Have any INGOer's been out shed hunting yet? Might be a little early but I'm thinking now is a good time to begin. So far I've not found any but I'm always hopeful.
I began finding them in late January. I set out a shed trap (piece of fence in a V shape with a pile of corn) at the end of January and plan to check it later this week to see if it has worked at all.
I went out looking for a couple hours yesterday and found a 3 pt right side with 2 stickers on the base. I found it on a trail that is bush-hogged through CRP. It was laying right on the trail. anyone else have any luck? I plan to mow all of the CRP next week (as long as the ground is not too wet) so I will keep my eye out while on the tractor. I usually find antlers/carcus'/etc. everytime I mow for the year.
I've found four so far, nothing very big yet though. Been a slow year this year for me, but most of my best places are inaccessible due to flood water.
Couple weeks ago one of the lady mail carriers in our office had to stop for a herd of deer crossing road, back in woods she saw a buck with one horn. As it spooked and ran off that horn fell off. She proudly showed it off in the post office.
What are the laws in Indiana about this? I have a few places I can try but dont want to get into trouble. I have some private and some state ground near me.
