Well I'm starting to think shed hunting now that is February here in North Texas. Still a bit early for deer to be dropping sheds here. Most have dropped by the end of March or beginning of April. Took a walk today in some woods and fields near me just to say I've been out once looking already and it was such a beautiful day outside. Not surprising I didn't find any sheds but I did see 2 deer right in front of me as I was walking and a ton of deer tracks. Still early with most deer still holding but the time is getting closer. For all you shed hunters in Texas more specifically North Texas around the DfW area when and where have you found the most deer sheds?

Welcome to our forum.
I’ve seen several on cam that have dropped but it’s early for the majority.
Best odds of where to find is wherever they spend most of their time. May jar em off going over or under a fence.


At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Have you tried looking in your back yard? I looked yesterday and found a 10x12 shed stocked with tools and yard equipment.

Found a handful last weekend but only one from this year. A couple from last year, two from two years ago, and a few old chalky antlers I didn’t get a pic of

If your feeders are still throwing corn you can wrap some loose chicken wire or tie some brushy limbs around the legs. Corn needs to fall inside the tangle. Easy shed acquisition when the timing is right!


Paddle faster I hear banjos!

I wasn't even looking and found one at my feeder last weekend...little 4 on one side, remember seeing him at the feeder during the season. The dogs have enjoyed chewing on it all week...they make great dog "treats" or bones.
