35 so far. Still not finding many fresh whitetails. They're too spread out from warm weather.

Unreal.

I recognize that first shed. And that set looks familiar too. Did he get shot?

Northbuck,
That set of antlers is worthy of getting a cape for and doing a shoulder mount with them. I had a set of 191 drops that I had done into a shoulder mount.

With the low amount of snow this year the wt sheds seem to be almost anywhere but were you expect them to be.

I am thankful they have been able find some on there own. I have gone on some long walks with them in the past and come up dry. A bit of success seems to keep them motivated.
