I haven’t seen where anyone started this yet. So I’ll get it going with my MONSTER find. Hey, anybody can spot big antlers in the woods. Lol

This one is three inches base to tip. I agree with Bvas, anybody can find big antlers!  :)

Hahaha looks like what I find around here!

Yeah they are still out hard at it in rut right now. I am going to make it a point to get out after some sheds more this year!

My father in law told me that sheds are participation awards for people or who can’t hunt!! I told him I suck at finding sheds too so what does that mean.? Lol

First find!My game warden friend has an awesome duck dog and I got a pup from him. He seemed a little put out with me not using him to chase ducks. He'll have to get over it as right now this pup is my number one!

 


We ended up having a pretty good day. Henry is 7 months old and not only is working to becoming a shed dog, he did a good job retrieving squirrels. He got tired and only found the one on his own, but we have a start!

I've got trailcam pics in SE Texas with headgear missing but I haven't found any yet.  Next week I plan on looking every afternoon but normally, I only find one every couple of years.  We don't have that many deer here anyway.

Best of luck to all.

I haven't started serious looking yet.  I'm IMPATIENTLY waiting for one in particular to drop his other side.  
He's been lopsided for at least two weeks!!!

I found a matched set yesterday. It was sitting for 2 years before I found it. They are from a deer we have a lot of history with. Funny thing is, I found one of his sheds last spring and this set was no more than 15 yards away. Don't know how I missed them.
