huntermq32 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I was wondering if there is many Illinois shed hunters one this site and if they ware having any luck yet this year. I have found 4 so far but they were last years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: Illinois shed hunters I'm not at home where I hunt, but my brother has been out on the weekends and has only found one. People are still seeing em with full headgear in my home of Clark Co. I'm in Madison Co. now and haven't seen a deer here since the bow season went out.

Guest ILclimber Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Re: Illinois shed hunters hello fellow IL shed hunter, I haven't had a chance to go yet but i found a matching 8pt set last year on Feb. 26th that scored in the mid 150's. I will be going out to the farm this saturday and that's the 26th so maybe i might have some luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntermq32 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Illinois shed hunters I went out yesterday and found two fresh sheds.One was 3pt with some mass and the other 4pt from a 3.5 year old. I saw this deer the night before with my spotter scope and he had bolth sides. I looked for 2 hours for the other side but no luck. I found it at a fence crossing and it didn't look ready to come off so I think think he is still caring the other side. This is the earliest I have ever found a fresh shed. I usualy find them the first week in march.I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoyt19 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Illinois shed hunters I have been out two times this year, and havent found anything yet. I think I am the worlds worst shed hunter in 3 years of looking if only found one shed, and found another rack of a deer that was hit on the road but made it down to the timber. Any good places to look?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntermq32 Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Illinois shed hunters I went out friday and sunday and found two very nice 4 point sheds. bolth very heavy. I would go out as soon as you can before the snow melts and find out were they are hanging out. I find mine any were between beds and feeding areas. Were exactly are you from I live in coal city. Lots of strip mines here and they stare droping in dec and I have found them all through april. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
