HI Garrett!  Haven't found any yet, but haven't been looking too much yet.  There should be some on the ground by now.  Tell Richard that I don't have your banquet reservations yet.    :eek:

Warm days here in PA so I will be taking down treestands tomorrow and checking some of my local shed hunting hot spots.  I did see deer last week with antlers still on thier head, but have not seen any this week.  I usually dont head out this early, but with the early thaw here I think I will find some!

While some seem to drop around Jan. 1, most in my area of Nebraska don't seem to drop until Feb. or early March.  I went out for a couple hours on Saturday and found 0 sheds, but saw two bucks still carrying both sides.  I start getting serious about Mar. 1.

Found one here in Ohio yesterday, a very nice half of and eight point I'm guessing.  I have been out three times and this is the first I have found.  Anyway happy hunting, I love hunting for these things I hate to say it but I'm obsessed.

My uncle found matching sheds in the yard off a young buck he let go the last afternoon of our season, but thats it, we have a hard time finding them or even walking around in the places our deer yard up.

Found a 46" 4 point this evening in NW PA. That's the earlist I've found one. Still had fresh blood on it.

About a third of the Bucks around here are shed. My Lab Pup has dragged two home so far. I don't get too serious until March either

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Not sheds, but found this last Saturday....
 

Out of the water it looked like this....

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
