I don't have my own hunting land but I really love this informative channel.
Thanks Jeff! Your channel means so much to so many of us
Absolutely love how your videos are so relevant to the things we should be doing for that certain time of year. Huge fan WHS is the biggest help out
Great tips about in and around bedding, that is close to food. IMO the best advice on here. Also the speed, like you said cover ground in areas that are open, trust that you will see them. I prefer sunny days, I really see the antlers well with the extra light.
I'm in northern Michigan and still see antlers on deer so nouck this year yet. Found a nice 8 point and a 6 point shed. Also found a part of a giant shed that had been eaten down last year later. Love shed hunting and scouting this time of year.
Love it! Get out and enjoy your property, sheds are just an awesome bonus!!
Amen Josh!
My boy (4) just found his first shed up here in Maine! It’s last years and chewed a bit but it’s a big 6 with serious mass, would be a great deer in midcoast Maine. Thanks Jeff and crew!
Man that is awesome...congrats to you guys!!
LMAO
"The older the buck becomes, they don't want to hang around the does and deal with the stress"
I can't tell if you are speaking from hunting experience or personal experience😄
Have definitely seen the earlier drop in the wv mountains. Fairly regularly it seems like a few of the bucks (even seemingly healthy ones) drop from December 20th on.
I saw guys looking down here on cell cams in southern Iowa on public and the season hadn’t even closed yet. Have walked about 20 hours so far and have found 1. Scouting also so it’s all good...
Great points as always.Thanks guys
I find 80 % of my WTD sheds up here in Manitoba in feeding and bedding areas where they typically yard up for the winter. That includes silage/bales. For some strange reason, I find very little on the well used deer trails in the solid bush and that includes fence crossings. Alfalfa fields are also a good spot as they hammer that all winter.
Thank you. I have never found one but keep looking here in SE WI.
I tend to get lucky on the south facing hills. Found 1 pair a week ago around our field. Havnt got in the woods yet. Just been checkin fields.
Started making bedding areas here in Pa. on the property on the bottom and side of our hill as it benches 2 levels down the back part of the property for holding buck , we have food plots on lower level front side of property, using your...depth of cover....plan, Thanks for all the advice in the videos
That sounds great Fred...be careful dropping that canopy 😊👍
Jeff, I would like to order (6) 5-year old bucks in the 150" class range. When can you deliver? I'll chain them to a tree until fall. Lol...
Good stuff!
I would love to see what advice you could give for finding sheds in Florida, pine forest and cypress swamps.
I've found almost all of my sheds walking on public land
I have never found a shed on my own property, given I have never owned over 8.5 acres, but at some point you would think "luck" would get you one. I have only found a handful of sheds and they are small. They were found in food plots and 2 on a trail on a ridge. I did find one a couple hundred yards away on a neighbors place. I have a pretty active place here and get some bedding all around my property and the small lease I have next door, so fingers crossed for this year. Bucks are currently still holding as the weather is very mild and not causing a winter stressor. I typically see deer holding into April here in Tennessee.
It’s really hard in pa to on public land the animals get to them first like squirrels and coyotes. But the few I have found was in thick habitat, or food source, I’ve never just found one in the open woods. But lower area trees will knock them off and I find them in there to. Good luck
I have 4 acres and I find around 15-20 each year. Food food food. Have the best food in town and they will come.
@@earthdimensionc-1378 yessir. Corn goes down day after season lol
We have snow that's a few feet deep.. found 1 😀
Been out the last 2 weekends on IL Public- no freshies for me yet.
Covering a lot of ground, but I’m no pro. Got some good eyes though.
Thanks Jeff getting out there soon
That's awesome, good luck!
Usually find them in the turnups & brassica plots.
Funny you brought up doe groups, that's something I ran into when I first started shed hunting. There's very heavily used trails and a lot of deer sign in my one area, but I could never find an antler there and it always baffled me. Then upon further investigation and running cameras, I discovered it's because the trail and deer sign is from a giant herd of does.
It is so common! Those bucks often go somewhere else when there are loud doe herds
I can tell you. Because of the winter we had, they will not drop until late February or early to mid-March, depending on food sources that are available. Most locations near me farmers leave a row or four rows of crop for deer. Which means the 1st or second week of March will be a better time to look. Sometime even late February if lucky. I saw man bucks with antlers last week.
INTERESTING , I live in the corner of Ohio counties, Richland/Crawford/Morrow
We shed hunt the same property every year. Last year we only found 3 total this year we’re up to 7 and only walked 2 times. You never really know where they are gonna drop they travel farther then you think it’s pretty Wild
What app do u use to show the property setups when u color in all the work and different projects?
I like how a lot of people putting out videos about attracting bucks have a bunch of night time pictures.😁
I see a new First Lite jacket/hoodie, can you touch on that yet Jeff? I also found two good sheds here in PA so far, really good 3 year old sheds it appeared
That's awesome Matt! I definitely will let you know on that hoodie with a link...they are actually available for purchase on Monday. It's a Furnace hoodie...pretty dang awesome!
I’d love to see a video and your thoughts on fetal programming. I’m really focusing on getting minerals into pregnant doe this winter and spring as we did last year. Prob gonna continue to do so for the next 2-3 years to see what kind of progress we’re making.
I have never found a shed either. But hoping to change that this year!
Go look for them around the suburbs small wood partials, parks , schools church's , you would not believe what kind of honey hole you might find for monster deer sheds .
I see you’re using some Tactacam trail cams now. Are you moving away from Exodus?
I’ve never found a shed, looked for hours! I was telling my dad about it a couple years ago, and he tells me he found on in the yard under some evergreens! One shed nice 10 point, maybe 4-5 years old.
10 point shed?? That’s awesome!
@@WobblyRooster oops! That would’ve been a nice find. I have to clarify a five point shed, most likely a 10 point deer.
I’ve never found a shed, but I only started looking for them last year. When you find one on a client property, do they typically give you the shed?
Hi Naomi ..I hope you can find one this season! I always make sure they keep them 😊
me watching a entire playlist about shed hunting knowing im probably never gonna go shed hunting unless i have absloulety nothing to do and cant go ice fishing: intresting
Indiana resident here. Haven't seen any of the 5 main bucks on camera drop an antler yet. Praying God helps me find the big guy.
Good luck Nick!
I thought I found a huge shed with triple brow tines then I noticed it had a hole drilled in it just above the base plate. Must of been half of someone's rattling antlers?
That's funny Tim 😄 I thought I was the only one to have this happen! About 10 years ago I found a five point side, one of my biggest, with a hole just like that. It was old and chewed a bit but I couldn't belive the chances of that. Especially since we find very few sheds in our area. Not many mature deer
Just found my first shed in ky today
Nice Collin that is awesome!!
I was surprised to see antlers on 4 bucks on my trail cam yesterday. Figured they would be gone this late in northern Michigan.
That does seem late!
SW MI I've seen one 1.5 year old with one missing. The rest are all still carrying them
Is this weekend to early to broadcast clover seeds in the mountains of Southern Virginia?
As long as there is no snow it's a great time!
so how late will they hold this year in central mn? i pulled a chip cam on tuesday and seen that buck dropped one on jan 24th and i went out yesterday and found the one he was still holding that i had on camera
We still have at least 1 holding 1 antler as of yesterday. A buddy across the river in WI has a beautiful 3 year old still holding as of the 22nd.
We still have majority still holding down here in VA
I can see that...we are likely less than 10 to 20%. They really dropped to a high degree over the past 2 weeks or so
picked up 53 this year so far in Pa.
WOW... pretty amazing!!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 had an interesting fall and winter here.
a good bit ahead of the normal #s by now for sure.
Small chance I'm right, but is the property at 3:28 for sale?
No, that's my property 😊
STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHEN THEY REALLY START TO SHED HERE IN N.C. !!!
Anyone know if they are still holding southern Minnesota
I had smaller bucks dropping antlers during muzzle loader season in Winona co. I live only 3 minutes from Jeff so i use his videos as a pretty accurate guide!! 🤣🤣
I started finding them mid-January in SE MN and SW WI. Most years, I don't start until around Valentine's Day (on private), but a lot of early drops this year. I often find big antlers early, but it's a fine line when you go to not bump bachelor groups out of the area.
What’s the new website name?
Hi Kurt...it isn't out quite yet but all of our blends are on the main site in our store. The new site will be www.whsseedblends.com
Thats something people dont really truly understand. Nature is BRUTALLY indifferent.
We'll never know how many we walk right by.🙄
First
Nice !
Super fast!
I've only have found sheds once it was a matching set with 22 inch main beams
Eight point
