Any SETx hunters finding sheds or pics of deer that have shed their antlers?

None here in Newton county.

Javelin · 02-01-2019, 01:02 PM

lots of deer in polk county started shedding in december, but my lease has been under water so I have not got to look for sheds

Really? December? Wow. Post pics when you find some.

I probably wont this year since the water has been so high, but yes we have deer drop every year at or around Christmas as do most of my friends with leases in polk, trinity, houston and angelina counties

This guy shed early....... (Polk/Tyler)

let-um-grow · 02-01-2019, 03:33 PM

Hunted weekend of January 18th and 30% of the bucks we saw had dropped already.....

antonlsu · 02-01-2019, 03:47 PM

Hunt in Victoria, haven't seen any bucks drop yet.

LivinADream · 02-01-2019, 03:57 PM

Everything I'm seeing in Jasper county is still holding on. (as of yesterday). Matter of fact, I found a fresh scrape yesterday at one of my feeders.

Same here LivinADream. Got a pic in Jan a buck chasing a doe.

ttaxidermy · 02-01-2019, 04:08 PM

Dropping in Brazoria county.

HFDENGINE08 · 02-03-2019, 11:17 AM

none yet for us!

Greenheadless · 02-03-2019, 11:25 AM

I would say more than 50% of our have dropped their by now based on observations and camera pics.

MDemel · 02-03-2019, 11:25 AM

None yet, hopefully they drop this week before we head down.

SETXHUNT0902 · 02-04-2019, 10:22 AM

According to my trail cams a bunch of my bucks starting shedding around the second week of january.

GarGuy · 02-04-2019, 01:44 PM

That’s most likely a social scrape, deer make and use these year round.

I had my first one show up Saturday night without his headgear. Sabine County.

TWOHunter · 02-04-2019, 04:58 PM

My first pic in Newton county of a buck that shed his horns was on 1/28

Big pig · 02-04-2019, 05:06 PM

I never have opossums under my feeders.
They eating corn or something else

I didn’t see any horns in Leon county this weekend.
But most deer I saw were after dark or far off.

Ahhhh, thank you!

Razrbk89 · 02-10-2019, 08:42 PM

Different area, but I found some around the house yesterday morning. Had pretty good luck but didn’t find a matching set!

Going to go walk at deer camp one day this week to see what I can gather up. I’d say all of ours will be shed in the next week or so.

lovemylegacy · 02-11-2019, 11:46 AM

Now you just showing off.

Etxbuckman · 02-11-2019, 11:56 AM

I don't know how anybody can purposely find sheds in east TX, especially the pine thickets. I scour SMZ's and the edges and haven't found one in 7 or 8 years. That one just happened to be laying right underneath my feeder.

I’ll freely admit that it’s much more luck than skill.

I find them in plots and fields, I barely even look in the woods unless it’s on a trail. Just too hard for me to see them with my vision.

I typically have a pretty good number of bucks hitting my plots this time of year so that increases my chances of easy finds.

You can. Admittedly it isn't like Midwest shed hunting, but you can do it. Clearcuts, fifth rows, trails, bedding areas. I found 3 consecutive year sheds from the same buck in the same place. So if I can do it, you can do. You must cover a lot of ground.
