Hey everyone. As mentioned on another thread my name is Dave. I am from Maryland and love deer hunting. Hope to make it up to your great state to bow hunt sometime in the future.

Figure if I gonna check out your shed threads I should make one of my own. I don't hit the numbers some of you do or the size. Guess I start with my finds so far from this year. Don't know if I will find many more running out of spots to hit. That and its getting pretty green in some areas already.

Started out the year with two 4pt sides. One old and one fresh. Then a few dinks couple spikes and a forky. Competition is fierce down here especially on public land.

Thanks for reading.

Next find of the year was my personal best shed. A 4pt side and was last years shed. Got lucky and it was in great shape. Only saw the G2 and G3 sticking up outta the grass. You know one of those cant wait to pull it out of the grass and see what I got.lol Taped it at 62 1/8

Found this one on Friday on my buddy's farm. His friend's 15yr old son shot this buck. Hit him in the leg but he seems to be hanging in there. It was his right side.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas.


Today my buddy and I hit one of his spots a farm he picked up late season to hunt. Our other friend hunts on the other side of the road and was hunting a stud for down here in MD. I suspected with the pressure from him the buck moved across the road. We kept waiting to hit this spot not to blow deer out of it till we were certain they lost their antlers. Sure enough today my buddy found the left side within 10 min of looking. Not long after that I picked up the match about 100 yds away. In true shed hunter fashion I gave my side up since he found his first. I did say I will get custody every now and then.lol

Have not taped him yet but I think he is right around 160". Any guesses?
