    Walked another 3 miles in a new spot I thought for sure I would find something and nada. Saw a huge buck carrying one side here about a week ago. I’ll be back this weekend

    It took two years but I finally matched up a funky shed from 2018. Sad part is, it was only 20 or 30 yards from the first one, just in some thick junk that I never looked in. Also found an old chewed up one.

    Well SD was crap this year.

    650 miles driven, 11.3 miles walked and zero sheds. Friday night it snowed 5 inches so we didn't even walk Saturday. Was supposed to be 1 inch.

    Hopefully can get out at home a couple more times yet.

    Well that would suck!.
    I went for maybe 4 miles today and only found a matching pair of dinks.
    Buddy found a smoking fresh wolf kill. Figgers he bumped them off.

    Finally found one today. Haven't really looked to much. Discouraging part was i circled back to about where I started and found this shed had I looked 10 steps to my left when crossed creek ha. Oh well. Got some pics of this deer and could be a nice one if sticks around. Critters got little bit of it

    Too many to count. Lots of them ancient.

    Got home a little before dark last night and took a short walk through my soybeans with the dogs. After about 5 minutes I found a nice 4 point shed. I'll probably go looking a couple more times now that the snow is almost gone.

    With the amount of deer you said you are seeing in your plot, I bet you got a few more in there!

    Yeah there should be a few more around. Now is the time to look as the trails leading to the plot are still visable. The trails looked like spokes on a wheel.

    Here is a pic of the one I found.
