It's actually a buck another hunter shot late in 2011. They had 4 hunters and a dog looking for it. I couldn't beleive it was the same deer because the antlers were well preserved but it is the same one as verified by a trailcam.  My son decided to give his find to the hunter.

I went down on the farm today to do some stump shooting,and after I pulled my truck over and went around to the passenger side to get my bow and arrows out, lo and behold right beside my truck, is my first shed for the year.

I'm all fired up again.  Our snow is melting, but more is on the way.  I have a buddy coming up next week, and we are going to hit it hard!  Can't wait!

I found two spikes within a foot of each other in the edge of my yard a couple days ago. Gave them to one of my buddies who makes knives.

Got out for a couple days of shed hunting last week and managed to find a few...

I had just told my buddy to keep his eyes peeled for some drive-by sheds and I looked out the window ... all I could do was was giggle like a little girl!

 

 

This is a BIG gnarly shed off a buck I have lots of trailcam videos of while rubbing a post during the rut. His other side is a 3pt with double eyeguards that I hope to find when the snow melts.

 

Another set I found together...

 

Found this big 4pt, and searched for hours trying to locate the mate...but it might be buried under the snow?

 

Ended up finding 11 brownies myself.

 

It never did get above freezing, but I found some pitch slabs for some epic campfires.

Great pics everyone!
This is the first year in many that we have struck out. The normal deer holding area here is vacant this year. Not sure why yet.
Cedars are thick, there are a few coyotes but no more than usual. Deer have just vanished.

Well, have you guys back in the whitetail country been able to get out hiking yet?

Here's a few from my last couple of trips. Nice set laying near each other.

Last weekend I went looking for a couple big sheds to try and match up a couple found earlier, no luck finding them, but did find some others including a BIG 4pt from last year. It has a couple chews on the white side, but still has good color on the side that was down.

 

 

Heading out the door for half a day.  :)

Nice work on the antlers sns!

Hiked around for four hours today and found 7 sheds. One 3pt seedling, a couple from last year, and two fresh sets. One nice 4pt set was laying one on top of the other...makes it easy to locate the match that way!   :)

Great finds, guys.  I've been out since the first week in Feb. but not one shed.  Spent about 2 hours yesterday looking and came up with zip.  Hard to find them here in SE Texas.
