[boonie]

Well here it is. Now to just find some. So far 1 set is all I found. Not big but I will post a pic when I get home. Let's see some sheds.

[Byron]

Picked up 3 singles and two sets so far. Including one that's just over 75"

[Alberta Bigbore]

Headed out in a couple hours. Hoping Bella finds some lol.

[bdub]

Was out yesterday and seen a 150 ish whitetail still carrying his.

[boonie]

Heading out in a hour also. The double droptine buck has dropped. Hoping for some luck.

[YoungBuck]

Found my first on Jan 31, a small 4 point. 2nd on the 3rd of Feb, a solid 4 point, spotted it in the ditch as i was driving by, it must have fallen during the night.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Bella and I found nothing today, but wasnt out long. Had to be back in the city to meet another member.

[LacLaBicheNS]

never tried to shed hunt.

any tips?

Just follow deer tracks? I know they tend to fall off when the jump over fences. Any other tips?

[BowtechBoy]

Hoping to strap on the snow shoes and get out myself.....

[craig_temple]

I should have just posted in here, but didn't see this thread till after I posted on a thread of my own. Sorry.
I was out Saturday morning and found 2 muley sheds. The bigger one scores 74" and would make him approx 165" deer. The other would be in the mid 140's.
-Craig

[boonie]

Nice!!!!!!

[laker]

scooped up these 2 about fifty yards apart just after New Years. Not a match though. Right one scores 83 3/8" and the left one goes 71". A lot of snow out there now.

[buckkiller321]

VERY NICE!!!!!!!:snapoutofit:

[boonie]

Got out today for a couple hours and managed to find 4, biggest goes 75 inches. Lots of snow makes it tough going though, between knee and waist deep.
The matched set I found a couple of weeks ago.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Right on!! Gives me hope for this weekend.

[Jameson340]

4 hours of shed hunting really paid off haha, always next time!

[Dan_Andres]

Most whitetail bucks still packing at least one side south of Calgary. Put on a lot of miles and still haven't found any fresh ones. The drop should start pretty good soon.....

[Dunezilla]

The bucks I seen yesterday still have their racks.

[dfrobert]

There dropping like crazy where I'm at. Finding most near the bales and feeding areas. I never walk the bedding areas until spring.

[addictedfisherman]

Found my weirdest shed to date.
That is a 12 inch ruler in the pic. Im guessing that this is from an Old Mulie past his prime.

[bdub]

That almost looks like a small moose shed. Weird one for sure. heading out for a few hours today so hopefully will find something.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Headed out in the morning... hopefully the shed gods have made them fall off deer in this area..lol

[flyguyd]

X2

I would guess baby bull moose:thinking-006:

I would guess baby bull moose:thinking-006:

We compared the size of the base to some of the small elk and moose sheds we had and this one was much much smaller than any of the elk or moose sheds.
(on a side note it was also found by a stack of bales where we often get mule deer feeding.)

I agree it is a deer shed because the little stickers close to the base and the little bend also at the base.

[concreteguy]

hi fellow shed hunters im going to whitecourt area sat, saw a real nice 170 whitey last week , he still had both , hoping to find my first of the yr sat. good luck to all looking

[Crossfire]

Bearen09 and myself found this nice match set today. Seen him twice last fall.

[buckhunter66]

[boonie]

Great looking sheds guys. Always nice when u get a matched set.

[honda450]

The only one found this year, just found it while working. Like going out just after the snow is gone. Looked for the other side but no luck, my time was limited.

[duck duck goose]

I was out for a ride yesterday and saw 2 140ish white tails still sportin both sides, just NE of Calgary.

[boonie]

Went out today for a couple of hours to specifically look for one bucks antlers which were dropped last week. Got lucky and found both. They were about a 1/4 mile apart. I was extremely happy to find one and in a state of disbelief when I found the second. Will be tough to top these this year. Both sides go just a tad over 92 inches.

Just for curiosity sake did you run any numbers on that set of sheds?

[boonie]

First 2 pics are from this year. The next 3 are from the previous 3 years. First sheds I've found off this buck though. As u can see his right side was a little messed up for 2 years.
Giving the buck a 17 inch spread I get 201 6/8 gross 196 2/8 net non typical. 187 1/8 gross typical frame. I scored it on the conservative side.
Also I figured a buck like this needed a name and all I could come up with was " Mr. Incredible".

[Alberta Bigbore]

Hes going to be a freak next year, lol

[Snap Shot]

Hes a stud no doubt about it.

This has been my worst year ever shed hunting. Im a complete jinx.. Checked some unreal destroyed fields and hornless or im blind this year... Gonna head out again this weekend.

I know what I would do if I found a set of white tail sheds even close to 200"....be looking for a white tail cape!

[boonie]

Nice heavy 4 point Jameson!
I've thought of getting a cape for a few sets I have but don't have the money to do it right now. Maybe in a few years.

Never hunted for one, what's your excuse for shooting a fawn?

[Jameson340]

Let's try to NOT derail this thread you farmer

[Aussiehunter]

Nothing down south yet spent two hours riding around some great white tail habitat today seen about 30 deer few bucks no sheds just yet.

[bdub]

Was out walking the dogs this morning and found this one. I might go get a permit and then grab it in the future. Looks young but nice genetics.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Nice^^

[YoungBuck]

found number 3 today up by athabasca. I makes it hard when it snows almost every night.

[Stik'em]

So, I have only seen this buck once last season, and one of my buddies saw him once last season as well. I've only hunted this land for two seasons, we've never got him on camera, or found his sheds EVER!! Until now..I didn't have my phone with me so I took these in the garage when I got home. I counted 15 points over an inch, he had two drop tines but one was broken off and his left main beam drops at the tip, and his front right main is broken as well.

Stik'em

[dfrobert]

Cool !

[bdub]

holy moly nice one stickem

[thegunman]

Thats a gnarly stud!!!

[boonie]

Nice set!! Good luck finding him next year.

[dfrobert]

Finding more sheds than last year. There should be at least a few shooters next year! Deer are hitting the bales as usual. Havent walked any bedding areas yet, just feeding areas and game trails.

Of the 3 matched sets I've found this year 1st set had one antler lying on top of the other, the other set was 5 yards apart, the other set was 20 yards apart. Gotta love it when you have a little luck I guess. First shed found was January 4th. Some "cross-country" snowmobilers have been checking my spots too...still doing ok though.

http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv281/dfrobert/sheds136_zps7efb57d5.jpg

The set at top of pic from winter 2012. Set at bottom of pic from winter 2013. I believe its the same buck. What do you guys think? Glad I let him walk this past year, I'm hoping he is fairly impressive this coming season.
http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv281/dfrobert/sheds134_zpsaf4a0afa.jpg

This was my most successful 2 hour shed hunting walk yet!
http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv281/dfrobert/sheds13_zpse70947d7.jpg

[longshot270]

The middle deer head was a set of sheds I had mounted. It's always nice to find fresh ones. Would gross around 185 if I remember correctly, including inside spread. And if you like brow tines this deer is for you.

[HillTophunter]

Found my first match set of sheds out coyote hunting this morning!
http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o689/hilltophunter1/hunting/IMG_0024_zps88808a17.jpg

[boonie]

Got out a couple of times this weekend. Found 6, nothing big but did find my smallest matching set of the year.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Nice finds guys. Didnt make it out this weekend, Had no kids so had adult time. Looking forward to next weekend.

[bigshell]

Wow really nice sheds guys! Thanks for posting all the pics,gives me something to day dream about :)

[Byron]

Well it's finally march hopefully this thread will pick up a bit as the horns start falling more frequently. Between my brother and I we had a good early season with over 30 to hand already but looking forward to the "prime" time!!

Good luck and happy walking

[Alberta Bigbore]

Looks good. Ill be out again on sunday looking around.

[BeaverHunter]

Seen two deer run down the trail minutes before I started walking the trail. A buck still had one horn on his head. And its hard walking good way to sweet your bag off haha

[boonie]

Been out a few times the last few days and found these. The last one was run over by a tractor and had a point broken off.

[RACKER]

Great pics.All of them captured the moment.The one against the tree looks big.Keep up the hard work,its not easy busting trails in this snow.

[Aussiehunter]

Got out yetserday for a few hours, and was fortunate enough to find my first ever matching set, and a unique and cool WT shed.. Looking forward for this snow to melt and getting out some more.

[boonie]

Congrats on the matched set. We missed the last snowstorn where I'm at but there is still 2-3 feet of snow on the ground here. Can't wait until it is gone. Very tough going looking for antlers.

[boonie]

Pretty slow on this thread the last while. Got to be a few of you picking up a few horns. Come on guys, post some pics.
Here's a few from the last couple days.

[Crossfire]

Awesome pics boonie your doing great i love seeing those as they lay pics! How many are you at for the year? Im at 26 sheds so far 1 mulie and 25 whities haha nothing huge yet though, looking forward to the snow melting so i can get out and pound the trails! :sHa_shakeshout:

[kropsbone]

whent out this morning for a couple ours by the city where i have perm.someone was out before me didnt find anything yet,lots of trails to cover

WOW!! Those are some big sheds!!

[slopeshunter]

I saw a 4pt mulie rack the other day that would go an easy 180. But they weren't sheds, he was still wearing them. Saw him in the median of the road about 5 mins from home in the city here. Drove by him, he was just waiting for cars to pass so he could finish crossing the road. These urban deer sure know what they're doing.

Its funny I see the "locals" using the crosswalks all the time :) I dont know if its just the way the roads look to them or if they see the lines as a game trail or what, but 80-95% of the time I see em cross the road, they are using the cross walks lol

[Alberta Bigbore]

Off work early...headed out to check a trailcams in strathcona county and hopefully find some sheds while im walkin'. Love the new snowshoes.

Funny, this is the same general location that I saw the biggest typical 4 point that I've ever seen. Seems as long as they can avoid the cars, the genetics stay good. :lol:

[bush monkey]

7 so far. 4 last week, and 3 tonight. I can't wait to get on days off to keep on looking. My boy helped find every one.http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj555/bushmonkey1/sheds007_zps03480e1c.jpg

[Springer]

Ya'all are killing me with the sheds your finding , I am coming up on days off so i hope to get out myself. I did find a decent whitey skull and a small 4 point Muley but i only was out for a couple hours last week and just have a crappy cell phone pic.

[Kevwood]

Heading out now for a few hrs...will post if anything is found...

[winger7mm]

Just gotta finish my morning coffee, load up dakota and were off to go and get some sheds (hopefully) Pics after lunch if were successful :thinking-006:

[bush monkey]

Yup, days are getting longer! Finally some time to get out in the evenings. Just the thought of finding something monsterouse has got me jitterbugged! Something like What boonie, or stik'em have found would be alright. Maybe I'll get home with some daylight to burn yet!

[boonedocks]

I checked my trailcams on friday March 8 and the biggest buck that I have around ( whitetail) is still packing both his antlers! Its pretty tough going with all the snow but Ive found 7 so far this year.

[boonie]

Got out for only a couple hours this weekend and found one little spike. Hope to get out a little bit more this week. Sitting at 31 so far.

[bonedogg]

3 yrs of his left side, never once finding his right, kinda funny that way, newest one at the back of the pic

haha, who's making who jelouse! Ill take your last week in Mexico, and you can have this foot of snow we just got.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Awesome finds guys!. I was going to go sunday but with all the new snow in two days...probably not ......might get the snowshoes on and check trail cams instead. Fight find one doing that.

[HillTophunter]

haha, who's making who jelouse! Ill take your last week in Mexico, and you can have this foot of snow we just got.

true enough haha! one thing i will say though i have more fun lookin for deer sheds in a foot of snow the searching for seashells in the sand haha

[CenterFire]

I should have gone out last week when the weather was nice and we had 8-12 inches of snow melt off.. we had a wicked storm the past few days and we got about a foot of fresh snow, add in the 50KM winds and there are some pretty crazy drifts. I took my sibe out today but all we did end up playing (well, moreso him than me) since the snow's so darn deep. There's quite a few mulies that pass through our yard and like the little pockets of bush. Saw a few day or two old tracks that had been mostly snowed in, but that's about it. When I was up past my waist in snow and going no where fast, we turned around and went home.

There's a dugout around that plot of bush and there are usually Geese around so it should make for a nice spot to try my hand at Geese this fall.

[Mutter87]

I saw a decent sized Mule buck east of Mcgregor lake today, is it normal for the bucks to still have their head gear at this time of year?

Mulies in general hold their antlers longer then whitetail and some carry into April! That being said I find majority of whitetails are dropped by mid march an mulies usually by April!

[Red Bullets]

How'd you like to find this shed heaven?

[Bonecollecter166]

Shed hunting has been very slow, the waist deep or even deeper powder is not helping. I'm at 10 now, I found a decent mulie set today with no more than 3 inches of antler sticking out of the snow.

[icecap]

Lots of new snow gonna be slow for a couple weeks im guessin. My fav thread so here is a pic. 18 for the season, the top 5. The drop tine is 8 1/4 and the palmated one has 24" of mass. love the pics so if you havent posted yet get your pics up.:bad_boys_20: Gotta start getting some of how they lay.

[icecap]

[boonie]

Gonna be a couple weeks before I get out again also. 40 cm of snow last week, everything is buried now.

[deercamp]

[deercamp]

[mad mountain mike]

Posted these on another thread, found them in one day a little over a week ago.

[Junglefisher]

What do you do with them?
My missus wants me to find some to make a hat rack out of.

[Rem788]

Was movin bales and one caught my eye. Usually a lot more deer but havnt had the time

[TINES UP]

Has been a great year so far 38 deer sheds and one elk shed. Today was the best day my daughter and I both found 5, but of course she found the biggest one.

[YoungBuck]

Been a slow spring for us due to the snow conditions in the timber, so me and my dad went south and stuck to the south facing slopes. We managed to find 26 over the last 2 weekends. Fresh snow falls still kept getting in the way, heading to athabasca next weekend hopefully it is all gone by then.:scared:

[petey1326]

good to see everyone is having some luck. found my first one today and was my biggest to date

[whitetail Junkie]

Driving 100 km/hr down the gravel road out fishing the other day & spotted this ok mule shed just across the fence....about a 160" buck.

[BeaverHunter]

Out quading around looking for sheds With my cousin and found this old boy

[cgs01]

Do you need a permit or license to pick up sheds? What about skulls with antlers attached?

When (if?) we go camping, I thought I might do a search and see if I could find any,

Thanks.

Its legal to pick up sheds when ever, if it has skull plate attached you will need to gain a permit.

Ill be going out on the weekend to take a look around was out and about on saturday but still to much snow in my area, 3ft in some areas.

[Alberta Bigbore]

Nice sheds. I wish I had time lately to go looking. Busy busy

[YoungBuck]

Got out by athabasca this weekend but one of the land owners decided not to let us on this weekend which was a set back but we still did okay given the snow conditions up there. Found my first ever elk, it is nearly as small as they come. The elk in our area were taking their time to shed, a group of four on trail cam still had all their antlers on the 15th.

Threads been slow this year. We got out a couple times the last two weeks in the Athabasca/Tawatinaw area and found a few. Grass is coming fast so next weekend will be it for us this year.

[Crossfire]

Nice sheds! It's been a good season but the green grass is coming fast! Got out today for one of the last days of 2013 for a few hours and found sheds #93-#100. How has everyone else made out this year!

[Whiteysonly]

Did the final tally today for my dad and I. 38 WT, 25 muley, 4 moose and 3 elk. Not as good as last year for numbers but more sets and its been awhile since the elk shed in our area so overall not bad. Most were found north of edmonton with a few from the battle river area and the foot hills.

Shed hunting

[6.5swedeforelk]

Was picking sheds in a narrow 20yd wide coulee in early April. Heard a noise up the south slope, a deer pushing thru the heavy cherry-hazel brush. Then I realized that the noise was coming my way. The following " UFF UFF" removed any doubt! The large black bear came into the bottom clearing only 15-20 paces east of me and broadside. No armament of any kind but he wasn't threatening so I pulled out my new Samsung Galaxy & pushed this & that button to get it on. Then I couldn't find the camera button in the screen glare! I was quiet so as not to scare him away. As my attention went back to the bear I saw it was no longer a broadside view but a full frontal shot. He was lifting his head & sniffing and with his first slow step my way, I said the heck with the damn picture. I gave that same bellowing roar as when I caught my kids waterskipping my new trapping skidoo on the dugout! He did turn and go, but slowly. I called to the 2 youths near me to pull out, and all ended ok. ( I'm not afraid of bears, but sure do respect them)
Anyone else run into curious or hungry bears?

[bdub]

Found these while out hoofing around recently. Left them out there.

[-CLM-]

Wow! an Alberta bou shed, now that is rare! Awesome finds man!

[bdub]

Old mountain mule deer shed pretty good size, and a not bad elk from a recent trip.
