[gympvox]

u can train dogs to find and retrieve antlers i read about it in field and stream .... its my next project for my chocolate lab

[hunter0055]

@gympvox Yes you can. I have a black lab that finds sheds evey year. You can see him in some of my other shed hunting vids.

[mikeswan1970]

It would help if you said what type of animal the sheds are from - they look like Mulie, but they are very dark...

[hunter0055]

@mikeswan1970 They are muledeer you can tell by the way the antlers fork

[champlaya7]

When you think you find most of the sheds?

[hunter0055]

February and March

Look it up on line you should be able to find everything you need there. Or just go to your local hunting store and ask about bows.

ive been shed hunting in wisconsin for over 4 years and ive only found 2 antlers. i think im competing with a bunch of other shed hunters but it is frustrating now but i keep trying. wisconsin blows. i hear montana has GREAT shed hunting places.

[hunter0055]

From what I know montana is a good place to for sheds.

i'm from indiana so the're all whitetails! ya ive prolly had my best season so far, but i like how you do your videos! i was wondering how much time u spend looking for sheds? and how many you find in a season? the only problem looking for horns around my area is that i live real close to illinois forest preserves so there's always other guys out walking the same area your walking so id say im pretty lucky to have found that many!

[hunter0055]

I spend as much time as I can 3 or 4 days a week and usually end up hiking around for a good 6 hours a day. This year has been really good numders wise, I usually find 15 to 20 on a average year but the last few years it seems to be getting better and better.

[jta2148]

i've been going since jan 16th and i have so far found 13 horns so far! the biggest was a 156 inch set of a 10 pointer, and some other big ones that scored between 135 and 150..

[hunter0055]

Cool!! sounds like your having a good season, are they whitetail or muledeer sheds.

[flashgordon420]

I live in iowa on the illinois borderline...i know there is deer where im checking cause when we ran past a field we seen bout 3 in 1 area n 4 in a area on the other side n fresh droppings also...me n some of my buddys are going here about noonish this sat morning hoping to find some...is it common to look under pine n oak trees for antlers?And do they also sometimes stick there antlers in the dirt??Also is it wise to walk the same trails we did today or wait a day or two n look on trail again?

[hunter0055]

Looking under trees is a good idea any were the deer can bed down out of the wind and snow is a good spot to look.I would say most bucks have already dropped their antlers so I would walk different trails.Antlers can fall off and stick up in the snow or dirt but I dont think they do it on purpose.

[flashgordon420]

Me n a pal went he got his first ever set by a fence line 1 was out there n the other was a footstep from it but i still have yet to find mine we got woods all around my house n he just told me bout deer shedding n i like to hike but i dunno the time of the yr to go.I hear end of march but i dunno

[hunter0055]

Most people start looking around the first of February.

[ribo451]

I went.

Mule deer seen: 29

Whitetails seen: 25

Elk seen: 9

Sheds found: 0

All the animals I saw were female except two small whitetail bucks.

[hunter0055]

yea that seems to be the way it usually goes, at least you seen lots of animals.

[ribo451]

I planned to go look for sheds tomorrow and what do you know. It snowed 4 inches last night and is currently still snowing. I am going anyway so maybe I will have a video clip to post on here. F&%king snow.

[hunter0055]

Doesn't that suck happened to me the other day.

Good luck!

[windrivercountrykid]

Found another fresh mulie shed today--not as big as yours though!

[hunter0055]

cool!! I found a 4 point muley shed today to, it's a year old thoe medium size and has about a 4 inch brow tine.

[windrivercountrykid]

I found 2 sheds today---Fresh----sheds in that much snow the bucks must be pushed up---good finds and nice video

[outdoorinsights]

I can't tell you how nice it is to see someone sharing their shed hunting experiences on here. Finding a shed is almost as good as sticking an arrow in a big buck! Thanks again for sharing.
