FS First sheds of the year a MATCH!

finelyshedded · Feb 13, 2012

I finally felt it was time to start my shed hunting season today but still feel its TOO early yet but I need the exercise and I'm getting ansy.lol

I swapped two cards today and did a little nosing around a few fields to day and found my first two sheds that happen to be a match set. They were laying about 20 or so yards apart. Here are the ATL pics:

The other side is at the center top of pic:

Leftside:

Rightside:

Not great mass but nice tine length. The brows are short but the G2 and 3's are 8.5 to 9.25" in length.

Sweet!

Very nice man. A great find to have a match set.

Will be heading out next weekend myself to find them since they are starting to show up on cam gearless now.

Lucky! I'm going to try Sunday afternoon.

Why can't I ever find 'em like that??? Good stuff, Ric!

Congrats, great way to start your shed season! Have most dropped in your area?

finelyshedded · Feb 13, 2012

I would say no! I'm thinking 80% or more are still carrying but the jury is still out. I hear many stories of people still seeing bucks with both sides even. I haven't been able to locate the bucks feeding areas yet to catch them on TC to see for sure in my area. IMO, hit the fields but don't tramp around too much in he bedding areas till March.

Nice finds, Ric! Hope you find a bunch more.

xbowguy · Feb 13, 2012

Good Job Ric! Glad to see you find a match set. Sure would be nice to fine them like that all the time. But that's what makes it so good when it does happen. Usually look for days trying to find the other side. I'm real glad for ya..... Hope you find many more........

Lol, yeah I had him at 25 yards this past hunting season and he dropped them right smack dab in the middle of the prop I hunt.

Nice find!!! He must have been eating the little green plants, do you know what they are ?

finelyshedded · Feb 14, 2012

In all honesty I don't think he was. The sheds were lined up with a trail cutting thru a small finger separating to cut beanfields. They are actually laying near the edge of the closest beanfield to a known bedding area where the beans didn't fair to well and I imagine he was on his way back to his bedding area when they just fell off a seconds apart.IMO

Big_Holla · Feb 14, 2012

Great finds! Waiting for March as well to do the hard looking! Keep the updates coming!!
