I know most of us still have plenty of snow on the ground but with warmer weather moving in next week I was wondering if anyone's found any sheds yet?

Was told today that last night a hunter watched a buck bend down into a "shed trough" and when he raised his head both antlers were gone, so he went and got them later. The bucks I have seen on my property are still carrying headgear.


Yep

I would think it's still a little early, I haven't seen any with missing antlers yet. But some start dropping way before others.
I always suck at finding sheds.

Got several half racks on some of my properties. A little early but its is definitely a possibility.

due to the distance between the place I live and the location that I am allowed to hunt, I am often too late. And I don't have time to walk the woods as much as I would like to..

I have a trail cam pick of a small buck already shed....he looks worn out and thin....maybe that is what led to him dropping already......also got a pic of a buck breeding a Doe on Dec. 25th.....I took my cams in today and am done for the year...I'll start chainsawing/hinge cutting more trees shortly and taking Stands down.......we have little to no snow up here....who'd a thunk that by Jan. 5th southern Indiana would have more snow that we do up here along the big lake ?? I'll start shed hunting 'very shortly.....some of my best finds have been in early Feb....I have some beaver trapping to do first...
