We found 21 in two day on my farm in Iowa. Wet conditions may have made the sheds more visible. Just a blast, my oldest boy and his friends, really had fun!! We found 6 in the first 45 min. Most of the antlers were in the food plots, bean stubble, draws and grassy areas, not many in the timber/cedars. Also saw a lot of deer, turkeys, and 4 coyotes in one group. Two dead heads, one was a 5/6 year old bully eight, that the neighbors must have shot and not found. Here are a few pics....   |

Looks like a blast. It's much more fun to search when you have a chance of finding sheds.
Nice looking country, rain is probably a good thing right about now.

Congrats - I bet that was a blast! Even sweeter knowing you guys will be hunting a few of those guys next fall.

You guys with non-MN land need to post a warning for us MN guys. Those kinds of pictures can make a guy question his life choices and be damn discouraging when we're trying to get geared up to go fight the wall of deer management in MN.
Just kidding. But not really. Great haul! Congrats!

Man, I cant even imagine how fun that would be.
I may as well walk around a walmart parking lot up here, and I would find just as many as I would here in MN in the woods.

Took me 30 years of banging my head against the wall in MN to finally hunt another state. Old dogs just hard to teach new tricks I guess..... |

Nice haul! I didn't fair well this weekend in MO. No winter food source = few sheds. Ended up with 3 sheds, a dead head, and very sore legs.

Mo--Do you have alfalfa on your Mo farm? Personally, I am hoping my renter would add alfalfa in the future, maybe 10-15 acres.
Really like how it diversifies the food on a farm.

The alfalfa has been taken over by grass and is 20% the draw it used to be during the fall. I did find 2 sheds in it though. |
