This weekend coming up is the weekend I take my wife to the lease to look for sheds every year. She really enjoys shed hunting. She always kicks my but finding them and I'm good with that. And I get a chance to look for some arrowheads. Lampasas county.

![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-6760-447912-new_shed_graph_with_art.jpg) Thought this was interesting. They found almost half of the sheds around 10 yards away. My percentage is way lower.

Interesting study. A few years back i found a nice shed in a honey suckle thicket from an 11pt. I was hunting. 3 days later i found the matching antler in the same bed.

Everybody watch for snakes. This time of year, walking game and cattle trails, my wife and I both prefer to carry revolvers loaded with rat shot. Just in case (I've stumbled across an unhappy western diamondback one too many times).

You guys must have a pig shortage. I was once butt deep in all kinds of snakes. Ten the pigs moved and no more snakes of any kind.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
