Some nice ones there!

[G-Man]

Nice! did you train the dog as a shed hunter or is it just in the pictures?

[LIHUNT]

oh god no! He tags along.  Last year he did find what was left of a nice buck.  As bad as it smelled though i think anything with a nose would have found it.

[LIHUNT]

Headed back out tomorrow for a full day of shedd'in

[mbucks27]

Awesome finds LIHUNT.  I hope to get back out there this weekend good luck tomorrow!!!

Nothing in the way of sheds yesterday, but I did get into a few good looking areas I'll need to get back to when we get another thaw.

My guess is two roadkills here. First one's an old doe. The 2'nd pic a button buck that was VERY fresh and still warm to touch. Concidered a backstrap lunch, but I just had a sammich.

At a few new fields I found a lot of antlerless deer in groups of 10-20 grazing in the distance.

In total I covered over 6 mile of ground yesterday and came home empty handed. :'(  So far that's 4 dead doe and fawns, and one dead buck.

Sure hope there's enough time between meltdown and green-up to rescue them all.

Nah, that little fella was definately roadkill. His ribs were jello. I must have just missed it. He made it 20 yds or so off the road with a group of other deer headed into the park. Their tracks cut a neighboring houses lawn before he shuffled across the ditch and died. Clean and legal kill there. They even crossed where they were supposed to within 100 yds of the deer crossing sign.

Yup i guess that would explain the blood on his head but man from the pic it sure does look like a bullet hole and blood splatter.I guess mabey he should have been a little closer to the sign.

This winter has to have been hard on the herd in areas

My primary ground was caught in that 42" in 30 hrs storm in late Nov-Per observation and camera surveys it appears alot of the bucks "vanished" by mid Dec..think the possibility of dropping early due to that winter stress is a consideration of mine...

[mbucks27]

I went out today and i found this one sitting next to a rub in some real thick stuff.http://images.proboards.com/new/grin.png[/img].

That's a dandy! Way to get back on 'em with the thaw and good luck matching it up! ;D

[Geno C]

good job john!

wish i could make it out this weekend. im working OT and double all weekend... good thing for my pocket but i was pumped to get out for shed hunting. my partner is going with out me 

[WNY Bowhunter]

A buddy of mine found this guy while out snowmobiling this afternoon.  I watched this buck grow all summer.  He grossed 130" but would have been around 145" if he hadn't been all busted up.

There appears to be a bullet hole going through the jaw.  I'll know for sure when I skin the head out...

[wooly]

Oh dude- that's a pisser. :'(
