*****Team 3 "Bone and Pickit". *****

I just went on one of those trail following adventures yesterday. All I did was see deer that still had their antlers on.

 

Yeah, some of our little doinkers have dropped their antlers but most of the bigger ones are still carrying.

 

Have you tried changing team name yet? I see bloodcrick can help if it isn't working for you.

 

Slacking off on my duties already...this ain't good.
No I hadn't changed it yet. I just tried to change it and it didn't change so I posted in Cricks thread.

 

Haha sounds good!

 

Checking a cam tonight on my way home...hope to have pics of a couple nice bucks either without antlers or with only one side so we shall see

 

Post up the pics if you got the goods!!

 

All I got was a small six and some spikes still holding both sides...found out one of the big boys was hit with a car during hunting season. Not sure why they didn't feel the need to tell me that sooner but supposedly there is still another nice one out there.

 

Found one today.

 

Keep it up guys! Feel like I'm slacking. I'll be out next weekend for sure.

 

You aren't slacking, I haven't found 1 yet! Plan on going out tomorrow but we still have snow covered ground.

 

Oh and nice find foodplot19 keep it up!

 

Nice find!

I've been on the lookout when I go around tending feeders and coon traps (<yes season is over here so not running them now). Trail cams are showing them just now beginning to drop some antler so I'm not getting too serious about walking around a lot yet.

 

Thanks guys!
The one I found today was the only side he had when I seen him Wednesday.

 

That is a great shed! Have you put a tape on it yet?

 

Went out today and took the family. Found a ton of rubs but no sheds, still quite a bit of snow on the ground so.....we had a snowball fight!

 

I pulled cards today and it looks like a good portion of the bucks have shed in the last couple of days. I didn't find any sheds today on the way around the route but I did find a couple of dead deer that I'm guessing are coyote kills. They were back a ways from any roads so I don't think they were spotlighted.

Edit*
After reviewing old trail cam pics, I'm afraid one of the deer I found dead today was the buck I named 'Patches' because of a double throat patch. He disappeared after Nov 15th from all the cameras, I assumed maybe someone shot him but if the dead one is him then he made it until recently because the one I found had shed one side of his rack. The cape was pretty much decimated so I wasn't able to identify him from the double throat patches. All I had to guess by is he had a busted G3 on his right side and that's the antler that is still attached to this dead deer...also with a broken G3. Fricken bummer...I always wanted a double throat patch buck and have lost out on two now. Probably never see another one.

 

No I haven't. It was just a three point side. I'm saying that shed is in the 40" ballpark though.

 

Found number 4 today, a hanger/stander. Also found a deadhead missing one side.

 

That's pretty cool!

Walked for an hour at lunch today with no luck. I'm hitting it hard this weekend; I'm having withdrawls!
