    Just was wondering what the earliest anyone has found fresh sheds or got cam pics of a buck that has lost one or both thought this be kinda cool to see what people have found in the past

    In 05 I shot a very mature buck w/o head gear in South Dakota with my doe tag new years weekend. Had bases the size of a chew tin and was no longer bloody so it seams they had been off for a while.

    Found a matched set in my backyard Dec 15 2007

    I believe weather plays a huge part in when they drop the worse it gets the earlier they drop

    Late December (27th-30th) I found a shed in ND while bow hunting. I’m with Gut, besides weather I believe stress is another major factor and those two can be tied together.

    The last two years I’ve picked up my first fresh shed on the seventh of January. I agree with the other statement that stress is a major factor. With all the standing corn, lower doe population(in Wisconsin at least), the majority of the bucks shouldn’t drop very early.

    It can’t come soon enough in my opinion….i’m counting down the days
