[landtracdeerhunter]

The search for the needle in the haystack. Shed some light on this subject.

Found a couple.

PA just now, still holding 

[landtracdeerhunter]

Neither of my shed finds are recent drops.

Watching the Brownsville Maine site I see most of the young bucks have dropped their horns, the big guys are still holding on to theirs, many of the medium size bucks have dropped one side. With this bare ground sheds should be easier to find.

I know of only one buck that dropped his antlers here. Got a bow shot view of him on the 29th of December during late season.

I know the one was a drop from an earlier year. The other, not so sure about know.

Came empty handed after a 3 mile hike in the nasty thorny bedding area..oh well will try again next weekend

Participated in a nice sunny afternoon walk yesterday. Quit a bit of vegetation that looks to be palletable for the deer. Quantity of hoof prints in the mud, some large.  Shed finds in this area, to easy.

On board, with fresh little 3 pt side

tell you what, the feeling never gets old when I first spot one while searching 

[First-light]

Been out a bit with the dogs. Found 1 dead doe. Thats is so far. 

[landtracdeerhunter]

They all count. I find the smaller ones harder to find.

We can start a thread on dead ones of all kinds.

First ever one pointer/spike!

Not a shed but a dead head found today. Found head and spine could this have been from this season. Totally clean.

I'd think not - no hair / tissue remnants and too much discoloration (green) to be from this year, IMO.

Yeah the more I think about it just the spine and leg bones were there. Probably year before. Boy its in a place I frequent often. Can't believe I missed it.

It looks like an older one to me.

Is that a Jack Russell in the last picture??? Great dogs
