thats a sweat shed.. my dream is to find a palmated one like that, awesome.

Alberta Bigbore · #**215** 03-27-2011, 09:13 PM

I tried again this afternoon... thought i seen a pair for sure poking through the snow with the binos from a elevated position ... the 300 meter walk through the snow resulted in epic fail. heh. Just a dead small tree branch

Springer · #**216** 03-27-2011, 09:47 PM

I got today for a bit. The snow is still very deep and i followed some good trails.The Best news is i got permission in a whole bunch of extra River valley property and the Farmer welcomed me with open arms because he has lost to many tires on his tractor due to too many deer around his bales..

Alberta Bigbore: Dont give up man i have had about 15 adventures like that this year so far i wish i would of started earlier than 2nd week of feb..

Alberta Bigbore · #**218** 03-28-2011, 12:22 PM

lol... Not giving up... Gonna try every weekend that I can as this farm is only a 25 minute drive from where I live. Way better than staying indoors

whitetailman · #**226** 03-30-2011, 12:55 PM

1 match set and a single so far today

TheLegend · #**227** 03-30-2011, 05:41 PM

I cant find a thing!!!! I do my shed hunting in the Ministik lake bird sanctuary. Has any one had success here at all?

Springer · #**228** 03-30-2011, 10:01 PM

OK these are from 3 weeks ago ,since i have not been out for awhile and the Snow is still Very Deep , but a pic is pic , right ?

Heres a fella that likes to get to the antler before we do for a chewy snack.

Then off course is the business end.......

It was a slow & Foggy morning but mid-day we each found one

Aarons was an ancient Moss covered 4 point whitey . It was beside a Spring and froze deep in the ground. A little leatherman work and he freed it. We were standing talking and he says look a Shed !!

I guess something i learned to bring along was a big wood chisel & my leatherman in case you encounter some frozen ones like Sean did earlier..The idea of salt was also a great idea in case you find one frozen in the water..I guess you could always GPS it.

Heres the final product...will look cool on a habitat base.

Alberta Bigbore · #**229** 03-30-2011, 10:08 PM

always a neat experience to run into a porcupine !!

Lone_Wolf · #**230** 03-31-2011, 11:10 PM

Decided to go today. Bad idea. Snow was up to my knees in most places, up to my crotch in others. An hour of trudging through that finding nothing I said screw this. Since I know I will be the only one shed hunting in this field I'll just leave it for a while and let the snow melt.

One thing I discovered while out slogging through the field is the sound of the snow setting. Sounds like a gun shot going off. Scared the crap out of me everytime I heard it.

buckhunter66 · #**231** 04-01-2011, 02:02 AM

going out saturday with my cousin to are best spot, hope to find!

The Bit Runner. · #**232** 04-01-2011, 08:01 AM

you couldnt even concider tring to go find sheds yet as there is well over 2 feet of snow in the bush yet:mad

boonedocks · #**233** 04-02-2011, 09:13 AM

I will probably regret this but "you never know unless you go".I know of a field thats getting hit hard but Ive been to lazy to walk a mile through knee deep snow. Here goes nothing.Report back tommorow.Good luck guys(and girls).

Went out for a few hours looking for sheds. The snow was any where's from ankle to waist deep. I did manage to find these two sets. The one set I found them feet apart.
