Picked up this little guy last week while taking down cameras. Earliest one I've found!

It has shed as the bottom has that porous sandpaper feel to it, but the one corner is pretty sharp so I'm thinking something must have jarred it loose

Took my dog out training. On the third toss, we both couldn't find the shed back. I was thinking this is a weird trip, minus one score.

Saw a pack of 5 yote, haven't seen 5 packed before, some big ones at least. To avoid my dog get into trouble, we turned from planned route. Then at a unexpected place, found this, have tooth marks on the tips, so has been relocated some how. The other was from last year some area, do you think they are related?

Had my best Christmas break ever for sheds up north. Found 3 moose and 5 WT. The deer were in the swamps where the caribou should have been. The lack of snow made for rough sledding but easy walking and spotting antlers.

I'd say Mid Febuary on average....my dads got a couple 180" typ Bucks spotted in the same herd...checks them every few days and they are still packing as of this morning.

Me too...he keeps a close eye on them and the doe's they are with.There is also a nice 5x6,155" whitetail in the same area too however as you could imagine he don't show himself too often unlike the muledeer bucks.

Found a small 5 point shed on the driveway the other day. Looks like its time to start looking a little harder.

Cant wait for end of February to get out there for mulie sheds! Hope the weather for the next 2 months are mild. Wont be going out there if the deer are struggling to survive.. sheds can wait until spring melt if that's the case.

Has anyone had any luck finding whitetail sheds in heavy bush that isn't near any fields? Any tips?

Seen many bucks in wmu 248 still sporting headgear as of this weekend.
