Good day for us!!

We beat our old record of 20 sheds in one day... today. Tyler found 9 and I picked up 13 for a 22 shed total for the day.. Generally it is the other way around with Tyler finding the most but I think he felt sorry for me. Tomorrow we will edit in the a picture of the total count for the day. Batteries went dead in the camera half way though the day but here are a few...

Tyler found this which turned into a low 50" 4 pt shed. Batteries went dead after that.

We are just on the edge of it. We might get 3 - 4 inches out of it. Might sneak out for a little bit today but not expecting to find much with the snow we got already.

here's the picture of our total for yesterday...

Tyler passed on the buck with bow that carried the shed in the 6th picture. It's in the top of the total sheds picture. If the other side is close to the same in size... it would have grossed 130 - 135 crazy.gif He was after a bigger buck with a freaky side. Never worked on out on the bigger buck as he had that buck go by under 20 yards twice. Once it was fighting with another buck and they fought out of range. The next time a small buck got in the way and he couldn't get a shot.

It is a good area to hunt. We are hoping to find the freaky side shed and it's 6 pt mate to the bigger buck, but no idea if it made it through rifle season as the area got hammered hard by others.

Again nice work!!

You guys have got some good quailty racks there.

Did you guys find those sets close together?

So far we only have 7 matched sets out of 48 sheds. We didn't step any off but roughly 300 yards on one set. 150 yards on another. The rest have been 20 yards to a few yards. Should be 34 sides still out there

Over the years the longest distance apart for a matched set that we have found is roughly 4 - 5 miles on two different bucks. Most matched sets we find are under a 1/4 mile.

Qualitywise... biggest is 56 for this group. No monster sheds here. We have only found a couple barely going over 70 inchs out of 600 plus sheds. Most are in mid 50s and under. If you are looking for big sheds, this isn't the place to look for them.

We figured we each put on 13 - 14 miles of walking for the day. The sheds are here but you need a big area to search to find good numbers. You will walk for them. We each walk roughly 250 to 300 miles per shed season. I know deershed puts on the miles and saskshed (km for him grin.gif ). I would be curious how many miles they put on in a shed season.

it always amazes me how close or far apart they are. Like you said usually they seem to be fairly close, but have found them up to a mile or 2 apart. Or never found the other side. grin.gif
