The Girls Rock the Shed Hunting on the C4!

Saturday morning we held the annual Big D Birthday Shed Hunting Extravaganza at the C4.....Sort of.....My birthday was back on March 3rd but according to the scout cam pics very few bucks had dropped their horns by that time so we had to postpone it a full month to give the bucks time to cast their antlers.



Shed hunting on the C4 is a family activity

 It was a beautiful day - 72 degrees and sunny skies - perfect. We decided to cover part of the creek bottom because it would be easier walking for my three year old grand daughter, Lizzy, and for Shelley who was carrying my baby grand daughter, Sadie, as well as the fact that lately we had been seeing a lot of deer using the food plots near the creek bottom. There is always a friendly competition between the guys and the gals to see who can find the most and best sheds.....but the gals are the most mouthy about it!

It wasn't long before April found the first one - and boy was it a good one! I was a good distance away from her but I heard her whooping and squealing loud and clear! At first I thought she had been snake bit but then I realized it was a celebration - and for good reason, take a look at the shed she found! It was gigantic! We later scored it at 124 6/8 - that is only ONE side, not the pair! She never let us live it down for the rest of the day!

A while later Shelley found an unusual looking matched set from a buck we call Kenneth (I know - strange name for a deer - but that's another story for another day). He had damaged the pedicle on his left side at some point causing him to grow a freak horn on that side with a 10" drop time. Both antlers were laying right next to each other - how often does that happen!?!?

By lunch time we had found a pretty good pile of "bones".  There are still a lot more of them out there but nobody knows where they are........but isn't that what makes it fun?
