huntermq32 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 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.

brownie65 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: ILLINOIS SO FAR? found 1 a wek ago Sunday. Didn't go this weekend because of all the new snow we got. Saturday was still pretty cold too. Plan on going next weekend. Hopefully some of the snow will be melted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: ILLINOIS SO FAR? 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.

bigbuckkilla89 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: ILLINOIS SO FAR? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuckkilla89 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: ILLINOIS SO FAR? 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.
