Post by: bobcat on February 23, 2012, 05:47:57 PM: You did good! Can you give us a clue to the type of area you found them? (terrain, cover, feeding area, bedding area, trail, etc?)

I need all the help I can get. I plan on going out sometime in the next month or so and spending some time looking.

Post by: Crowns on February 24, 2012, 12:59:41 PM: Nice! 3 fresh in 4 hours. You did awesome id say. I'm having a hard time because of the weather we had this year. I've found 2 sheds in probably 20 hours of walking. One freshy was barely exposed from the tree bows that fell during our ice storm. It wasn't even a very big antler which leads me to believe, in my area atleast, that there are a lot of antlers I'm walking right over top of. In any case, good job man.

What part of the state?
Here in Thurston county I have only seen bucks that are still packing.

Post by: huntbow on February 25, 2012, 06:21:04 PM: beginners luck i guess. After readin about everyone finding sheds i thought i would give it a try. nothing to lose right. well in the first five minutes i found this one, couldn't believe it but then i spent the next hour lookin for the other side but couldn't find it. maybe in a few weeks when i have another day off work i will go out and look again.
