I have been shed hunting for the last month and found 25 and I'm headed to Illinois to our lease this weekend hopefully we'll find some big ones. I know Skippy turtle on her has found some good ones. Lets see some of yours

I go out a few times each spring.It gives me an excuse to be in the woods before mushrooms are up.I find just as many out metal detecting.The key to success seems to be eyes down and walk.Nice finds.

We don't have a great population of deer here but I still love to get out and try to find them. Hoping we'll get some bigger ones in Illinois

I don't get too many in my area either 5-6 decent ones a year with lots of walking.The best part of finding a nice shed for me is knowing a nice buck is still on-the-hoof.

Jw said his pair depending on spread would measure 365-70, other one his friend found same area as I hunted last fall, was 340" probably, looks bigger to me
They spotted two bulls without horns, went looking for sheds, found first pair sat, second one Sunday, other side of elk unit from where I hunted, so I probably didn't see these two, the herd bull I saw was supposed to be a 6x7 too

I trained a German shorthair pointer pup 2 yrs ago and he was doing great at a year old then my dad ran over him in the driveway, high energy dogs. May try another one someday
