    I'm heading out in little over a hour to shed hunt a property. I haven't been on it in over 8 years. Got word of a monster buck living on the property this year. One guy has was said to have a bunch of trail cam pics and video from his yard. Possibly was seen within last 2 weeks with its rack still on. Very minimal use public property. Got permission from a customer of mine to access it from his property. Let see if I can find those sheds!

    Deer are so stressed here now and can't get myself to go out and disturb them.
    Plus, nut deep snow.
    I'll be awhile.

    No big sheds found. Did find some huge tracks moving through out the property. Ended up picking up 3 sheds. 2 old and 1 fresh. And found 2 dead small bucks. 20230319_143214.jpg

    Went out again today. No sheds again. Just one deadhead. Not bad for a 17" spread on a 5 pt! 20230322_115520.jpg

    One more old chewed up shed. About 16" long, even though it doesn't look it in the pic. Also found 2 dead bucks with there heads taken. I was to slow! First time on this property this year. Seems to be picked over really good. Still had a bunch of does on it though. 20230324_151623.jpg

    I finally made it to Ohio, just hit one public spot where I primary hunt. Found a good one and a pile of sign, looking forward to next year. I only had 3 hrs to walk. That will be the last shed trip of the year, I’ll still be looking when Turkey hunting and morels.

    I'm likely done for the year unless I happen across one at work. 39.4 miles walked this year.
