Got out yesterday and put a couple miles on my boots. What beautiful weather for February! My buddy and I didn't find any shed antlers, but we did find some great deer sign. Anyone else been out lookin for sheds?
-
See how the weather is tomorrow and if we lose enough snow might try tomorrow
-
done a few short walks after work found one small dead head so far. Hoping to get out maybe Friday afternoon after seeding the food plot
-
Think I'm gonna take another walk this week one day. Our snow here is pretty much gone.

:o Wish it was that way here still 1' & 1/2 of snow on the ground :(
-
Found 5 so far. 2 old and 3 fresh. Some bucks are still holding both antlers.
-
That's awesome slinger! I have seen couple bucks still carrying as well

Thanks. Just found #6 today, good luck to ya.
-
Walked all day yesterday 2 dead heads and a small 4 point side. Saw 4 bucks while walking that had both sides still
-
Was out today for a couple hours. No sheds found but nice to be in the woods
-
Found #7 Friday. Also ran into another guy shed hunting. He told me he saw a guy with a dog and another group of 2. He says you find find any? I said nope.lol Crazy every year it gets tougher on public land. Seeing boot prints at all my good spots.
-
Had 8 deer in the yard the other day Bobby. They had another easy winter.
-
Picked up a set of spike shed a 4 and 5 point side this afternoon. 5 point was from last year, few chew marks but not bad.

Good deal! I'm excited for this next deer season. Got a bunch of hunting related stuff done this winter and also got a few loose ends tied up on the boat earlier than normal too. The lack of ice fishing was depressing to say the least. Had to keep busy so I didn't end up in a rubber room! 😜
-
Is there a certain type of area/cover/landscape a person should be concentrating on to find sheds?
Thanks
-
Depends where you live. If you live where the deer yard up in the winter you want to go check those areas out. If they don't I do the best in and around fields as well as thick bedding areas.
-
Thanks for the info
-
Figured I would dust this thread off since it’s that time of year. Yesterday I went out to pull a few cameras that were left up for some post season intel and figured I would do a little shed hunting while I was out. Ended up finding one side to an 8 pointer that I have quite a few pictures of. He should be a really nice deer this upcoming season.

Very nice find.. Congratulations.....
I like to put a tag on my finds with date and location on them...
-
Thanks Dom! Yeah I put a tag on it with date etc.. Can’t wait to go back out looking for more
-
Nice shed Bobby! Was that out back or down south?
-
Took a walk yesterday and found a small 4pt and this poor guy... ???

That was down south Bruce.
Nice find Dom!
-
Congrads on a great find Bobby :)
-
Looking like good shed hunting conditions are here again. This rain has knocked the snowpack back down. I’ll be giving it a shot this upcoming week
-
My nephew has a German Shorthair that is finding quite a few. The only problem is, if you don't get it away from him right away, the dog will bury it. Still some work to do....h2l
-
Hey guys. Figured I would get this thread going again. Anyone been out lookin for fresh sheds? Work has been pretty busy this winter and between that and ice fishing I haven’t took a walk in the woods yet. We haven’t had the thaws like last year but there has been a time or 2 that the weather has been decent for shed hunting. I’ll keep everyone posted on my success at the end of this winter and early spring. Good luck guys
-
Little to much snow still around here still.. ;)
-
Got me some nice moose sheds but lots of snow here as well....
-
That’s awesome GMH! I’d love to find some moose sheds.
-
I took a walk this past Friday to take a look for sheds and do a bit of off season scouting. I didn’t end up finding any sheds but I did get pictures of 7 bucks on trail camera. They all had antlers still except one had dropped both and another had dropped one side. This was in late February. I also picked up a tick 😡 I woke up Saturday morning and noticed it on my lower back around my waistband area.
-
Figure I would dust this thread off. It’s about that time to start lookin around for shed antlers. Anyone else been out?
-
I just started doing it this year, and have more so just been going for a walk in the woods every weekend with my dad. The snow around me in NH has dropped a bit and yesterday we looked for a few hours in areas we had seen the bucks frequenting. Nothing yet, but it was still nice to get out in the woods.
My cousins dog found a few nice ones years ago, and we are going to try that area next weekend I think.
-
2 feet of snow in the woods here... Im thinking April around here.... ;D ;D
-
Switching gears from ice fishing to shed hunting. I’m gonna hit the woods and fields pretty hard. Heading to my bow hunting spot in the southern tier this weekend. Post on how your doing finding sheds on here guys. I know you guys up north might have few more weeks before the snow levels drop enough to get out and about. Good luck!
-
I've put some miles on in western Maine to no avail so far. Seeing lots of deer though. Starting to get discouraged seeing all the ones some have been getting. I'm a super patient person though and will be out while I can.

About 100% certain it's the other side of last years find. 8th mile separation. Glad it hadn't gotten chewed.

#2 and #3 today
-
Yes Sir! Nice job!
-
Nice find...
-
Love finding these in the area I hunt. Let's me see what I'll have for options the next season. All within that 2 mile range.
-
Perfect!
-
Anyone been out shed hunting? I’ve took a couple walks but nothing yet
-
Not with the amount of snow we have....
-
Yeah I hear you there. Not nearly the snow in the southern tier where my buddys farm is that I hunt compared to what is at my house and up your way. I usually focus my efforts down there until the freeze thaw starts up again by my place.
-
We have a a good and a half of snow up here
Deer are really looking for stuff to fill there bellies now

-

-
Sheds and chaga from last spring. I had never looked for sheds prior and was surprised to find that they really are out there if you spend some time.

Very nice!

Picked up my first shed of the year last Friday. Freshie still had blood on the pedicle. Had pics of the buck with only the left side at 8am that morning. My buddy goes back and finds the left side the next day. Lucky for me I’ll get the match since I found the first side.
-
Hard time finding them here got 2 feet of snow here
