A successful shed hunt at my farm today surprised me. Still have more ground to cover. This is a waterfall below my cabin.

Nice ones! In all my years of tramping bird covers I can count the number of sheds I've found on 1/2 of one hand, and none as nice that entire skull for sure! My bro-in-law did find one once by backing over it and ruining a tire.

Beautiful dogs. Do they help find the antlers? I knew a few Labs that were very good at it. Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's like being there!

No, didnt have dogs with me. Was going to take one and hopefully run into some woodcock, but hard to keep track of dogs and scan ground for sheds at the same time. Was looking for the sheds of some much bigger deer that frequent the farm. Ive always been fairly successful shed hunting.

Good job Harold. I went down to the farm this afternoon and took an hour and 45 minute walk looking for sheds, came back with a big fat zero. Maybe at the Southern you can give me a free eye exam, something's outta whack

Not hardly Harry. We took two deer off of my property this year and rarely take any real numbers. Six would be a big year when I get a little antsy and tip over a few extra skinheads with the bow in the late season.

Well found the second half of the big 12 pt with split brow tines. It was laying in the yard at the log cabin when I went out to cut grass today.

I got real lucky today--found so many I had to go back to the truck to get rid of them.
