A quick walk and I came across this nice one. He'll be a stud next year. Found in Northern Illinois. I saw one that was still holding, a small fork horn.

Chill fast Freddie. Pretty opinionated for a new guy...or are you? They're just having a little fun.
From: RutnStrut

Fast Freddie. Perhaps you should get to know the guys here before you start throwing insults. But like was mentioned, maybe you do know them.

It's deer sheds.....it's not that serious. Jokes are fun and hunting for sheds are fun....why not do both.

Fast Freddie, I think you lost allot of respect right off the get go with the "When to start bear bait" thread with your written insult "75% are unemployed and will bait for beer or gas".

Don't feel bad FF....they did the same thing when I started a shed thread last year. It's just dumb humor (honestly didn't think it was funny either) take some comments with a grain a salt. Most guys on here are great and alot of knowledge!
I just went for a 5 mile search on Thursday but didn't find any. I won't be deterred, hope to walk at least 60 miles this year looking for them. I will post when/if I find some!

Just remember this for the fall rut reports guys. If anyone tells us the road to camp was bumpy.... somebody is gonna get pretty butthurt about it
From: RutnStrut
26-Feb-18
Here's the deal FF. In one of your first posts on this forum you were judging and insulting people. The guys on this thread were just joking around, it was good natured. If you are of the sort that gets offended by everything. This may not be the forum for you.

Walked our property yesterday and didn't find any sheds, did find a dead head.
From: Tweed
26-Feb-18
Any clue as to cause of death?
From: Strapped
26-Feb-18
Tweed, the remains were pretty much picked through and scattered. No road real close and I didn't notice anything else to hint the cause of death.

Here is my shed and dog training story,,,,,, I had a springer named Rocky, who I thought I trained well for finding sheds (terrific bird dog).... anyway day after day, no sheds, and one day, he comes back to the house with one shed..... I make a big fuss over him, and give him a treat, he is so proud..............
Neighbor drives by, and yells, "did rocky get back home"?,,,,,,, he came running into my barn, for his daily cookie, but this time, he went over to my shed pile, and took one back with him,,,,,,
he never did find a wild shed in his life
From: RutnStrut

PSEuser, that is a great find. I hope to have a new lab in the next year or so to train for sheds.
Looks like we may have chased the troll back under the bridge. I haven't seen sign of him since we were all so "mean".

Rut- Trapper has an amazing black lab that's due to give birth tomorrow. You may want to check if he has some not spoken for yet.
From: Jeff in MN

I found this one yesterday. What do you think this buck will be next year, maybe a big 10 pointer like the one in Albino's picture above? ;-) Figured I had to post the pic because I am currently in 4th place of those posted. Kidding aside, in each of the previous two years I found one side of a shed within about 20 yards of where this one was. Believe it or not, those two were even bigger than this one.
From: Grunter

Been doing alot of searching. Mostly on public and let me tell you, it is tough. I've been where not many people would walk. Still haven't found one on public.
This was on private and my 1st one of the year finally! It was on my 41st mile. It's been kinda disappointing considering how much area I've covered. I've been in some good areas too. It is from last year and was kinda pressed into the ground. Lucky to even see it
From: awh302

Another one from Northern Illinois. I'll think I have one more walk left in me, maybe tomorrow.

Sure, I had to shake the bushes and now I am in 6th place. Come on, someone please post a smaller one so I don't end up in last place through April.
By the way, that Mt Dew can is one of those new 2 quart cans. You may not have seen them in stores yet. Besides, anyone can find monster buck sheds, they are easy to spot. Finding ones like mine take real skill.
Rut, I am serious. That remark must have been pointed at other posters.

This one is no joke, found a few years ago but worth sharing here to make Jeff feel better. Thought it was a mushroom at first because it was upside down when I found it. My personal smallest ever.
Anyone found any smaller than this?
From: Jeff in MN
19-Mar-18
Elk, thank you for having a shed smaller than mine even if it does not officially qualify for this years finds. I feel way better. I doubt anyone could ever find a smaller one than yours.
From: Grunter

Elk- that is awesome! That's more rare than a giant one. That might be my favorite shed I've seen yet

Elk, that is a fantastic find. I have looked for a nubbin shed for 40 years & never found one. I figured they have to lose them but the squirrels must be chewing them off when the deer is sleeping. I did find one side of a spike once & that one I felt something under my foot & I was standing on it. I have one side of fork horn that was about as high as his ears on my desk. He used to turn up under just about every tree I sat in that year. We were almost on a first name basis. I have found 6 this year but can't walk like I used to. 5 were small. I always try to take an as is pic now that the cell phones have good cameras. I'll post a pic of one I found where the freeze & thaw was running. It was almost under water & froze in. I wasn't leaving without it. They are like magic at any size.

Trapper just got back from central Iowa,,,, this is an area, it takes less than 3 years to draw, if you saw what we found for sheds, you would fall over,,,,, I can just imagine what your dogs would do, down there.....................
I need to learn how to post pics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, one thing for sure, did not expect all the snow last Saturday, got buried,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Rut, seeing that Northbound threw a plug in for me. May 3rd pickup."
I would love to, but can't now. Too much going on for a puppy and I will not just crate them like I see some people do. I will be ready at this time next year, so if you want to go ahead and put my order in;)

Not how you like to find them. Found it about an hour ago. Bright side, I do have a new set of rattling horns now. This buck had a magnum body. Such a waste.

Drop, What is the law regards collecting that buck?
From: Drop Tine

Being this one still has hair on it I need a tag to collect the horns and the warden is stopping by tonight. If it was a bare skull it sounds like you can just pick them up like a shed and no tag required.

Cause of death?

I believe it was hit by a auto and made its way onto the land. Skull plate was broke on one side.

Salvage tag cost me $11.00 for the horns.

Droptine, he is just taking a nap. Seriously though, that is a bummer.
From: Drop Tine

MF I’m not sure, He showed me the chart and I think it was 10.52 for the tag and with tax it was 11.00 even.
