Turkeygirl Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Woke up at 8am this morning, knowing the weather was gorgeous, I got ready and drove over to my little secret state land honey hole that since I first started looking, I've picked up sheds in each year since. Well I was blown away at first, the DEC had it logged!!!:jaw: Wasn't quite a clear cut, guess selective maybe but they took out this entire section of pines along with hardwoods.....So my hopes were dismal...I think they must have done it late fall or early winter by the looks of it. Any both sheds look to be last year's but in great shape and both in the same area I've found sheds. Did not find any freshies but I'll have to search again over there...Did flush several grouse....So might be a hotspot come grouse season. Oh, and neither sheds are matches to the ones I found there last year! First one, not a bite mark on it...funny little thick thing: The second one, on the edge of the clearcut, actually looked like it had been run over by a machine when they were in there...it was pressed down in a little bit...couple small chews but nothing bad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that explains it. Them's ain't akerns, them's is turds. LOL Looks like that deer was eatin' some akerns. :eat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I was out for 5-1/2 hours today for one little 2-pointer shed. You're doing better than I am. Way to spot em Ruth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 WTG Ruth- those oldies can be tough to find especially with 2 years of recent logging/boot traffic in that area. Good eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
