Shed hunt 2011 (February 20)

After having a great shed hunting day yesterday, I felt like I had to try and get after it today also. I woke up early and was going to take it easy as my feet and legs hurt from the hike from the day before, but it was too nice and felt like I should go for a couple of hours and just binocular some wheat fields. Im glad I did! I didnt find a single antler glassing wheat fields but on the way out I spotted what I call a 50 mph road shed. Driving along and noticed this antler on the other side of the fence. I was excited so I hurried and took a picture of it and noticed another antler on the opposite side of the fence. I though for sure I just found a set, but I was wrong. Another deer jumped this fence on this trail and shed his antler also. I walked up a the trail a bit to try to find one of the other sides but no luck. Watching fencelines where deer trails cross them have been really paying off for me this year as I found 7 or 8 by doing this.
If you look close you can see both antlers in this picture.



After glassing another wheat field I decided to walk this narrow hay draw leading to the wheat and stumbled across this nice 5 point!
