to have given his ALL when he shed that.

Shed hunting is a lot more fun from an ATV.

the same techniques apply to walking or ATV.

Find a game trail that is near brush, trees, creek crossings, or barbed wire fences where they jump and follow it.I posted pics of the ones we found last season. Its still a little early for the northern part of the state. won't be long though.

There are some sites on the net that show how to build a shed trap. Pretty easy.

That what I was thinking, funny stuff. Petey from Dumb & Dumber.

friend of mine in texas say they use dogs that are trained to find deer sheds, and they find a ton during the year. will have to get a pic of what he sent me last year, it was crazy!
