Antler drops - Elkoholic - 02-24-2009
Anyone found any drops yet? It may still be too early. I have been watching some deer at work lately trying to judge when they come off. I still keep seeing 1 buck around but all the other little guys have either dissapeared or dropped.
Just wondering if it's time yet?

We're half way there on the deer in Cache Valley, I'd say 50-60% have dropped. Already found a few.

I think the deer are just about there, but the elk still have a while. I lost track of the bucks I was watching when we got two feet of snow here in Ogden. That storm screwed up everything for me [:/]
Hopefully they will start showing up again since the snow has melted away. I'm just afraid that they have already dropped in someones back yard this last week.

Hey Matt, that would be sweet to find the sheds from that buck we saw on the archery hunt.

I have been looking for that buck all winter and I can't find him anywhere. Most likely he's down hiding on someones property, or maybe he dug a snow cave to hibernate for the winter. Those bucks are soo dang elusive, you never know where they go.
I have found some other real nice bucks but I always seem to lose them after the first sighting. I have got a few small groups of deer pinned down in the same spot every day, but the bucks are a different story. Sometimes these deer drive me insane!!![crazy]
As long as I can grab a few elk sheds this spring I'll be happy with the shed hunt. Wish me luck [

Let me know if you ever find yourself going alone and want some company. I've never shed hunt before and wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I've even got some private land we could check out.

Found a nice matching set of deer antlers, probably 22" wide. One problem, they were still attatched to the deer. He got hit and is in a ditch. My wife found him while she was running last night, scared her half to death. [sly]

Only been out 1 time for a short hike and my son found a 3 point from last year. Saw one buck with them still attatched.

Pretty much all the deer have dropped where we shed hunt. 2 of us picked up 20 yesterday and 16 of them were brown. 24 browns so far this year and a lot more country to cover.

Re: [bottomwatcher] Antler drops - Elkoholic - 03-08-2009
we went out again today and found 5. 3 from this year and 2 from last year. All the ones we found were really white. We also saw about 10-12 bucks that were still packing antlers and they were all white as well. Only saw 2 that had one side. I guess maybe the area they live in depends on the color? These were all in the north.

I got out and hunted the front on Saturday. Saw over 50 deer (None Packing), and one little two point antler [frown].
Got some exercise though [

Just think how many more sheds you would find if you invited ol' Hookjaw out with ya [laugh]
Seriously though, you should take me out. [cool] I usually hike 20 miles and find 1 or 0 sheds each time.

You otta come with us one of these days. Thanks to mother natures fresh 20" powder it'll be a bit before I get back out for deer, might go locate some elk anyway and see how many have dropped, saw a nice 6pt that only had 1 horn last week but we didn't want to push him lookin' for it till he dropped both. I luckily got out right before the storm and found 5 new deer sheds...i found this little 3pt set under a tree, it was cool cuz i watched him go into the trees the night before!

I would love to go. You let me know when, and I'll plan on it. I know a really good spot for elk near Morgan but we gotta wait til it opens up. [

Hit the hills again this last week and picked up 18 brown and 1 old one between 2 of us. Its a little different this year. There are only a few little yearling buck sheds that we have found. 4 total out of 42 brown. Last winter took a toll on the fawn crop.

Re: [HookJaw_Brimhall] Antler drops - bottomwatcher - 03-15-2009
All public in western Wyoming.
Re: [bottomwatcher] Antler drops - tmas - 03-16-2009
Western Wyoming is awesome! We hit once for a weekend and picked up so many sheds I was walking past the little ones! You've got me excited to go hit a couple spots again this year!
