toddyboman Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Re: Whos Finding bone? NE Missouri about half the bucks have shed. Found a couple already (one about 3 weeks ago) but have pics of bucks with both sides or blood spots.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Re: Whos Finding bone? [ QUOTE ] well due to the recent warm weather here in IL the bucks are shedding, [/ QUOTE ] That's cool, but I don't think the warm weather has anything to do with it. When a buck's testosterone levels drop that's when they drop their antlers. To answer the question, no, not finding any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adowns99 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Re: Whos Finding bone? hello kyle from pekin. you been out at the public area yet? i blew out my knee so i won't be finding any this year. my hunting buddy hunts the same spot all of october over a water tank in mason county. one afternoon during the 3rd week of october he found one laying right next to the water tank he had hunted the afternoon before and that wasn't there. we thought it had something to do with the blue tongue that was going arround so bad this year.
