[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5282925, member: 1409"] That said, I commonly do find some in late January, albeit it's a tiny percentage of the bucks typically shedding before February. Most of the ones I find in late January thru early February are actually from the prior year's shedding. What often happens is that bucks shed [I]AFTER [/I]a lot of weeds, honeysuckle, and blackberry begin rapidly growing. It's very hard to see a shed that's on the ground among waist-high blackberry briars leafing out. But late winter the next year, they're often easy to see. The ones that are most camouflaged (like in a briar patch), often survive a year with little damage, albeit if rabbits find them, they can be totally consumed. Sheds dropped in open hardwoods will often get quickly eaten by squirrels, although sometimes they just totally overlook them as well. [/QUOTE]
