Nice batch of whitetail sheds! Thought I'd share some of the Blacktail sheds I've been finding the last couple weeks.

Tree Killer those are some great finds on Blacktails!

I particularly enjoyed the picture 2nd from the top where you found the matched set on the trail.

That was *good* outing!

This batch was from two weeks ago. It dumped a bunch of snow, so I haven't been out since then.

Thanks Josh, hopefully I'll have plenty more to share this coming summer!

Here's a matched set of spikes I found at work last week. They were laying on the high side of a tree I was about to cut. Look to be a year, maybe two old. I have 13-14 spikes in my collection, but this is only my 2nd set.

No bone yet, but I saw a little year & 1/2 with both sides still on when I was out last week.

Found one fresh 4 point @115-120 class.  Found six white ones, a matched set were they fell as he jumped a fence.  A couple old horns nicer than the fresh one.  They should start dropping any day.  We have found five within about forty yards while cutting Cedar.

Have found a 5,4,2 and a spike.  My big find was a skull from a boar.  Big old tusks.  Not supose to have boars in  my area!

Tree Killer, those are some quality Blacktail horns. Looks like a great place to hunt.

I just noticed this thread. Really neat!
Tree Killer, LOL I love that diving picture.
 

We've only found two this year so far. Yhe one on the left is from last winter and I'm fairly sure it's the same buck as the middle one. The one on the right was found by my wife hanging in a bush.

Went out here in central NJ twice this week and none to be found yet. We have seen one 3 year old buck and a young un  still with both sides on, the cycle here is so screwy we have deer being bred into March and I believe in some cases April. I have young fawns that look to be 4-6 months old walking all around my property. it is rather freaky if you ask me.

Well, no swan dives this week.    :knothead:  


I found three brownies today, the first was a small 3pt...

 

Then I walked my tail off before finally spotting something up a trail...

 

These sweeties were FRESH!

 

 

I'll sure be glad when the snow goes away so I can cover more ground...

Took a friend shed hunting with me Friday and he found this mega 11pt Blacktail shed!

 

A basic 4pt frame, but has stickers and slag all over it.
