2019’ shed season has started
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
Found one Saturday....better yet I had a camera stolen Sept of '17 and found it as well. It was tucked under a dead fall just off a game trail. The color just caught my eye, first thought it was a piece of trash and I was gonna pick it up, then damn....there it was! Best guess is they stashed it and never came back to pick it up. I'll take it either way.

Rick it has a brow tine it is just didn't show up well in the ATL. I don't run cameras on this property I am welcome to shed hunt and occasionally hunt if the guy who leases it kills his buck. But the sign it this woods is amazing I will probably go back in a week or two.
It's a Buckeye Cam so I put a fresh battery in it and was hoping there were pictures save that would transmit back but no luck. They had pulled the battery plug but left it in the box so I was able to charge it back up as well.

Heres an interesting shed from 3 years ago we found out in Illinois.. Never had him on cam or saw him... Be making my annual trip out there soon to scout and shed hunt..
Going to do some serious walking where this guy was last seen (after season closed) as they would be great sheds to find....

Thanks Ric... Usually dont find as many as you guys did in Iowa, but we have a blast and we have cameras to check that we left out in Nov... Plus we look for new stand sites... Ric leaving on the 15th, your welcome to come if you want...Oh my goodness Rich! Hope you guys find a huge pile of sheds!
Went looking last night....unfortunately the only shed I found was attached to this buck...which had apparently got hit by a vehicle...i walked right up to him and he just laid there and looked at me.

Would be worth the call to the game warden, even if it's to put it out of it's misery.

I might stop and check on him tonight after work. I didn't see any blood on him at all but there was car parts on the township road near where he is at. Hes about 200 yards off the road. I am guessing his broken off antler is laying near the road.
Tough thing to do, but, if you find him there in the same spot tonight I would take a knife.
I would put him down. If you have a decent wildlife officer in your county who actually does his job and returns phone calls quickly, you should call him first. If I did that in my county he would be dust to the earth before the officer called me back. Cant stand to see any animal suffer. He will likely be ripped apart alive by yotes, if he isn't already.
Don’t even get me going on him right now...there’s gotta be a different way to deal with things around here. Unexceptionable
