    2011 Shed Season - On the board. (Horn Porn Pics Enclosed)

    Despite a solid blanket of snow, I decided to self-medicate this morning and cure my cabin fever with a little stroll around our hunting grounds.

    We're in a new area that clearly holds some big deer, but we're still on the low side of the learning curve, so I decided to take the opportunity to get out there and confirm my suspicions as far as the bedding areas go, and see if there are any heavy runs that I may have overlooked during my in-season scouting.

    My expectations were low, as I never have much luck snowhunting for sheds. The odds became even longer when I checked my trailcam, only to find three bucks with full headgear on my card.

    Whatev.

    I drove all the way out there to scout for sheds and look for travel patterns. So dammit, that's what I did. I stuffed the SD card back in the trail cam and just like that, 2011 shed season had officially begun.

    15 minutes later...

    Just like that, I went from zero to hero.

    Oh boy.


    I'm like a human shed magnet.


    After 3 minutes of Glamour Shots, it was time to dig 'em out....

    BOOM!


    A silent fist pump put the final stamp on the festivities, and I stuffed 'em in my pack.


    Right away, I knew who this was.

    ...so, I decided that since I was playing with house money, I'd just quit while I was ahead and roll on home and get out the tape measure.


    Drumroll please....




    With an 18" spread credit, he grossed 141".


    He's officially on the hit list for 2011.
