Out here, I've never seen them on our property but we have them perusing the back road and cattle pastures all the time.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009248940946832200.post-17972696858383355132011-02-09T21:14:11.234-05:002011-02-09T21:14:11.234-05:00Thanks, Joe.

Do you use them for mock scrapes? Grind them up for medicinal purposes? Okay, enough with the questions, non-hunter girl... :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009248940946832200.post-33607497277828996072011-02-09T20:44:25.229-05:002011-02-09T20:44:25.229-05:00texwisgirl - When a buck looses(sheds)it's ant...texwisgirl - When a buck looses(sheds)it's antler we call them sheds. Shed hunting is walking around good deer habitat looking(hunting) for the antlers on the ground. I've never had a lot of luck with this type hunting but then I also don't put a lot of time into it.<br /><br />KB - Thanks. I've been to their site. It's great. I've tried a few things they mention on the site.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167025586708740663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009248940946832200.post-27543840046074151022011-02-09T19:56:56.047-05:002011-02-09T19:56:56.047-05:00They do look like "deer caught in the headlig...They do look like "deer caught in the headlights"... I don't know where you bought your cam but the staff at trailcampro.com is amazing with advice about how deal with things like the click of your cam. They'd probably even try to help you if you didn't buy it there.<br /><br />The shed is similarly late here - like April or so. <br /><br />Our wildlife seems to have gone deep into hiding with the extreme weather. I'm only getting coyotes near my house on my cams... but I expect that the bobcat will be coming to visit soon. He's gotta eat, right?KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009248940946832200.post-69056610327437746172011-02-09T18:59:52.004-05:002011-02-09T18:59:52.004-05:00I like that first photo: "Wha???"
