I used to have a honey hole that had no less than 50 bucks in it. People would feed the deer and they were all over it. Also because of that I didnt find much i found out much like a stock portfolio shed ground needs to be diverse. Have a crap load of spots to walk. That way if one doesnt pan out you have a fall back plan. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Yep, my best spot two years ago isn't worth crap so far this year. I found treestands (illegal) and cameras and so I think they screwed it all up
Ive never found treestands but i know one guy got caught with 3 deer in his truck and was dragging a fourth out when the dnr showed up. It was to easy from all the people that feed deer there you could stab them to death if you were a scum bag that to me isnt hunting. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Walked a new spot tonight thought for sure it would be good, i think some guys drove their truck through the field and picked them all up you could see his tired tracks zig zaging everywhere. I dont how he got back there. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Just got permission to walk/drive a 150 acre alfalfa fields and since a lot of mine came from fields or bordering woods this might get me a few more hoping its not to late. I know the farmer did find a couple as he told me in a text tonight Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Posted this the other day but I don't see it so I will try again. Found two old ones and a huge 5 pt this weekend. Looks like he was injured which is why he grew the one funky side.
#40 - tied my personal best for a year so hopefully I can pull a couple more. Also found a nice deadhead that I thought was going to be an awesome shed and ATL pic but oh well. You can see a homeless guy's camp in the pic with me holding the shed up. It's been there for at least two years and the deer are still all over that ridge.
Good work shed, congrats on matching your best year. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Number 41. Was hoping to break my record with a whopper but I'll take it. This may be an old shed to a buck my brother shot this year but I'll have to wait until he gets it back from the taxidermist to get a better look.
Burning off the hay meadow uncovered a couple. 15 for the year Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums

I'm starting to find fresh ones every day lately. Getting tough though, I know they'll be a bunch I missed next year. #45 at a fence crossing. I was standing trying to pick a path and looked down and there it was.
Saw a nice buck yesterday after work with about 6inch or better bases about 1 inch out of his head in velvet. He was a tank of a deer wish i could hunt there. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Well, I am sorry all! I am at ZERO and will not be finding a shed this year. I can not believe it and it is almost pushing me to seek mental health counseling! I have NOT had a year of no sheds in a very very long time. I think that it goes all the way back to 1997 if I am correct!
Sorry to hear that Dawg. Hopefully things will pick up before next year and you can get back in the game!
