Starting off good dawg! I'm out as we speak in north central Illinois, seen two smaller bucks, both still carrying...hoping to find a couple early ones like you've done!
That shed I found is off of him! I have his match set from two years ago and did not find his sheds this past season. Now I need the other side.
Yesterdays walk ended with some great pictures and a set of chewed up tennis shoes. LOL Here is the days pictures!
Wow great photos and a great find bud...You probably wish you would have seen some of those bucks this year when hunting huh...lol
Went for a short walk yesterday after work and I struck pay dirt and matched up my other shed. Here is the set with the same deers set from 2011! Also a picture of the buck himself again. Now the bad side to this story is the pictures that I took for ATL are not saved on my memory card for some reason. I did take one with my iphone.
Well, work has been a little stressful the past week so I went out for another walk to ease the stress on 1-31-13. We have had a bad assault on a friend of mine and he is an officer at the prison. I pray for his recovery and get him back to work soon. Here is a good stress reliever just like the two sheds yesterday 1-30-13. My 2013 finds as of right now with many more to come I hope.
Ok here is the history story that I have with my wide fella! In 2011 I was walking looking for any sheds that I could find and I stumbled on a very nice right side antler. It had some snow on it and was laying tines up. It had 6 total points and was a very nice one in my book. I then looked really hard for the other side for a week with no luck! I then ended up finding the match almost a month later. Then in 2012 I ended up seeing this fella and got some great pictures of him. I never did find his sheds that year. Then this year rolls around. I went out early to see if I can get pictures of some deer with antlers. While getting ready to sit one day I stumbled on the left side of the wide fella and it was early! Once again I searched all over for it with no luck. I then found the match about 500 yards from where I found the first one and 20 days later. With two full sets from this buck it would be really cool to add him to my wall of fame with the sheds. We will have to see if we could cross paths. Here are the pictures of him and his sheds.
2-4-13's walk ended up with two shed and finally a photo that turned out to be one of my favorites of all time. Now for the photos that are now my favorites! I have never got a good owl picture until NOW!
It was funny yesterday 2-6-13! I went for a walk and found two more sheds, walked in on two dogs eating a dead doe, and the funny part, the guy who trespasses on the property that was told to stay off was parked by my truck and was filming me with his phone then stated "Have a nice day!" What he is going to prove I dont know but it was funny! He is the same one that tried to trick us into walking on his property to get a shed that was in front of his trail cam if you all remember from last year. I guess he is still salty that we got him served with a letter to stay off the property or he will be charged with trespassing. LOL Here is pictures from today!
Check out these two videos! Here is a buck that I thought shed his one side but I guess I was wrong! http://s634.beta.photobucket.com/user/dawg007/media/Trail Camera Videos/377_zps078bae4c.mp4.html http://s634.beta.photobucket.com/user/dawg007/media/Trail Camera Videos/373_zps775e5644.mp4.html
Yesterday I worked 16 hours and had another double shirt 8 hours later. We had a nice rain again so I went for a 2 hour walk before I went to bed. I ended up getting these pictures and one more Dink! It is a week of Dinks for me but a shed is a blessing to me no matter what size. I like them all! I have now got a some what closer look at the big fellas antlers. I now really like the left side more due to the little non typical point off the bottom of the beam. I also hope to get better pictures before he sheds too I hope. I am heading out in the morning in hopes to get some great pics of him shedding them off in front of my eyes. Oh crap now I am dreaming! LOL Hope to get them soon. I do have other competition that knows he is in that area.
I went out in the rain today and ended up with some great sights of a few big boys with full racks. I also found a broken off tine and one shed. It was raining really good so I did not take out the camera for much!
