There's only one thing better than finding a nice fat 5pt like that......completing the set!

Sweet finds man! Good to see some of this snow finally disappearing.

[WNY Bowhunter]

Two more sets from yesterday (same spot as last 10-pt set). Not bad for an hour walk before work!!!

Nice! I found nothing but snow yesterday...

[WNY Bowhunter]

Well, looks like shed hunting will have to be put on hold for a couple of days now...

[WNY Bowhunter]

Made it for three hours between raindrops...found 8, nothing special but antlers none the less.  Makes 21 for the season. I plan on hitting it hard tomorrow and sunday,

 

I'll post pics tomorrow.

Cool story to #8, it was the match to  a shed that I found in 2012...

 

 

In October 2012 I found that deer dead, he grew A LOT in one year!!!

That is awesome!  Ages?  I was thinking 2 1/2 and 3 1/2?

Nice to see the season is finally shaping up around here!

Congrats to wifey on her first couple of antler finds, and good job gathering up the rest, along with that SWEET hanger! 

[WNY Bowhunter]

The sheds make it seem that way. I thought he was probably 4.5 based on his huge body. I wish I could have weighed him, he was for sure 200+ dressed...

Awesome pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WNY Bowhunter]

Didn't really kill it over the weekend like I was hoping, I only found a small one yesterday and one old chewed up relic of an antler today bringing the yearly total to 24 sheds,

 

My wife made a remarkable find today. We were driving down the road 40 mph and she turned to me and said "I think I just saw a big shed laying in the grass!" I turned around and sure enough there are white tines sticking up about 30 yds off the road.  She went out and grabbed it and I realized it was last years antler from the big browtined buck I found a few weeks ago. I also found the matching antler from last year back in January. Together if they weren't chewed and busted up by the bean harvester the set would have grossed around 145". Needless to say, I am SO proud of her first road shed!!!

Awesome and from a moving car...............

[WNY Bowhunter]

Got a few outings in me them it's time to shift my attention to killing gobblers!!!

 

[WNY Bowhunter]

Made it out for an hour before work and picked up this nice little 8pt set...

[wooly]

Some times that's all it takes!

Too bad you couldn't put in more hours today....... shed hunting of course!

Another nice set man!

[WNY Bowhunter]

Thanks. Looks like we are the only two still doing the shed hunting thing?

[mbucks27]

Nice set!!! I'm done for the year too much going on this month for me. I'll be looking next month while I'm out for turkey though. Good luck and I hope you scoop up a few more before green up.

Made it out for another quick hour walk before work today and snatched up a cute little 8pt set. Wish the big ones would fall this way. Any ways,my 8th set of the season and overall sheds numbers 27 and 28.

[ny hunter]

NICE!!! you make it look easy..

[wooly]

Dang- over 50% set rate is phenominal!

Don't slow down now with green-up right around the corner.

Hope you can grab a few more before you start grabbing gobblers by their ankles!

Congrats on another nice set!

[WNY Bowhunter]

Another before work set from friday, makes an even 30 for the season. I found these babies laying out in a harvested beanfield. No ATL's on these ones...I took some but ended up losing my phone on the way back to the truck...

 

[WNY Bowhunter]

ATL pics...

[ny hunter]

Thats gonna be a real nice deer in a year or 2..

[chiefbkt]

Those are some awesome shed finds!  Good luck connecting on one of the big ones this fall.
