Finally, luck was on my side today!!! I came across this nice fresh 10-pt. set laying together out in a hayfield. I have checked this field several times already but have come up empty. These babies weren't there last weekend and still have dried blood on the bases. Hearing of numerous people seeing bucks still packing antlers...

How cool is that !
Despite our ever-changing,ever-indignant world with its growing ignorance of and indifference to the ways of the wild, I remain a predator, pitying those who revel in artificiality and synthetic success while regarding me and my kind as relics of a time and place no longer valued or understood.James

Excellent- maybe now the drop will get contageous in your area!
They look like they're ready for the Super Bowl sitting there on the couch. Better grab an extra 6pk for them!

Actually, I broke the ice with a small shed on 1/22 but hadn't found anything since then despite treking many miles looking for them. So, three down and 14 to go to hit my goal of 17 for the season.

It was more like a 3 week slump. It's hard to pick up sheds when they buckas are still wearing them!!!

I wwent shed hunting today. Only horns I seen were still on top of a bucks head. Just a tad smaller then those sheds. Can't believe they're still holding. Can't be for much longer...

Super nice shed's looks like a buck I had come in to 40 yrds and wouldn't get any closer this yr during bow. I was wondering where he went to. Tell him to get back here will ya. 
I havent found any sheds after several outings or seen any deer wearing there rack either. I think they are all dead. My uncle said one guy who own's a bunch of property on the back side of the hill we hunt was bragging about his family killing 15 deer this yr off the hill. Which would explain why there is a lack of sign there right now. I bet he'll be the first one complaining about not seeing any deer next yr to.
I ran into another guy in the woods sheding Sunday. He say's he hasn't found a shed yet either and usually has a hand full by now. His theory is landowner on the other side of the hill on this other property is feeding the deer and they are all over there hanging out. Hard to tell where the deer have been since there is no snow. Was easier last yr to find sheds because they actually yarded up because of the snow.
