    According to some other resources and forums I check often.. a few fresh sheds have fallen.

    States like Montana.. Idaho.. Wisconsin.. Indiana.. and Ohio to name a few.

    Nothing yet from any of my fellow Illinois buds. But word from Justin is a few are out there.

    I found my earliest last season on December 21st.. within 1 hour of looking. So I know a few have fallen.. just need the snow to back off a little!:bash:

    Yep, they have been falling in NY for about 2 weeks now. I have seen a nice 120" 8 pointer behind my soon to be inlaws house during the fall, and two weeks ago he was seen with half a rack.

    Yep, a few have fallen around here as well. We're heading to Saskatchewan on Friday and am a little nervous to yank on an antler if I whack one!

    Same here Dan. If I get one here in Mn It will being handled very carefully.;)

    My brother saw a decent 8 point (130 Inch) a few weeks ago at about 50 yards. He then saw the same buck at 8 yards and passed him up 2 days later, antlers were gone from both sides.

    Checked the camera today. There was a half rack yearling. He cast half on Christmas eve, the other side was still attached as of yesterday.

    I've picked up 3 fresh this year, and know of others. However, I would say 90+% are still packing.

    Man, it makes me want to get out and do some walking but with a few weeks left to hunt I'm more worried about killing something WITH antlers first. :D
