Massive Sheds & Double-Drop Deadhead!

admin2020-06-10T09:16:49-04:00March 14th, 2016|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Shed Hunting|2 Comments

This time of year it is always fun to open my social media on Monday morning and see what bone was found over the weekend: Big Game Illustrated posted these monster sheds that Quinten found in northern Saskatchewan. Like many racks there, the bulk of last summer's growth went into that incredible mass on a 7x7 frame. The number of deer overall, and the number of giant bucks roaming the bush, are down the last 5 years, but see why I love hunting up there so? The potential of a world-class buck like this showing up is why I keep going back during the tough years. Thanks to Shedheads for tagging me with this one: This photo is fuzzy but [...]

Shed Heads on Twitter alerted us to this: Russ C. found this freak chunk of bone yesterday in Missouri, 11 points! I bet there are trail-camera pictures of this awesome non-typical out there, and I hope to track them down. Great find Russ, one of the coolest sheds of spring 2016 for sure. Everybody get out there and walk and get some exercise and find some bone this weekend.

New eBook Offers Shed Antler Dog Tips

admin2020-06-10T09:16:58-04:00March 7th, 2016|BigDeer, Shed Hunting|Comments Off on New eBook Offers Shed Antler Dog Tips

Today’s guest blog is from Dan Cole, who has published the new digital eBook, How to Find Whitetail Deer Sheds. Below are excerpts from the chapter on shed-antler dogs: The Pros of Antler Dogs There’s a huge difference between a well-trained dog and one that just finds the occasional antler. A well-trained dog can be worth its weight in gold. A good dog will find sheds that we would more than likely miss finding, and they can run pretty much tirelessly for most of the day, covering a huge amount of area that we couldn’t get to in three days of hiking. Learning how to exploit the nose of a dog is the trick to having the success you hope [...]

I saw on Twitter that Georgia hunter Jay Chambless shot an exceptional buck for the southwest part of the state last November, so I asked him to give us the story. He sent this fantastic and well-written report. Mike: Thanks so much for letting me share this adventure! It all started in September 2014. A buck showed up on one of my trail cameras that really caught my attention, a buck that I had never seen before. The deer sported a tall 10-point rack, with incredible brows and long beams. Looking at his body, it was very evident the deer was mature. I judged his age to be 5.5 years old at that time, and figured his rack to be [...]
