massive sheds!!!!!!!
 

OMG:scared0015:

Got out yesterday before the snow and picked up a couple more, nothing big. Looks like any sheds that were on the ground will have to wait til the snow melts now.

ww, those are some wicked ass sheds!! If I recall, I saw a deer head at a taxidermists about 5 years ago that was a splittin image of that set of sheds.Was shot around Innisfree I believe. Any chance that set is from that neck of the woods?? Either way that set is the Holy Grail of deer sheds!!
Scooped another matched set yersterday.There was only 4" of antler sticking out of the snow,reached down to pick it up and heard it clank on the match that was buried beneath it. Deep snowz gonna make for tough finding.

NO, a ways from there. Here is another set that my cousin in Sask showed me when we went there this fall, this guy is a true hog as well, probably in the 220 range.

its a 7 inch spike in the pictures, and the box is a 50 pack of .22 shells,
thanks for posting it brownbear

ww, I always wondered where the big bucks drop their headgear!! I'm going to start looking in TAVERNS from now on!

Snow
 

Is anybody trying to find sheds in this deep snow?

Snow
 

Snow is over knee deep here. Even using snowshoes is tough in this powder. Giong to have to fire up the sled and go out this weekend but I imagine most horns that have dropped are buried in snow.

Nice sheds!

snow is over knee deep where i am to. went out on monday and it is was brutal. Snowshoes are of little help in snow like this.

Not I. I'll be waiting till spring.

Just had the sled out yesterday to check my "antler trap" 2 Green field bales on the edge bush/ hay field. Found 5 antlers in total, 150" pair. This is the second year I have done this and it works great. So far this year 7 antlers, 2 pairs.
Snow is knee deep but about 10' around the pales is packed along with trails leading to and from

Ya, the deep snow will make it tough to spot horns in the fields,but they will still stick out in other areas. Knowing where to look when the snowz too deep in the fields is the ticket to keep finding sheds when others are waiting for the snow to melt. Not me, i can't sit and wait that long. i will keep scooping,but in spots where the deer move once the snow gets too deep in the fields. I've run hidden antlers up into the skidoo tunnel when checking fields, so thats one way to find them,but a pain in the arse getting them unstuck. Up to 10 now,but the cold temps have kept me from getting out. This weekend should be good.
Will post pics of the first 170" set......stay tuned!
Good luck shedderz

Heh Crossfire,

If you really want to know about shed hunting contact Bently Coben at (306) 656-4903 ( Bently Coben's Wildlife productions ) Bently is known world wide as one of the experts in shed hunting, he has Americans come up yr.after yr. to hunt for sheds. I know that he finds tons of sheds at the Harris game preserve about 15 miles from his home in Tessier Sask. Gary Donald ( Big Buck) magazine also does lots of filming at Harris. I gave Bently my lab Gypsy back in the 80's ( lost 2 labs through divorces ) don't know who I miss more my ex's or my labs ( labs of course. ) Bently taught Gypsy how to hunt sheds, she was one of the best dogs I've ever had. I haven't talked to Bently in yrs. but he has a pretty lucrative business going on. The last time I saw Bent he had a garage full of sheds.... I beleive he was offered about $ 200 thousand for his collection but he said no ... I'm sure Bent would answer all of your questions, I beleive It would be worth the nickel. Just make sure to say from Brian In P.A. the goose hunter.... Islander that's the way to train them, nice video, I trained my last lab to hunt golf balls like that.

went out today for less than a hour. by the time i got back to the road i was bushed. im waitin till spring. this snow is to much. didnt find anything

Found a little four point yesterday. Got lucky and stepped on it.

sheds
 

I found a small 4 point wt shed yesterday Jan 22,I also got trailcam photos of him this morning still sporting the other side.Most deer in my area are still carrying their horns.

Still holding
 

Most are still hanging on around here also but a few have shed. Thought I would post pics of the 2 better bucks feeding at my place. Hopefully they drop them in the yard.

Another advantage with the trail Cam hey . When they show up and their missing the Bone you should be able to get out ASAP and pick those beauty Sheds up !
Great Post and very good quality photo's.

Shed hunt
 

Last years first day shed hunting with my pup Tucker and a couple buddies in early March. Hiked for about 5 hours, & God knows how many miles, but found some decent sheds and a couple skulls, mostly Mule, but any shed is a good find. Cant wait till the snow melts and get back out this year.

Got Lucky
 

Well the droptine buck dropped his antlers Sunday night. Got lucky and the left side was laying in the yard. Scores right around 80 inches. I have a pic of him with both on at 12:20am and at 12:40am he had dropped his left one. My next pic of him at 5:30am shows him without the right side. Going to go for a walk tomorrow and look for it. Pics to come.

I mentioned earlier that I would be waiting till spring to shed hunt but with todays warm weather and melting snow i decided to go have a look for some sheds. Well I didnt find anything and now i know why im not finding anything.:sign0176: I talked with a land owner who has a chunk of land by the ministik lake sanctuary which is where i usually go most of the time to shed hunt. I asked for permission to shed hunt on his land. He said yes. I thought great. then i asked if he had seen any good bucks or any sheds. He said he he hasnt seen a good buck for 10 years and he hunts the area. He went on to say the buck to doe ratio is way out of wack and there are way more does than bucks. He says he expects a 70% kill off this year. All the deer that come on his farm are all does and yearlings. Time to find a new place to shed hunt:confused:

Awesome! Those are great bucks, cant wait to see the pictures!

x 2 on that, great lookin deer.. hope ya find all the bone...
