Im not a shed hunter per say but I did find one today, just because it was beside the road I was riding on. REALLY EARLY to find one down here this time of year. Usually we dont start seeing them til April.  Maybe cause we havent had a winter ???

Yeah, there are still bucks in my area fully crowned (seen one today) although right now is the peak shedding period around here, but some will still carry into April.

Here you go Zbone.

This is wrong though. When pronghorns shed, their new horn pushes the old one off while growing. This process starts in later November. You won't see the bone like in above photo, but will see a black horn, made from hair, just smaller than his old one. Very unique critters. They are not antelope, and are not related in any way. I will see if I have any pics of freshly shed bucks.

Zbone, I have no pics of freshly shed pronghorns. When they do shed, they look just like a really small buck. Their new horns push off the old.

Shedrock - Way cool, thanx for sharing.

Had a young buck cast one side in my back yard the other day.

Seen him fully crowned on Sunday the 19th, and found his right antler Tuesday morning of the 21st.

Waiting for the snow to melt here. When it does I will be out looking. Found 5 so far but 4 of them are last years.

Been in the woods quiet a bit lately and only thing I found is the first tick of the season today. It was on my waist when I got home.

After church and Sunday dinner this past week my daughter and I spent a couple hours shed hunting and scouting.  No sheds on that day, but a great day to be in the woods with my girl.

Austin, looks like she was having fun even though you didn't find any. Looks like a nice day as well. We have had about 2 foot of snow here in the last 2 weeks so your weather makes me jealous.
