It definitely has been an "off" year for sheds in my neck of the woods. In the past, when we've experienced cold November's and December's with lots of snow, I usually start finding whitey sheds around Christmas and continue finding them through April..with the bulk of them being found between mid-January and early March. And the mule deer sheds are usually found later.
But this year, maybe because of the easy winter thus far, things have been different! I found a matched set of mulie sheds in late January while on my trapline. I do believe that is the first time my first shed of the year is a muley shed and not a whitetail...
I have been watching two good groups of whitetails but they were still packing for the most part. Then finally...approximately 2 weeks ago, I went out and quickly found 9...I posted the pics on this thread a while back...and I thought the floodgates had opened...
Nope!!! I went out checking the easy spots daily (feeding areas) for the next 10-12 days and NOTHING!!!
Finally had a bit of luck a couple days ago, I found this matching set...
