Hey Illinois shedd hunters lets have a total of shedds so far.Are they big ,small ,fresh,or old.Where did you find it in the state north, central,or south. I have only been out once for about 3 hours and didn't find any.This was in north central area.I have seen alot of bucks still carrying both sides so I think I will wait a little longer before I get real serious about looking.

I found 3 old sheds earlier in the year but bucks are still holding onto their head gear around here. I'm guess w/i a week or so there will be a lot of bone to find. I take a drive almost every night to see if the deer are dropping yet and have still been observing plenty of bucks with racks yet.

I found 1 side of a buck i seen during 06 bow season it has 7 points on this side and i measured the base it was 5 1/2 inches freakin huge. This is the only shed ive found most of the bucks i been seein here in southern il. still have both sides. Im goin back out this weekend to look in the same woods i really wanna find the other side to that rack so i can see what hed score. Im sure the other side has either 11 or 12 points on it. I just couldnt get him close enough during season. Man hes a monster.

Still havent found the other side of that monster but i found a big nine point 4/5 i was walkin in the hills and i knew where a beddin area was i didnt hunt this woods all year last season but as i got about 50 yards from where i thought the beddin area was gonna be i found 24 old rubs from 06 and they were on big cedar trees they were just shredded i walked on down and soon as i came over the hill to the thicket i found both sides layin right beside each other he had a big rack in 06 he should be a monster this year and i walked on down by the corn field and found one side with 4 points on it and it was another big one.
