    A little fresh air will do you wonders! Plus if you find a monster shed, I bet you wont feel sick any more! Good luck tomorrow!

    last year i found about 35-40 sheds but they were quite easy to find as the deer were herded up big time in certain spots. this year, they are scattered and no big pockets.
    will be tougher for sure finding them.

    I didn't find any last spring. Didn't really look either.

    I haven't seen many bucks down off the mountain. If they shed up on the mountain, finding the antlers will be hard.

    I got out for 3 hours on Friday and found no sheds yet, still a little early for me. I did find 3 dead deer, 2 doe and 1 buck. Some one beat me to it and cut the head off!

    I didn't get out much last year. I only found 3 or 4. I hope to get out more this year. I checked my trail cameras this weekend and there were only a couple bucks even visiting, so I'm guessing I'll need to go hit some other places.

    Hey Skywalker, Try some public land. I had about 2000 acres of private land to shed hunt by my self last year. But I bet I found 70% or more of the sheds on public land. I find its very rewarding to find sheds on public, after walking around and seeing boot tracks every where and still find sheds.

    I plan on giving it a try. I've found a couple on the conservation area near me. There's a couple further north that gets way less traffic, so in going to shed hunt/scout then.

    Well, I found a Star Wars Light Saber and of course I started to make the noise and swing it around like a kid. After I did a spin with it I tossed it to the ground because I just walked by a GIANT buck that was on the opposite side of a downfall tree that I walked on the other side. I then found a second buck. Here are the pictures of the day!

    I jumped some bucks that still had both sides. It is still early but there are a few on the ground already. I have a match set and two dead heads now.

    Sucks finding them that way, looked like some decent bucks.

    I'll go back to my own team now, just had to creep on what dawg has been finding ha. He always seems to find some impressive stuff.
