Well im on the board for the shed hunting contest  took my coon dogs with me to go check a trail cam and look to see if i might get lucky and find a shed..I came up on a 1 acre field thta i bushhogged this fall to plant a food plot in this spring. and well i looked to up to see what looked like a small stick that had the bark taken off of it, but it was one of those things where you see it and you know exactly what it is. I couldnt actually tell it was an antler yet but i just kinda knew it, i walked up on it and sure enough there it was. It had some small chews on it and was bleached by the suna little but i kinda wonder if it wasnt just a real early drop  anyways if it was there before i am lucky i didnt mow over it or pop the tractor tire on it! I must have walked right by it 15 times if it wasnt dropped this year.. Ill take what i can get..it was just a lil 3 point side Attachments:

What was really cool was that this shed matches an antler to a small buck i killed on the same place about 4 years ago. It was a 7 point buck with 3 points on its left side. This shed wasalso 3 points and a left side. Not only that but the main beam is identical to the other buck, mass is almost identical, the brow tines are the same length and come out at the same angle, and the G2 is the same length as the other is. Just kind of cool how that deers genes passed on to another and made an almost identical deer. Kinda interesting

Well itonight i went to property where i did most my hunting this season and was gonna check look for some shjeds, particulary from a buck i had pics of and saw in the feeding in the field about 2 weeks ago .. So i walkin up there not expectin to find anything and i start to climb over the fence (he has fences that keep his horses in one area and he used to have cows back there) but for some reason i took a few steps down the fence to look at something and then i kind of looked down at the ground and i saw two thick white tines just barely poking out from behind a tree by the fence and the first thought that jumped in my head was" Thats a freakin shed!" Then i wgot a beter look at it and when i saw it i just stopped and did a little celebration dance  WHen you spend countless hours looking for them it is a really great moment when you first lay eyes on a shed. I had an adrenaline rush for like 2 minutes lol It had fallen off when he jumped the fence coming in from the cornfield to the woods. I looked in the cornfield and in the woods but didnt come up with the other side. I know this deer and have pics of him standing under my stand in daylightduring bow season. I have his small side:P it would be nice to find the other side but maybe thats asking too much.. Mission accomplished. Im startin to like these 5 minute shed hunts  Definitely gonna be walkin some fences tommorro and saturday! This shed dwarfs the other fresh 4 point side i found last year! Oh yeah and did i mention it was only 100 yards from my treestand Attachments:
