I know, I know. I add old sheds I find in the fall to my current years count. Fresh horn found in December goes to my next year count. Just how I roll.

It does seem early, that match set came from a heavily wooded area. This particular area has produced early sheds(December) I think mainly due to lack of nutrition. The December shed is an oddity. I normally don't find sheds where it came from till March, guessing it might be wounded and stressed.

Having a low nutrition area like that let's you start the shed thread every year!

The local buck in the back yard is still sporting both antlers saw him Monday morning at 5 am when the little dog chased him from the field

Evidently in parts of Ohio shed is the head and all.. driving to Toledo I saw 3 bucks..? the antlers were gone as well as the head.. I am guessing it was a buck and someone got an easy mount?? ..

Saw a dozen bucks yesterday, all were carrying both sides. Yet to see a half rack.

All the boys here are still carrying their head gear.

60 years old.....never found a shed. I couldn't find a shed if I saw it fall off. I don't know how people find them. I think my area they all fall off out in the picked fields....LOL.

I had a really nice buck that spent time on my family's property several years ago. I looked everywhere for his sheds (or so I thought) to no avail. The farmer that leased our ag fields found one in his tractor tire while planting the following spring. He removed it from his tire and gave it away to a relative without mentioning it to us until much later.

A buck we have been seeing on the town well field lost one of his this week. Nice 8 point.

 

[yetti462]

one fresh, one old today.

 

[mom45]

I have a few that I have found. Three are nice ones that I got before the squirrels started chewing on them. I have one that I found from a spike buck. That was pure luck!

Guy I work with said a friend of his found a few first week of the year. Our Big Boy and the little one still had their's last I saw them.
