Going out this afternoon. Will be tough in the sun, but cant wait around for perfect conditions.

I agree, walk with the sun at your back, and glass the bean and wheat fields the same way. If the horns are there, they will stick out! Good luck to you.

Thanks for the tip Full Bore. We ended up coming back empty handed. Grid walked about 60 acres of native warm season grasses (CRP). Found some other boot tracks on the way out. Still too early I think, I am going to slow down for a couple weeks.

 

[JD Boyd]

I found two this weekend. Saw five bucks still carrying both sides.

 

[finelyshedded]

I didn't get any pics JD! Lol

 

[Fullbore]

Hey Bro, he prolly hung them up in trees! Lol. Sorry JD, couldn't pass on that.

As far as down here in the Athens area I think 50% are still holding. I have found 6 so far. but I know Dad saw a buck the other day. so did greg. and Greg just called to tell me he saw 3 today one with no sides one with one side and one with no antlers left. Still a bit early but it wont keep me off the property's I don't bowhunt

Two of us walked for around 5 hours today on three new properties and came up with zero sheds. I know better than to go this early because in my area it doesn't get prime until the 2nd week of March, about the time things are thinking about getting green. I just couldn't resist myself. They closed my office down because all of the gov-ment workers had the day off, so I took it off too. For some reason they drop earlier in the S/E part of the state. I am not looking in very deer rich areas either, so that doesn't help the matter any. If we had more deer we would probably be finding more antlers.

I TOO am hunting in the SW and couldn't agree more with your entire statement. I was off, walked my ass off(4+miles), around grain picked/winter wheat field edges,seeing some tracks and skat but not tons. Talking to neighbors and friends in my area when the do see a buck(seldom) it still has both sides.

I hear yah. Finding an antler is no easy task in itself. Factor in the lowest deer population I have seen in 15 years of hunting and it makes it even tougher. I will always be out there no matter what though. For some reason walking miles upon miles to usually come up empty handed must be appealing to me!

Found these, and got a pic you hate to see during season

 

[LonewolfNopack]

Nice finds customizer!! What is that last pic of, is there a shed in it? Is that a dike or something built around the field?

 

[Fullbore]

Great finds! Keep those pics coming.

Found 2 scrubs from last year after walking 3 fields and couple of woods spots. Can't seem to find a spot where they are spending time. I was at about 12 this time last year only 5 fresh ones and 2 old ones so far.
