Tried in the past to feed them and then go look for antlers and no luck finding them.  I think I would have to feed them all winter and it would cost too much and it is too hard to get food out to them in the deep snow some years as well.  I didn't have much time to get out either and instead of shed hunting I took the kids fishing a couple times instead which was more rewarding for sure. 

I can't wait to get back at the trail cams! Nube your pics are always wicked!!

Yeah brother in law. Same one I hit with my bow 3 weeks earlier.......................netted 203 and change and grossed 210"

I had 18 cameras out at one time once.  Most of these deer I don't hunt.  I have my spots I like to feed them.  They are kind of my babies but in the past couple years they have all died off so I am starting from scratch again.  There will be a couple 170+ this year but not the real good ones like it used to be.  I didn't hunt whitetails much last year.  I think I only put in 5 days and it will probably be about the same this year so I don't expect to get too much

Tried but never found any.  It is all bush area and hard to find horn in.  Funny thing is that a lot of those deer I saw year after year.  One deer I started feeding at about age 4 and was about a 160" buck and I got one pic of him last year and he dissapeared.  I had pics of him for 4 years and died at 8 years old I figured.  Lots of the others have watched for 2-3 years.  It is real cool to see what they turn into.  You really get a good idea of the genetics in an area as well.  You can learn so much watching them year after year.

I love building history with deer. That tall 5x5 I have never seen but I picked his sheds up from about 1km from where he was living this fall. That nasty non typical we hunted for 2 years and only seen him twice. He now rests at the taxidermist waiting for a floor pedestal so my brother in law can take him home. That bottom typical I arrowed and he's resting on my wall. I hope I can find that palmated buck and see if he's alive.

Thanks Justin, I kind of have this Shed antler fetish ,,
Do you have an antler pile or do you do anything with your sheds... I have some interesting ones but nothing of the caliber your finding. I guess the Bush is thicker up here and the steep river banks where i look for the Mulie sheds  make it tough to find some of the big guys i am looking for.
