its awesome to see more in more people going out shed hunting this year. also great to see people having trail cam pics of a buck n then to find there sheds. i had that happen to me this year with a 9 pointer i was hoping would make it through this year to next year because he will be a nice deer next year. but when i came across his antlers it was the greatest feeling knowing i saw this deer 3 or 4 times during season and now i got his sheds : )

[medicsnoke]

your guys gotta start getting ATL's (as they lay) pictures. The one in the pines is the best so far, that gets my vote

[fatkid]

[buckstar25]

Posting this for my dad, he was pretty amped about finding this and I didn't want to start a new thread just to post the pic. He found this hanging on a Maple tree branch that was close to his feeder. He said it had to have happened last night, but I put a tape on it and it was over 5" b/w the G2 and 3. He is goin back up to try and find the other side tomorrow. great pics by the way.:)

Go ahead and throw these in the contest. 188 inches typ. Don't think I'll find a set much bigger than these this year.http://www.ohiosportsman.com/photopost/data/500/medium/DSC_0016.JPG

[Mountaineer]

JD..

Those are some great sheds:)...Whats going on here? Where you guys finding such antlers..these are world class bucks..How are you guys finding such deer? Can you guys hunt these deer? Are these deer huntable?

Also..this contest is not fair..im subjected to Publicland only...How can i compete with you privatelanders and your QDM deer?:irked:;)

[Patriot1]

id like to see somebody beat those

[JD Boyd]

id like to see somebody beat those
Last year I had a set that scored 192 in the contest and don't think anybody even noticed them. I wish I would have waited about 2 weeks later because then I found a set that scored around 205. So I'm sure somebody will find some bigger than this set I entered in the contest. As far as as they lay pics WIFE won't let me take the camera out of the house.

[Pike]

JD I noticed them!!:biggrin: Congrads on this years finds!! They have my vote!!
Not that my vote counts for much.:biggrin:
Im heading back out tomorrow night for another weekend of shed hunting,
shouldnt take too long to find a matched set that will put yours to shame.

Disposable for god sakes. Huge sheds.

[Siman08/OH]

Haha :cool:

[Mountaineer]

These are some great sheds...What are the rules in the contest? Ive heard of people actually going into areas or properties they have no permission to be on to shed hunt....Whenever i see lots of big sheds and no big bucks killed..that leads me to beleive there are some suspicious activitities goin on...How come all the big sheds but no big bucks killed? :D

I dont find any big sheds cause i kill the big buck in my area that i can hunt.;)


I think There be some tresspassin goin on :tsk::D.....of course what the heck do i know..im just a Nonresident.:D

Quit trying to stir the pot :tsk: :nono:

[fatkid]

big deer dont get big by getting killed but i do agree you would think that if i had a deer sporting antlers like that I would have a trail pic of him. I have heard of alot of guys that buy or have friends that grow fenced deer and get there sheds that way. And also a nother thing to think about is that there a lot of people that will let you look for sheds and will not let any hunting

As I have stated in posts before I have one of the best areas to hunt in the two counties I hunt in. Only problem where the big ones spend their time I can't hunt. They are strictly against hunting but shed hunting they have no problem with me doing that. I ask them every year if they have changed their mind yet and I get the same answer every year. I guess the 160 inch buck I killed this year was'nt big enough.

[Pike]

JD. NO its not!! Next year I expect a 180 out of you!:)
Mountaineer, we Have some monsters on my property but I promise you this its easier to find their sheds than it is to kill them!! Pike

[Mountaineer]

I can walk 3 days solid on The Wayne Nat forest and not find anything...I dont understand how you guys are finding so many...Your land must be way underhunted..:D.

Dont mind me..Im just envious:irked:

I'm headed back to Ohio next weekend..to try ...try again..I promise you..I will find a shed on the Wayne:coolgleamA:

[Nimrod]

I can walk 3 days solid on The Wayne Nat forest and not find anything...I dont understand how you guys are finding so many...:

I know what you mean! It's like finding a needle in a haystack. It's hard enough to locate the whole buck during archery season some weeks. I did manage to find a very chewed up shed this past Wednesday.

[Siman08/OH]

Ok JD, not to hijack, but im curious. Are you saying you found a 205, 192 and 188 inch set WITHOUT any kind of spread? You do realize that with a modest 17 inch spread that you could have the WORLD RECORD typical whitetail running around! Enlighten me on this.

I believe he said they were scored giving a 20 inch spread. Definately world class. I myself have wondered where JD has been, and what he has been picking up, since now, in my opinion is the best time to put numbers on the board. Personally Im stuck on nine this year and have blanked out the last four trips.

The set on top has a 19 inch spread.The bottom set has a 20 4/8 inch spread.http://www.ohiosportsman.com/photopost/data/502/medium/Deer_01.jpg

[Siman08/OH]

Thanks JD. Those are some CHUB sheds. World class. Congrats!

[Mountaineer]

Man..You guys are really finding nice sheds...Well..Im gonna give the Wayne one more try this weekend...My buddy and I are coming out to shed hunt our spot again.:biggrin:

[fatkid]

not that I am going to find any bone as big jd but I think we are going have to make the contest run a little bit longer. I was out yesturday three of us we seen 5 different bucks that was sporting wood that was in stark ,caroll , and harrison countys. all my deer cams are still showing bucks also. any one else seeing bucks with there antlers.

[Full Rut]

Yes, Ive seen a few still packing horns the last couple days and have pics too. The latest Ive seen with antlers was the first week in April.

I saw 2 bucks last weekend while shed hunting that were still sporting bone. I did manage to find 2 sheds yesterday, though.

[sethjamto]

Yes, we definitely NEED to extend the deadline.

What to ya'll say........April 15th? That should give everyone plenty of time to get out there and find some monster sheds!

[JD Boyd]

The big buck I really want to find sheds from is still carrying his horns to.

[fatkid]

here is one guys I didnt find it but a good friend did . It is last years shed from the buck my best friend harvest this year. It scored 74 1/4

[antiqucycle]

I would suggest the contest go to the end of turkey season when the grass and weeds are just too high to see anything. I get lucky during turkey season while I am picking morels.

[Deehntr56]

Found this past week.......nice mass and long G2-G3's.


http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k269/Deerhntr56/0309090833.jpg

[Cap't Ernie]

Good point, it looks like the contest is over! I'll have to post my little one from this year. If it runs until the end of turkey season- or at least til past Easter that will give me a chance...but like I said, looks like somebody has already gotten all the bragging rights.

[deerhunt45]

I would suggest the contest go to the end of turkey season when the grass and weeds are just too high to see anything. I get lucky during turkey season while I am picking morels.

I'm ok with extending the contest until April 31st if we keep getting posts of these monster sheds!

[whitetail_joe]

When was the contest supposed to end? Surely it runs to the end of March.

[Mountaineer]

Ya gotta keep the contest up until at least after turkey season..thats when i find my big sheds..I cover 3 or 4 miles a day turkey hunting...So..please keep it up till then..I expect to find some dandies in turkey season.:D..well..hopefully:coolgleamA:

[Bassnbucks]

[JD Boyd]

Looks like I'm beat again this year:mad:

[Cap't Ernie]

Ok I just crapped myself and now want to know if those are real, where the heck they were found.....

6 posts- welcome to the site I guess!

Sure this is going to flare up tomorrow, but can I just say ANYONE could find those things- holy crap...those are bigger than trees I hang stands on!

I keep scrolling up again to look at those....oh man. Someone tell me those are real.

[ltownhunter]

man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those things are huge!

[cotty16]

WOW!!!:yikes:

[Mountaineer]

Finally Found one..Funny how i hike 6 to 8 miles Saturday and found 0..Today..i wasnt in the woods 20 minutes and i found one.

It scores 47...Kinda embarrassing i have to post after those giant sheds :(...Oh well...I hope to find some big ones in turkey season
http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq13/flog/shed09001.jpg

[buckster]

Man that sucks 6 post and then this. Ha Congrats those are huge
I shure hope you get him.

[Yeley0437]

Man i didn't know that if you find them inside a 1 acre pin that you could enter them in the contest :whistle::shhh: ;)

[JD Boyd]

Can I enter a second set? If so here they arehttp://www.ohiosportsman.com/photopost/data/500/medium/SSC_0013.JPG

[Buckeyearcher]

Those are some exceptional sheds but after everything I see and hear I am skeptical if they are from a wild deer. I could get several sets from a friend that are from pen deer. Has anyone seen a trail cam photo of the deer. I for one like JD's sheds since he has some trail camera photos of the deer before he got the sheds. I don't know how to exactly police this, but how does one go about proving they are sheds from a wild deer.

If they are from a wild deer, congrats Bassnbucks.

[Mountaineer]

Good quaestion..How do we know if these bucks are huntable? I know some guys that shed hunt bucks that live in areas that do not allow hunting..thats why the bucks get so big...

Well..here's my pathetic bunch i found today..The Big 8 my buddy found...I found the matched set..double brow buck..All sheds came from huntable land that gets hammered..Tats why day so small...Oh well..got some exercise on a nice spring day..had fun.:D

I cant compete with you guys...I live in a state that grows scrubs.:D

JD..thats an incredible story and buck.;)

If someone want's to make themselves feel awsome by putting some high fence sheds or whatever on here, than I guess that is there thing. But as for policing this contest or having someone prove where they are from, come on. I believe last years winner got a hat. Just a friendly contest. I don't shed hunt for a hat, and Im sure most others don't either. Hopefully some more big sheds are found.

[traphunter]

Wow some of you guy sure know how to find them. I walked 6 miles today and was super excited just to find one. Any final word when the contest is over?

[whitetail_joe]

Ive found alot bigger this year but this is the best or atleast most memorable one I have found and is my entry. My daughter and I shledding. She was more interested in the bean stubble!

Let's extend the deadline to April 15th, approximately two weeks.

Remember, this is a photo contest.

Thanks for a great response and all the photos :D

This is from the same buck the last 2 years, he is an awesome 6 point. The shed on the right side is actually a break off from this year. He has a 12" G-2.

This 6 point side is from a buck that I will be targeting this year. It scores 74" as it is.

Gern I am starting to think that you are a deer farmer with all the big bucks that are around you lol......I don't think there is a single spot in vw county that will yield as much bone as you have in your collections....keep it up man

Definitely not a deer farmer. I watch and scout for these bucks on a year round basis. It's a lot like detective work, and a matter of putting together a puzzle. There are good bucks nearly everywhere, some places have a few more than others.

As far as shed hunting goes, I put in a lot of time and cover a lot of miles. This year was really tough for shed hunting. I think all of the bucks spent more time in those 160 acre corn stubble fields due to having to spend more time digging thru ice and snow for food. It is nearly impossible to figure out which field they lose their racks in, let alone trying to find one in a corn stubble field. Heck, the whole field looks like antler. Another thing that made it especially hard was all the high water we had up here this spring. All of the creekbottoms have been under water for virtually the last month and a half, particularly the ones that I hunt. I know darn well there were some good bucks left over in some areas, but who knows where they shed at. If some of those bucks lost their horns in the creek bottoms, they are gone and never to be found.

[cincydeerman]

ill bet there is some bend in creeks where all the antlers gather and become tangled during the flooding. im going to look for that spot this weekend.

A hat...for most unique shedhead and a most tasteful thread hijack assist.

What color hat you want and do you want geezer monogramed on the back? :mischeif: :coolgleamA: :D

[jackalope]

Don't look like any whitetail rack I ever seen :16suspect1: :mischeif: :nono:

This is just crazy. I found them in Vinton county they have to be whitetail. I know there are elk in ky. Are there any populations of Mule deer in Ky or Wv that might have gone traveling.. How would a Mule deer have ended up in Ohio..

[antiqucycle]

Mule Deer in OHio? garage sales and fleamarkets.

[riverdude]

Kind of looks like a set of Sika antlers in a way but they are not from around here either. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm:confused:

[jackalope]

I got to thinking. I wonder if this sucker couldn't be an escapee from Double D.. We're only about 6 miles from them. I should call them tomorrow and ask if they have had a muley of a sika escape. Probably wouldn't say so if they did though.

Sika's are typically from Maryland ( here in the United States ). They live in swamps, Marshes, some woodlands and ag. fields.
You may be on to something with the Double D, isn't that a high fence place?
If you call and ask if one got lose don't tell them your name, they may want to charge you for it. :D
Let us know Jack.

[Bassnbucks]

Maybe I missed it, but I never saw where a winner for the contest was selected.

[T.Leo]

Bassnbucks, if you didn't win something is wrong!!!!! I haven't seen anything this year bigger than what you found.
