Great find TJ. Looks like one to watch in the coming years. Can't wait for the snow to melt here so I can go look around and hopefully find some.

Great find TJ!!


This is one of two, the other was a spike with an acorn...saw him, got pix, and then by some stroke of luck, found his massive 6" of antler on his right side. Don't know where those pix are though...

But I do have this one...

"Lucky" from the fall of 2010...

Never got any pix of him this past fall, nor did I see him...I can only hope he's still out there!

NICE Tom....it's a shame you don't have any NICE bucks!!  

[KentuckyTJ]

Curt, keep the hope. I have seen them disappear for a season or even two and show back up.

Allen, I am hoping this guy really blows up this year. He has the tine length and extras to make a really nice one.

Great buck Tom! Got 2/3 of it done...now go kill him in Sept  

[Tree Killer]

Love the eyeguards on that shed Tom!!!

I had numerous pics of this buck two years ago...

 

 

 

Found his left antler on Feb. 5th and couldn't locate the right side. Figured somebody else had tripped over it...but then last spring it magically appeared not too far from where the trailcam pics were taken and no chews to speak of!

Awesome Tom!  Great thread you have started.  The weather here is really starting to get nice..I believe you have inspired me to get out with the trail cam!

Great finds as well from everyone else...way too cool to find the matching headgear...I love it!

[KentuckyTJ]

Wow Bondo that is fantastic. Good one! Is this recemt or from the past? Is deer still alive or do you know his demise?

[kennym]

Guys, that is about as cool as it gets!

Found that shed Yesterday. The trail cam pic was from a year ago. The shed had been laying there for about a year. had almost no signs of weathering. Looked like it had just been dropped. No pics or sightings of him last year, I hope to run into him this Fall.

I have to ask how many acres you're sitting on.  The farm I have shot my largest deer on is about 400 acres.  I took pics of at least five of what I consider a "shooter" just this past season. Some were big 2.5 yo's but a couple are definitely older. I have found exactly 0 sheds from any of those deer.  Maybe they haven't dropped them yet but I'm sure at least one has. Point is, if I find a big shed, chances are I've never seen the deer. If I have pictures, or have seen it on the hoof, I never find its sheds. The food is here this year as its the first time in ages the fields have been in a cover crop. Super frustrating.

Kyle, deer are creatures of habit. If they are use to wintering in a different area they will keep going there. Make them feel safe and give them food and with in the next couple years they will start staying there.

[kbetts]

Weather is a bit different here than the Dakota's.  Food is literally everywhere almost all of the time.  Early season, I have them coming out of the woodwork.  Late season is so hit or miss. I keep missing. There isn't much pressure so I'm sure they feel safe.

[KentuckyTJ]

Kyle, without seeing your place and the surrounding areas and knowing what goes on there it is difficult to say. But I promise you they are close to the BEST late season food source. Don't forget water they need that year around as well. Predators are also very active this time of year and high densities of them can disperse deer herds. We take as many off our places as we can.
