My Friend Charlie and I got together yesterday for a shed hunt. we started off around 7 am covering a piece of proprty by the farm we hunt where we think the deer are bedding. It was a pine area with real thick underbrush and a real tough spot to find sheds. We didnt find any there so we went to another spot close by which is a big field with ceders and pines mixed in and thats where i found the first one of the day. It was a fresh small 2 point side.

At that point we searched around for the match but couldnt find it so we went to a different piece which was antother big overgrown field. Walking the edge Charlie saw a dead deer and it turned out to be a road kill with a weird rack

It was about 10:30 and he had to leave so we walked back to house and i decided to hit a new spot by myself. It was a thick overgrown field with a small pond and real thick briars. About 20 min in i decided to get into the thick briars and i came across my second antler of the day a small 3 point side.

After taking some pics and picking it up i began to search for the other side and about 2 min later i found a bigger one it was a 4 point side with a nice kicker off the g2

Now i was real pumped to have found 3 in one day so i searched around the pond some more and it lead me to a spot where i couldnt cross to get back to the car so i had to go back the way i came. I decided to give the spot another look for the match to the big one and about 50 yards from where i found it i found the match.

At this point it was about 1:30 and it was getting warm and i kept pulling ticks off my pants so i decided to call it a day and head home. It was a great day out in the woods and after about 10 times out alteady im glad to finally have some antlers in my possession. Going back out this weekend so hopefully ill have something else to post when i get back. Good luck to everyone who is going out!!

Oh here is the pic of them safe in my home lol.

Thanks Burt!! i didnt cut the horns off that buck b/c i forgot the hand saw that i usually carry in the car. Its in a spot where i dont think many people will be looking so i might go back for it in a month or two after some of the skin comes off.

WTG John!

It had to be hard to leave the woods after a 4 horn day! Hope you can keep tabs on the kicker buck this summer- he's looking like a good one!

Keep it up man, you'll shatter that old record like your arm after a day on the ice,lol!
