Down here in MS, About 98% of them still have their head gear on.  Gotta wait a few more weeks.  I usually find 15-20 per year while turkey hunting, but see bucks every year during march that still have horns as well.

It's hard to find spikes and forks here in North Louisiana... that's all that is pretty much left.  I've found 3 in my whole life

I've got 5 so far, but I'm pretty sure that there are a bunch more buried under the snow yet.  My goal to to find 15.  Hopefully,  I can stumble on a couple of monsters like in some of the previous posts...:anim_25:.

 If you find horns now, where i live they're still on the deers head. Season closes tuesday then the temp is going to be in the 70s so the birds will be singing next week. Gotta love it! Except for the old lady

Post by: flintlock on February 12, 2011, 03:28:05 PM
Just found the one this am.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/flintlock/wess_Shed.jpg)

4pt shed.  I sure thought I'd find a good one today, but it wasn't the case.  I did have a covey of quail skeer the be-jeebers out of me as I was busting through some briars.   :you_rock:

I also stumbled up on this antique Nehi glass bottle - has Mar 3, 25 (I guess it is 1925?) on the bottom.  It was at the edge of a small family grave yard where the brush/trees has taken over.  The headstones I could read were late 1800-1915.  Pretty cool stuff

Good luck

Found two more yesterday while out turkey scouting which makes 31 for the season.  Here are a few of my better ones:

This massive 68 4/8 typical  shed (70 1/8 non-typical ) is my best for the year...

(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/WNYBowhunter/Sheds%20and%20Deads/IMG_0521.jpg)

The neighbor kid has the other half which I'm still trying to acquire from him.  Together they would gross around 151...

Nice 5-pt...

(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/WNYBowhunter/Sheds%20and%20Deads/IMG_0492.jpg)

Another neighbor kid beat me to one field and picked up this 155" set...

(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/WNYBowhunter/Sheds%20and%20Deads/IMG_0494.jpg)

Few more...

Great find guys!! There are some bruisers posted!!

Found one half yesterday while bush hogging. A typical 2 year old 8 pt. Shed is still in the tractor.

I'll see about getting it out and snapping a pic.

Hey just wondering if any of you guys use dogs to help you find sheds? I have been working with my Golden Retriever and she has been getting pretty good about finding them when I hide them in the field behind my house. However I got busy these past couples months and have only got to take her out looking one time. Needless to say we didnt find a one. So.....does anyone else use a dog?

You guys are finding WAY more matched sets than I do.  I have only found two matched sets ever.  One of them was in MS this year.  I'll have to take some pics and get on here.
