2014 shed season

I'm like a kid in a candy store. The snow is finally all gone here and I'm getting the quad out tomorrow. I'm putting my little girl on the back with me. My dad will have one of the boys with him, and we will be slowly combing the fields (mainly wood edges) and looking hard. Just excited to get out.

I wanna hit the easy access places first before anyone else does. Then in the following weeks it's to the woods and the bedding areas. I'm sure there a few still holding on and don't wanna push any of them out of the area. Hopefully I got some pics to share tomorrow!

Took a nice hour walk this morning on some public ground. Didn't find any sheds but you can't ask for a nicer day to take a quiet walk.
 
Nice finds guys! I just got done, went out for 3 hours and didn't find chit. I've only seen a couple half racks on camera, most are still holding around here.
 
Tried to get some private land for shed hunting today knocking on doors, no such luck. Ended up going out with my girlfriend and the dogs to some public land, and she found her first shed. She was pretty excited.
 
Covered some decent ground on the quad today with one of the boys. Saw no sheds. Saw very few deer tracks. It confirmed what I have been seeing from the road. Very little traffic on this property and this property is PRIME for our local area. It was truly disturbing. I hadn't seen many deer on this property throughout the season. I am seeing less in the off season.
 
Nice Mike! Aren't you one of the guys who has said in the past you rarely find sheds? If so, you are off to a pretty good start this year. Good for you man!
