Dawg's 2015 Shed Season

Well, we will see what happens today! I have entered some of my sheds in a shed contest at the Illinois Deer & Turkey Expo. There are a bunch of GREAT sheds there and they all are close in scores. We will see what happens! Here are my sheds that I have entered:



This one scored 83 6/8 by a Pope & Young Scorer!

 

Dawg u must be a big man. Them sheds look a lot bigger next to that bottle compared to when you hold them lol. nice job and good luck

 

Go get them Dawg! I bet you win something with that 83"er! That thing is a awesome shed!

 

Way to go buddy. Good to see you stacking em up.

 

ive been saying the same exact thing for years, just never posted it! i love his photos but i know that his shed are much larger than they appear if hes actually holding them in the photo.

 

He doesn't exactly take the "big fish" pictures with his sheds does he geoff? lol

 

That's pretty cool man, good luck with the contest at the expo.

 

good luck!

 

Well, first off I am 6' 2" 260 lbs! I would say all muscle but then my wife would say my mouth muscles don't count since I am a big joker and crap talker! LOL My sheds did NOT place at all. I was shocked with how many hammers showed up. 3rd place was 3 inchs larger than my shed then after that they were in the 90's. All the sheds that showed up were all dandies and glad to meet a few of the shedders! On a good note my pictures did very well! I took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in Wildlife, 3rd in People in the Outdoors, and 3rd in Scenic! Here are my pics:

 

That's awesome dawg, congrats on the pics winning.

 

congrats

 

Nice. You always do have awesome pics

 

I usually just read this section, but I must say - awesome job. Between your photography and shed hunting skills you have this girl jealous! Congrats!

 

Thank you all! Pink you have them too! I have been doing this since 1998 and the more I do it the more I like it better than hunting!

 

Well, went for a short walk after helping a buddies daughter move today and found another match set laying together. It was right off a bed next to a tree. Here they are:

 

Great stuff! I would like you to come and walk some ground with me. So you can teach me how to fins 3 sets in a 30 yard area!

 

You need to find their bedding area and that is where I find over half of my sheds!

 

I have found two sheds and a skull, all on a travel area, just outside the bedding area. Man you have some awesome bucks

 

Thanks rsf! I would be happy to hook up with you any time you want. You have a bunch of ground down there you can walk if you get permission. Find some of the NON HUNTING spots and then ask there. Here is a tip on asking on them spots, DO NOT SAY the word HUNT! Just ask with this question "Would you mind if I walk your property looking for deer antlers? I collect them. I will ONLY walk and not have any vehicle on your property." You might have to go into explaining that deer lose their antlers every year but it will be well worth it. This will tell you that everyone does not know that they drop every year. I had a lady that was working the Illinois Deer & Turkey Expo just this past weekend ask me when I was talking to another shed entrant "Why are these called Sheds?" I told her that deer lose their antlers every year and grow new. She had no idea. If you went to the expo sat or sun you would of seen some of my sheds.

 

I saw every shed there! It was a blast. I have my wife all jazzed up about it. She loves deer antlers! We have them all over the house. Thanks for the great advise, I will be using that soon as this snow melts!
