2022 Shed Hunting Thread

Nothing to brag about but I did find one.

Little yearling antler. Base isn’t any thicker than a nickel. Wish I could find a fresh one!

Found a few

Got out for a couple hours yesterday. Wife found the biggest of the year. I found a nice 3 pt from last yr that the squirrels found first. Found a base to a real nice one that was chewed almost gone too. Also found a really strange lookin 5 point. Looks like a baby arm. Saw quite a few bucks still holding and a piebald.

I can’t take credit for the find and the training was too easy to even take credit for that. But I did give him a ride.

That's a great one.

I pulled 5 trail cam cards yesterday. Had one shed buck, one half rack, everything else still carrying both sides. Found one dead head.

Nothing but a half a dead head in todays 2 miles. Hung it in a tree for someone else to find.

Someday someone is going to find that and wonder how a deer ran that stick through his eyeball and killed himself.

Found one that didn't make it today

Had this guy on camera right in front of my tree stand 1/2 hour after daylight the morning after my brother and I spent an hour stomping around looking for a doe I gave a haircut to the evening before. Didn’t sit there the next morning cause I figured we boogered that spot up with all our scent. 44 years hunting these things and still learning I guess

You found a baby arm. Baby arm.

Pictures yesterday say they're still holding.

Doing the math suggests its on time......1 inch per day over 4 months equals around 120.....which is close to typical for a mature deer in DE.

For those deadheads you guys recently found, do you think its winter kill or wounding loss?

The one I found was hit by a vehicle last fall and was under the snow and ice for months.

A lot of EHD here. Most of the ones I'm finding died in velvet.

 

[woodsdog2]

Glad to hear it wasn't wounding loss!!!!

 

[Fryguy]

My guess is wounding. I found 3 deadheads in the last couple years. Unfortunate but it happens. 1 was a monster.

 

[TreeCreep]

how are you New England fellas finding these consistently?
I have had no problem finding sheds in NJ/ PA but rarely find any since moving to NH with the lower density.
I scout a healthy amount in the off season

Winter kills
