I am in southwest oklahoma. I went shed hunting for the first time this season yesterday afternoon. I did not find any. The only thing I got was 5 armadillo's. I checked my trail cameras and I had a few pictures of some bucks with no horns, but I had more pictures of bucks with horns. I had a nice 125 class 8 point yesterday morning on my trail camera. I figured they would have all dropped thier horns by now. I was just wanting some feedback on what you have found so far.
It appears that the antlers have been dropped around here, just haven't had time to shed hunt, yet
I figured they would be dropped here also, but it looks like most of them have not. I will be out this weekend to see if I can find any
Just found 2 on a short walk with the dogs. I'll load a pick later, time to pick up the kids.
I say a small buck yesterday before dark and he still had his horns on.
Central OK here,..have 3 dinks behind the house that I've been feeding thru winter. They still have their antlers...
Southeast Oklahoma. No sheds found yet but did have a little buck with one antler on game came a few weeks ago.
In south central Kansas I am still seeing bucks with antlers, but am still going o hea out hunting this weekend.
Bucks holding the antlers late into the season is one sign of deer with low stress.
Well it looks like I am not going to be able to shed hunt this weekend. We are getting some much needed rainfall. I guess I will hang out in the reloading room this weekend.
I went yesterday morning before the rain, didn't find anything. Saw a turkey and jumped up a few deer. Maybe next weekend...
I have found 5-6 so far this year, a couple decent ones, but I have also still seen some carrying their horns.
What part of the country are you in?
Our whitetail have been all over the place this year. I started picking up fresh horns first week of January, and saw a buck still carrying this week. Same size as the first couple I picked up in January.
I am in Northern Missouri. I will post a pic of what I have found so far tomorrow. I would like to see some more pics of what everyone else is finding
I am heading to NW Oklahoma in a couple of weeks to shed and turkey hunt. I wasn't able to go until September last year, and I found 18 with 5 match sets.
Nice find. I usually only find three or four horns a year.
I saw the remains of a small buck that had horns over the weekend that got hit by a car in southern Oklahoma. I've been out a couple of times this past month with no luck. Probably going out this evening to see what I can find, should be coming off anytime you would think.
I've had a great year on whitetail so far, but I'm getting ready to throw in the towel on finding the other side to this guy-
Im in Georgia. I checked trail cams early this week and on March 10 I still had a 3 pt holding onto his antlers. I walked over the whole property and didn't find one shed.
Nice horn! What are you scoring that at if the other side matches?
Nice horn! What are you scoring that at if the other side matches?
He's 161-162. I watched him quite a bit in December and his other side is an inch of two bigger... I think.
That is a heck of a horn. Nice find.
A guy locally found a set of sheds from a large, atypical buck we had on cameras last fall. Just sold the pair of sheds for $5500. Not a bad gig if you can find it!
That is a heck of a price for a set of sheds. I do not think it is legal in oklahoma to sell them.
Here is the deer in question on the hoof
I would like to see those sheds
To hell with the sheds, I want to see the deer!
Love to shed hunt. Usually dropping about now in a good year.
This year will be tough to find with all the rain and new growth.
I ain't complaining about too much rain in Texas!
Scored a goliad Co. pair picked up last year at 152. Big for the area!
