I saw about 10 different bucks on the way to and from work today. Some had both and some only had one and some you could tell had just dropped.

yesterday I bumped a lot of deer but did not get a good look at them most of the time. When I did get a good look, I saw at least one buck with full head gear, some does, some unidentified without headgear, and sitting in a parking lot at dusk I had a half rack buck and 2 doe come out into the grass.

I spent most of the day fertilizing my fruit and oak trees but as such was walking through some thick cover and also checked out my most used food plot. I found ZERO sheds. Based on trail camera pictures from years past, many if not most bucks around my area still have their antlers.
Still I was so sure I would find something in that one food plot. IT has tracks and trails all over it.

I looked at around 4000 pics this weekend and finally there starting to drop. Had several one horn bucks with bloody heads and a couple missing both sides. All my mature bucks still had both sides though...I'd say one or two more weeks and the big boys will have shed for the most part...

Have any of you tried one of these? I saw this a few eyars ago and just never got around to trying it.

The price is very steep but if you can weld, it wouldn't be nearly so expensive to throw somthing together with a bucket in the bottom for corn and a frame to hold rubber bungees the bucks could poke their heads through. There's still time to put one together this year in fact.
