With February now upon us, the unofficial start of shed hunting season is pretty much here! And with the ever growing interest in shed hunting, I’ve decided that we can do a better job here on Wired To Hunt of  showcasing some of the awesome sheds being found out there. So how do I plan [...]

Well. He’s certainly not anything to get too excited about, but this little fella is the first buck I’ve seen so far this year that’s shed an antler. And THAT is exciting. The first phase of the 2012 season will be kicking off soon with shed hunting and I can not wait. My plan for [...]

  I finally did it. After dreaming of having my own four legged hunting buddy for years, I finally bought my own dog. So, may I now introduce you to Booner. Affectionately named after the legendary giant whitetails we chase year in and year out, Booner will be my companion in the woods during the [...]

As we cruised north on Interstate 75 heading home to Michigan, I couldn’t help but feel satisfied. To be honest that was in part because I just relieved myself after 3 hours stuck in the truck. But also because of the results of our weekend in Ohio!  Did we have a good shed hunting weekend? [...]

Deer lose their antlers every spring because of their changing hormones, specifically testosterone and that’s all there is to it. But the process [...]

The search for fallen antlers is an increasingly popular activity and I’ve certainly fallen prey to the allure of finding bonus bone on the forest floor myself! Although the peak of shed hunting [...]

This time of year many sportsmen are gearing up for turkey hunting or are cleaning out the bass boat, but there a select few of us who are already preparing for our pursuit of whitetails in the fall. For those of us that dream of droptines and doe’s in estrus, there is no down time. [...]

Nine years ago I set foot into my first pasture with aspirations of finding a treasure.  The treasure was a shed antler.  That amazing thing that came into existence 8 months prior would hold my attention like a diamond would to a woman and still does to this day.  Shed antlers are the journals of whitetail deer.  They show the [...]
