Spent the holidays in Montana with family. Lots and lots of deer around, fun to see them. I think we saw 4 or 5 shedded out bucks as well. Seems pretty early to me, as I rarely found them much before the end of January.
I spotted a nice shed, went back and go my 3yo son and let him find his first. Pretty funny video. I prodded him along, and told him to watch for deer antlers, I just knew we were getting close... We found his bed where he laid after he shed and bled a bit, tracked him to his feeding area (10 yards) and the at 5ft he spotted it! So funny to see him get excited, pretty sure he was more excited to find the antler than some of his Christmas toys. Pure instinct.
Also watched a local POS stop along the road, tell his kid to run up into my parents yard and grab a shed off the lawn. Before we realized what had happened they were gone. Wasn't hard to track him down in a small town though. When confronted the next day he lied, and made up a story, including not having a son, nor being there at that time the day before. He wouldn't tell me his name either. If the kid would have come up to the house and knocked, I would have given him the other side. Quality parenting there. The dad needs his teeth knocked out.
Turned out he's known for stealing, lying, poaching, and in general a worthless piece of chit. He stole a winter killed bull elk off my parents property a couple years before. I never met the guy, so didn't know who he was.
