    Well, my daughter and I went to look for some bucks before she had to go to her dance practice! We were watching deer and then I noticed one was a buck with no antlers. I was shocked to see this due to it being a little early. I then told her that we had to go so I started to pull away when I thought I saw an antler. I stopped and then backed up and grabbed my bino's. Not only was there one there but just behind it was the second one. It was a match set and I also have pictures of the buck from early December!

    It is about 2 miles from where I hunt! Let alone these where spotted from my truck and the road is a some what busy road. No one else saw them that is what is shocking.

    I still think it is a little early yet but I have seen a few bucks with NO head gear at all already. Maybe the weather messed up shed season just like it did my hunting season. :rant:

    Great Sheds man. Don't know if I'd be complaining of a slow season after finding them.
