It would have been cool as hell to get before and after drops. About the only thing better would be to catch a drop on video. I don't have it set on video so that isn't going to happen. I do really hope to get a before/after with an antler sitting on the ground. I've been dumping a gallon of corn in that spot at night, and a gallon of rice brand in the morning. Getting tons of action there! Hope to have a hotspot for sheds. Have you ever thought of putting in a post and twine strung out to stakes. Put corn in center and maybe antler will get knocked off when they go in for the corn.

I've thought of it but fear making a mess. I don't believe you can yank antlers off, they will shed when they are ready to shed. I've visually watched bucks fight one day without an antler falling off, then the next day one of them shed. The fight should have been plenty of force to take off anything that was loose. I think they are solidly attached until the process of releasing takes place.

I'm rooting for you to eventually hook up with Bloody Buck! Looks like one has started to shed.

Thought I found the shed off the buck above but look at the browsing and curve of the main beam. Different deer. One of the better sheds I've found! Pretty fresh too.

Found this in a creek bed that's been under water for as long as I can remember. Who knows how long it's been there but it's old. FIL said he's never seen things this dry before.

Buck from above ^^^. Figured I would check a grassy southeast facing hillside that I know he crosses. Laying right there on top! Doesn't get easier than that! I hope you find some right on the driveway cam. How's the dog for finding them?

I hope you find some right on the driveway cam. How's the dog for finding them? I hope so too! The dog has yet to bring me an antler that I hadn't found first. No evidence that he is smelling them (which is what I had wanted). When I find an antler I stop and wait for him to find it, then he brings it to me.

Great day! Spent about an hour walking. Found 9 total, including a very rare matched set that were laying on each other!

No, it's not empty. Kind of a bummer really. We've eaten some pancakes and the syrup is excellent! But we haven't been home together much lately.
