I know better than to walk down the road with a shed in hand. :chuckle: I've had a real slow year, but found a few.

Post by: huntnnw on April 20, 2012, 09:54:03 AM: Ive never seen a whitey in my life with antlers..not saying they couldnt..but I see deer daily where I live and have for the last 15+ years..I would venture to say 99.9% of whitetails are bare..the big bucks right now have 2" velvet nubs right now around here

Post by: PolarBear on April 20, 2012, 10:00:12 AM: It was a rough year over where I go. Very few early on but now that the snow and ice is about gone my buddy has picked up a wheel barrow full in my "secret" spot that I couldn't get to before. The bastage picked up the sheds from the big boy that I have been after. :bash: It seems that the critters had gotten to almost every shed that he found. Hungry little turds!

Post by: PolarBear on April 22, 2012, 12:51:04 PM: Nope. I'll have to dig through his pile the next time that I am over and take a good close look at them. We don't use trail cams. That particular area, because it is a b- to get into, we stay out of it as much as possible except to find sheds and only when we are hunting.

The latest I ever saw one holding was April 15th. He was a 2 1/2 year old 4x4... in the Cheney unit.
