I like finding sheds just like anyone else, but ultimately my goal is to get them past the gauntlet of MN gun seasons and feed them into January. Every deer I've harvested around here late season always has 1" fat layer on its back, so I think that can maintain through February and into spring. It is fun to see 20-40 deer hammering the rye in mid-late March.

Only decent one I have running around.

Well with the closing of rifle season, I am going to have to call it quits on hunting this year. I will try to get a doe after the new year. I tried my best to outmaneuver my big guy, but as per usual he won. It’s almost poetic that I got a picture of him literally at my house looking at me as I pulled in the drive from hunting him. He has a few weeks of late bow left to survive, but I have faith in him. I am going to spend the night dreaming of what he could look like next year. I bet it will be marvelous!

He will make it! Start planning your revenge for next season! LOL

1.5 yr old in Iowa. If he survives to 3, 4, 5 I think he’ll be special !

Dang so that's a yearling? I've tried striking up a convo before on how big a yearling can be in the wild. Never went anywhere. I think Baker said he never gives any thought to yearlings. That would be a bigger rack than what I conventionally call a yearling, but I've wondered if those type of spindly tall tined deer could be yearlings. Have sheds like that from the days before cams, big 100+ inch racks with dime size pedicles.

I think so. Body is small and he’s everywhere like a young guy. It’s possible he’s 2.5. But I doubt it.

I found a shed while turkey hunting 1 Spring. It has the heaviest mass I have ever seen, not really an impressive antler otherwise but the base is easily the size of a beer can.

Will you be around when I come pick up my trees? Interested in seeing some of these sheds?

I've been getting lazy and not staking down my cages. Mainly because it's such a pain because it's so rocky. Guess I need to start

 

[Hoytvectrix]

We found a cage that we hadn't apparently ziptied about 40 yards away all crumpled up and assumed something like this had happened. The roughest part was that a buck decided to rub the small apple tree that had been caged.

 

[buckdeer1]

A cage around one of my best crab apples got ripped off and tree got rubbed same night.I had another cage ripped of but the little fork horn only drug it about 40 yards.

 

[Smokegobbler]

This buck has been this way since October. Wonder if there will be any carryover effect next year (assuming he makes it).

Here's a photo of him from September.

If I was a serious meat hunter....
I'd be in heaven.

 

[Telemark]

carryover effect next year (assuming he makes it).

That inside spread must be a record breaker

 

[Ikeman]

Got home from the blind tonight and the new biggin’ was hanging out in the back yard. He’s pretty nice.

Is that the Banks Outdoors post feeder?
How do you like it?

I like it. You can see the spikes I added for coon deterrent on the flat area just above the spouts. I put a PVC sleeve over the post, but it didn’t stop them and also didn’t allow me to adjust the spouts for flow. This is my fifth year with it. I like it for sure. This one lives behind the house. We can see it from the living room.

You've probably answered this before; do your big bucks show up to that yard feeder in the daylight?

 

[T-Max]

Rarely. It’s in the middle of the desert. Some years there is more daylight doe activity than others. This year was not that year. When there is good doe activity though, it is not uncommon to see several bucks checking them out. The 2 big ones that have frequented the last couple years? One is from a mile North and the other is from almost a mile South. No cover in our pasture to speak of.

My NT that I was after and hit Nov 28th shed over the next 2 weeks and had pic on Dec 31st so looks like he is still doing ok.It's crazy my bucks are still fighting and hitting scrapes.Wish our season was still in but I will take a couple more does and then start habitat work and moving stands.I also found a shed this week in wheat field but looks like knocked out fighting as theres probably 1.5 inches of bone below the pedestal

 

[T-Max]

I can’t believe the number of fights lately. You’d think it was November 1. Crazy right now.
