2016 Shed Hunting Thread...

I keep seeing a lot of Bucks in my area still with both sides. I was recently told by a DEC biologist that a buck will not drop its horns if there is a doe in "heat" in the area. Not sure how true it is, but being he is a wildlife biologist he must have known what he was talking about.

 

Seems unlikely as the estrus period is about 24hrs

I pulled cam cards yesterday and see some bald bucks, but most have both sides. I have one cam video taken yesterday am that has 5 bucks with both sides. 2 were sparing. I'll keep tabs on them and should have a good place to find some sheds in a few weeks.

Same here ! Date is off a bit....

I've been hitting the woods as hard as I can looking for sheds.  So far a year old little 4 point and this skull.  skull must be from a while ago.  It was just teeth bone and antler.  looking at the teeth this was not an old dear at all.

Where's everybody else's finds?  I know they're out there.

So I decided to hit the the woods before the lake effect hit yesterday morning. I found at least 10 sheds and got pictures of a few of them, but I think I have a different species of shed antler in my woods. They will not stay still long enough for me to pick them up!!!!
