Earliest Shed I've Ever Found
« on: December 09, 2011, 11:58:46 AM »
I'm not a devoted shed hunter but I spend a fair amount of time in the field and on Nov 26 while moose hunting I spotted this shed laying on top of a fresh snow from that morning. We saw the bull 3 times during the hunt and he still had the other side in tact the last time we saw him....

sorry we were unable to get a pic of the moose himself...   :bash:

It'd be cooler if it was a massive whitetail shed!!!

I have a buddy that was feeding deer one fall and on November 27th a buck came in with one horn, 2 days later, he had none. he never foudn either!

Nice, I'd like to find a few moose sheds.  None anywhere close to me though.  Cool find!   :tup:

When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

A couple years ago, a kid I know was deer hunting over by moses lake in the general season. He shot a nice buck, it ran into some brush and a doe came out the other side and tipped over. He got up to it and at first was extremely upset, thinking he had shot a doe somehow. It had dropped its antlers while behind that brush I guess. He found them and they were just like fresh sheds with the bloody peds. This was in october, and a mature buck. Maybe too mature?? :dunno:

My earliest shed prior to this:

I was snowmobiling looking for cougar tracks on Dec 20 and found where a buck had stuck his antlers in the snowmobile trail and left them both side by side, stuck in the snow, just like he left them. Wished I had a photo, it was pretty cool looking. It was a nice buck too!

Moose usually shed first.  When I lived in Montana, a neighbor shot what he thought was an antlerless(cow) moose, it was a bull that had shed both sides.  This event happened the last weekend of the season, right after thanksgiving.

I found a matching ste of whitetail sheds at my stand on December 13th 2008. The buck actually came in that night and I should have shot him but passed.
