During the winter months,
when a whitetail buck casts off his crown, each antler falls to the ground, where they remain until warm weather and the spring thaw makes them magically reappear. Finding sheds is as a good tool
for gauging the quality of deer woods. Shed antlers typically give an indication of the bucks that made it through the hunting season and, at least part of the winter season, hopefully to live another year and pass on their genetics. For a whitetail aficionado,
hunting for sheds is like mining for gold to a Klondike prospector. Finding sheds requires a few key elements. First you need a prime area where deer have wintered, and second you need to be quick about it. Soon after the snow has melted, critters like squirrels and porcupines will be out in full force making short work of that tasty calcified bone. Good luck, keep your nose
to the ground, and happy antler hunting!
TURKEY HUNTING WE WILL GO When the annual April 25th
opening day of Wild Turkey season arrives, local gobbler gurus will be out in full force. Successful hunters are reminded that they must report their harvested turkey by calling 1 (800) 288-1155, and providing the requested harvest information no later than 12 noon the day after the bird was taken. Once you complete your harvest report, you will be provided with a confirmation number. Record the confirmation number and keep it as a record that you have reported. Some folks get caught up in the moment, and you would hate to ruin a great hunt by getting in trouble.
