Anyone been out yet? I ventured out for the first time this afternoon. Due to some back troubles I'm having it was mainly riding around field edges on the 4-wheeler, but I did get off and walk some trails and it felt good to be in the woods again. Only found 1 today and it was on the edge of a picked bean field. I saw the tines sticking up from about 40 yards away and got excited, but it wasn't much. Not even "technically" a shed as it looks like it was broke off. Looks as if a coyote had "marked" it too.   |

The, uh, 'markings' was the first thing I noticed. Kind of interesting that a coyote crapped right on the antler like that.

Started thinkin about the sheds myself. Since the winter has been so mild, I'm wondering if they might not start falling until a little later. Looks like that yote might have squated down there, felt that tine in his fanny and panicked  |

Went back this afternoon and found another one on the edge of the same field. Looks like it's been there a while so I'm sure I just missed it the other day. Just about everything above the grass had been chewed off.  I thought it looked familiar and I was right; Chase has a bunch of pics of this buck from last summer. Should be a good one next year!  |

What? That one wasn't good enough for a coyote to dump on it?

I found these two sheds last week when i was out checking my cameras. The one would have had an extra tine next to his g2 but it got broken off.   |

I found these two sheds last week when i was out checking my cameras. Nice finds!  I'm gonna try to get out again this week. A buddy at work seen a monster buck off I-70 last night that still had both sides, so I think it still might be a little early. |

Anyone see the article in the most recent Outdoor Life about turning sheds into money? Some nice ones can go for a couple hundred bucks.

Anyone see the article in the most recent Outdoor Life about turning sheds into money? Some nice ones can go for a couple hundred bucks. I let our subscription to OL expire, so I missed the article. After a quick eBay search of completed auctions for sheds though, I can tell you what I'm gonna be doing tomorrow! Looks like the "brown" freshly dropped antlers bring the most. I've got one side of a 140-150" 8 point I found a few years back. Might have to see what it brings on the auction block!  |

Found one little guy today....  Actually Max and me found it at the same time.  This one was looked like it was a pretty fresh drop so I searched the area good for the match, but no such luck. |
