Well so much for the whitefish.! Nice horn there and don't doubt they shedding already. Was an oddball year from day one. Wondered if the moose and mature whiteys wouldn't shed early.

A friend was driving down a Busy road in town a few nights ago and found a freshie Whitetail shed laying on the road..4 ways came on and he ran out holding up traffic then spotted the match laying on the edge of the field not far away..easiest find ever.

Imagine how many you dont find, those fracking wolves eat most of the bones and there is not much left to even attract ravens. One skiff of snow and you would even barely know they were there.

Not here yet
I wish they were dropping here. Got cams up and nothing has dropped out of 60-70 bucks I have pics of. I take it means they are in great shape. Lots of feed around and not much snow.

South and west of Calgary.
There was a bachelor group of 9-10 that have been hanging out in the same general vicinity since about mid December. When it was cold I would see them alot. Since it warmed up their patterns have changed and I rarely see them together. Of the 8-9 I have photos of, I belive only 3 have antlers still. Of which they are smaller spiker or 3*3 guys.
If I had to guess, by the way these antlers were melted into the snow, they dropped sometime before the weather got real nice a week or so ago.

Was out last evening as the sun was setting. Saw a ridicoulous amount of deer and atleast a dozen bucks. All still carrying both sides , even the big boys.
After one in particular as i would guess his inside spread is upwards of 24"

You are on a roll, man! Surely nice sets of antlers you posted up until now, each and every one. I have been out once, so far, and nothing. Granted, there was about a foot of snow where I was hiking

Both of those last 2 are singles I am hopeful to find the match once the snow melts more. Still 8 inches deep on all but the south sides of hills.

Question for anyone reading..
What is the furthest away you have found a matching shed pair?
I have looked in atleast a 100 yard radius of both of those single sheds and come up empty.
p.s. I have yet to go into their bedding areas, just food spots and major game trails

A wise shed hunter once told me. "Find the beds and find the sheds." Id keep on the food for a bit yet. Still early so don't get inpatient and make them move. You'll get them.
