Went shed hunting

Ended up walking around 5 miles total.
Came across this first, looked to be a young button buck I’m guessing.
Looked to my left and this was laying under the pine needles about 10 foot from the skeleton. All I saw was about 2 inches of the top of horns sticking out.
Wish I would’ve found the sheds of the deer that made this rub.
Almost shite my pants when I about stepped on this dude. But pretty sure it’s a rat snake, the color threw me off since it was light gray. Maybe TigerDad can identify it.

Love doing this. A buddy of mine where I live is a shed magnet. He has unreal pairs of 5x5 and 6x6 elk horns that I want to steal.

It's amazing what you can find this time of year before all the thickets come back.
I don't think that's a rat snake. Maybe a racer of some kind...
Alxtgr will be here soon to correct me.

I have a better chance of finding a $100 bill in the woods than finding a shed. I’m horrible at shed hunting.

Yeah, looks like a blue racer.

Ifound close to 20 sheds last year in the woods behind the house. I usually walk about 4 miles each time I go.
Bucks on camera still have antlers here (St Tammany) for the most part. One dropped a side and I found it this past weekend along with a shed from last year.
Based off last years finds, this weekend coming up should start to get good.

only set I found side by side together

I still found enough briars patches to last me a life time. The pants I was wearing had a hole in the knee so I got tore up on that knee and my arms.
I started out on gale trails that were wide and easy to walk. A lot of them ending up becoming a thick mess and instead of turning around, I kept on trucking until I hit a road. That’s the good thing about where I hunt, you’ll never get lost due to always coming across trail/road throughout the lease.

I’ll probably invest a pair like that. I wasn’t planning on shed hunting. I got into a spot that was brutal and kept getting cut over the same spot.

Either those carharts or look at the Filson double tin chaps.

Deer in central west Texas haven’t dropped yet prob soon. Saw two nice 8 points Tuesday.
