I shed hunt a lot, and normally start seriously looking march 15th. Just wondering if anyone has seen any bucks that's shed yet, or found any fresh sheds? Also what county?

All my bucks that I've been watching and on trail cameras are still holding antlers. I'm in Durham/Person Counties.

My wife and I saw three on Sunday that still had antlers. It looked like one was rubbing and trying to knock them off.

They started dropping them where I hunt the last week of the season. Seems that has been the case for the last several years, with a few of the bucks. I have not had a picture of a buck still carrying into February in a long time. Last time I checked the cam, only thing still holding on to them was a couple of spikes. Alleghany county.

I found a nice one in Granville last Friday. Found it in a wheat field.

Wish I could find a good Deer antler, they make an excellent nut and saddle for a guitar..

Send me a pm. I've got lots. I'd send you one to use. Only request is to see the finished product.


All my bucks are still holding as of yesterday in Person/Durham counties.

Found one side of an eight point I guess in both Nash and Halifax county. Camera shows most bucks still holding in both counties as of Saturday

Drove by the fields near Philip Morris in Concord on 29 yesterday afternoon and field was loaded with deer. Pulled over to put the binos on them, saw 4 bucks mixed in with several doe. Still holding in Cabarrus, biggest was a nice 12 pt, 2 that were either 8's or 10's (couldnt see any brow tines) and a big 6.

Dont know what they are doing up here in Granville. No pictures of bucks (or many deer for that matter) but that isn't much different from all season long.

Most of them in WV seemed to have dropped in the last week, according to the pictures my buddy sent me this weekend. I also saw one here on MCAS Cherry Point that had dropped antlers last week.

Just pulled cards in Randolph county. Most of the bucks still have their antlers. I didn't find any sheds in the plots.

That just confirms why I don't shed hunt until mid march. Ours hold antlers into March most of the time. The best time, IMO is right before greenup around April 1st.
