2022 Shed Hunting

[hickslawns]

23 sheds? Good grief. How many beers did it take to find 23? Sounds like a long day. I'd be pumped to find 23 in a season. Nice work!

I heard Ric has walked around 1200 miles this year on his shed hunting pilgrimage. Last I heard that was 21 or 22 sheds. You need to give him some lessons.

Had to be close to the same number of beers.

Took a walk looking for possibly the match to the big shed from the other day. Found a really nice 4 point side, walked about 50 more feet and almost tripped on another one in an overgrown field. 2 sheds in 2 minutes! The 2nd one ended up being the match to the big shed from Thursday. Its G2 is broken off but clearly is a match. Was found approximately 500 yards from the other side.

Walked another spot across the road and found another really good 4 point side. 3 sheds for the day. Here are the other 2 4 point sides..

Love the cool looking shed on the right. Great to have so many big racked bucks running in your area like that too.

Good day. 6 sheds and an antler with part of a skull.

Congratulations on a heck of a day!!! Best day for me this year was finding half of what you did today but I’ll gladly take it!

Walked over 8 miles today and found 2 nice freshies with no chews so they musta dropped recently. First off, I was couple miles from home and walked 1/2 mile up big wooded hillside to a small field on top and spotted tines. Reached for my phone to take pic and nada!!!! Forgot it at home, FACK!!!! Lol
Left it there and hunted on way back to truck and went home to get phone.
Went back to shed and took photos then continued on finding another nice right side 100 yards away and inside 1.25 of walking. The rest of the 8 miles was strictly exercise but I’m very happy! These 2 make 25 total. I’m wrapping up my shed hunting on Friday, gotta start on them raised beds

Hahaha no. To much green briar to get a photo where it was so took one when I came out

Well, decided to put all of my sheds away that I had around the fireplace with the exception of 2. I kept one from TG8 and Character since they’re over the fireplace.
Anywho, as I sorted and packed them in totes I paired up my nicest sets today. I don’t have a ton of matched sets but laid them out for a photo anyway. I have a half dozen dink sets and the ones I found this year that didn’t make the photo op but here they are.

The 2 large sets top left same row are from the same deer in back to back years. I missed that deer when he carried the bigger set(2nd down top left). Shot right over him taking his hair off.

Alot of boot leather there Ric! I bet you can remember every dang one of them where they were found too.

Was looking for this years model of this buck and came up with last years. 63 inch side. If I can find his fresh sheds I’m betting they are 70 per side

Guess we should search our own backyard better . A nice chew toy for Buddha.

Ohhhhhhhh, completely forgot about that. If that was the case id thought theyd at least pulled the thing into the side ditch. This was still laying on the stones.
