huntermq32 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 How many of you are finding carcases in the woods this year. I found three bucks that had already shed. Two were 1.5 year olds and one 3.5. I only coverd half the property.Lets keep a tally with dnr wanting to extend seasons and sell more permits this could lead to a big problem.

Rut_N_Strut Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have found 7...... 3 were 1 1/2 year old bucks...... one was a 6 1/2 year old that I had seen several times ...... and three does..... that is about average for me though.... our neighbors are bad shots to say the least. they shoot them then the deer run to our land which has very light hunting pressure to die.

MUDRUNNER Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Man, that's not good to here at all.I know numbers where I hunt were way down this year.It just doesn't make sense to extend the season right now. Our group usually bags about 12-14 deer per season, and this year all together we only got 7.In 16 years of hunting I can't remember a slower season.

bowin_in_illinois Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 We'll be shed hunting in a couple of weeks, so we'll see what we come across. So far this winter we have found 3 dead bucks and a couple dead does. Here are the bucks... A couple closeups of the 2 bigger ones... It's a real shame...

00DodgeGuy Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well unfortunately, I didn't make it out this weekend like I had planned......I did see a nice racked buck that still had both sides on Saturday though. I was really shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00DodgeGuy Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 So I made it out today but only for about 3 hours.....found one shed and one dead deer.....also saw the remnants of another dead deer but couldn't find any of the skeletal structure.
