Found my first sheds of the year

Well it it's been 8-9 months since the bucks started shedding their 2022 antlers but I finally found one. Much to my surprise it wasn't nibbled on by rodents. After my initial surprise and smiles, I wondered if I could locate the matching antler. I scanned the area and much to my surprise there it was a mere 3-4 feet away poking out of the new fallen oak leaves. Again, as with the first one this shed was also pristine with no sign of rodent damage. I am thrilled to find this matching set especially so long after they were dropped sometime early this year. It made my day for sure.

What a great find.  It is always exciting to think that big guys made it thru last season and could be even better this year.

Do you think you had any game camera shots of him last year or new pics from this year?

That is great DE.  Nice rack too.  You may have a winner running around there.

Steve-o,
You got me thinking that I just might have some trail camera pictures of this buck.
Turns out he was picked up on at least three different locations. I will get prints of
these and put them with the sheds. Cool beans
