Nice finds. Our local wild population is not that great, its been low for a few years now.
I do manage to find one or two wild bucks antlers every year when I am out cutting firewood, but there is never enough of a carry over of bucks to make serious shed hunting worth it, been running the trail can since the first of the year, 2 spikes and a 3 point survived, that's it. I would love to find an area nearby that has a good wintering population, I do like to get out and walk in the winter and it would be nice to find more sheds. Congrats on your finds.

Good point!! Also Very hard in my part of Pa to get bucks to make it through a very long hunting season! Thats why I think hunters are turning to high fence! I talk to alot of people about high fence and Im seeing a big attitude change , Guys a few years ago that would not think of hunting highfence now trying it!! Very positive!!

I believe that is the case in many parts of the country. Reports up here were that there were not enough bucks to even take care of Ny hunts. Not enough bucks.....Thats a good thing!

WOW! Nice find! Had you seen him before?
. Aged him at 2 years old. Wondered why he disappeared from cameras, guess there was a good reason.

I seen him last year and got trail cam pics and found a shed off him last year also.
nice huntingman, I can never seem to find where the monsters go. I can always find the 1-3 year olds sheds, but anything over 4 vanishes.
Keep them flowing guys. Its a shame about the dead heads. They are being found more than sheds this year.

Thanks Sleeperls. It is sometimes hard to find the big ones here to because shed hunting is very popular so theres alot of competition.
