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...

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!

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??

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.

It was early ML season a few years ago..... Found a small 3 point shed.... Probably a benchleg..... Looked like it was at least a few years old though...

So I've got you all beat so far right?

Not chewed on or anything.... Just bleached out on both sides!!!

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.

Coulda mounted them back on him and gave him a couple extra inches on his spread
