Shed Hunting

April 20, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

If you really want to kshed hunting blog photonow the kind of deer your property has on it, try finding sheds. Though whitetails can drop their horns as early as January, most deer in Texas lose them in March. So now is the prime time for shed hunting. It doesn’t just entail walking around your ranch looking at the ground in every direction. There are some concrete ways to put yourself in the right areas. First, wherever the deer spend most of their time, especially at night, is often the best place to look. Next, with the recent rains, try looking in big fields where clover and various forbs are growing.

Sheds are one of the coolest things about whitetail deer; they grow antlers very similar in size and shape to the year before, only bigger. Characteristics like beam length, tine length, kicker tines, and beading will typically bae the same from year-to-year. If you want to know how big your deer were the year before, find some sheds. You can trace deer from year to year and track their growth. They also make great decorations and crafts (knife handles, lamps or hat racks). Or you could use them to practice taxidermy.

Another great benefit to shed hunting is getting to see your land up close and personal. Walking through fields, draws and brush can oftentimes help you more than anything in scouting for next season. So if you’re missing being at the deer lease or you’re out turkey hunting, keep your eyes open for a great whitetail shed!

Fishing & Hunting Texas

Let’s talk Garmin Force. Check out this video for a few reasons why I love this trolling motor.

Garmin Fish & Hunt #garminpro #fishgarmin #fishinghuntingtexas

The Garmin Force Freshwater Trolling Motor is the most powerful and most efficient motor available. It has the power you need to counter winds and currents with the efficiency to fish all day. Wireless chartplotter integration and built-in autopilot get you to fish, along with anchor lock to stay on them. Wireless foot pedal provides instant control and responsiveness - feels and steers like a cable-steered pedal.

Fishing was brutally tough so I was thankful for every bass I caught this week, but unfortunately it was only good enough to finish middle of the pack in 52nd. Time to put it behind me and gear up for the next one. #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #powerpole #garminpro #thmarineteam #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks ...

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020.
