Still packin!
On the way home from my grandpa's church, we seen 3 bucks(3x4 and two 3 points) still packing both sides! We watched them jump a fence drop into a dry canal and over the bank jump another couple fences and they were gone. Sadly they didn't drop while we were watching them. Have you guys still been seeing bucks packin?

Re: Still packin!
Went out yesterday Shed Huntin for first time this year, came home emptied handed.
Hiked for almost 6 hours, drove over 200 miles and 4 hours. Still could to get out and hike.
Saw about 20 deer, 6 bucks still packing but I believe 2 of the deer were bucks that had dropped already, just couldn't turn up any sheds. Maybe next time.

Re: Still packin!
Maybe that would explain why i haven't found any fresh ones in my usual place.. humm.. that or the hard winter we have had pushed them alot lower this year. Matter fact, i haven't seen a winter this bad for a while. If it warms up too fast.. its gonna flood!
can't wait to look for some more!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one coming back empty handed from this area!! I followed game trails, found bedding areas, scrapes, all sorts of signs but no sheds!!Went out yesterday Shed Huntin for first time this year, came home emptied handed.

Re: Still packin!
Still packing in South central CO. Ive been out three times and found 5 old ones with two matching. I think last year here it was almost the end of April into early May before you could find them on a consistent basis. I did manage to see some elk yesterday though (bunch of cows) when I went out. I let them go over the mountain then checked it out lots of rubs.I know they where fresh the branches where green and the bark was on top of what little snow we have left. So im still waiting, hurrryyyy uuppppppp

I've found a few deer sheds here in MT. A couple fresh and a couple from last year. So far not too many though.
Re: Still packin!
Nice pics LA,I dont know about MT but its been really warm here. I think they are holding a little longer its been 40's and 50's quite a bit this winter. Seems like I should be finding some already in the ol trusty honey holes.

My son called my by cell on his way to Lewiston, ID for his boiler-maker job when he was near Billings, MT he sad they saw several muleys still packing...He said they were nice too....So I believe you guys....Back here in northern MN most whitetail bucks were shed by mid Jan and some as early as late Dec but a guy at work feeds them and he said up to last weekend he had 2 8pt (eastern) still packing and one unicorn....
Good luck picking them up,
