Springfield – Shed Shed Hunting Season for the Summit in Illinois and many other popular white states, and even after the top there are always sheds to be found – usually random, unparalleled antlers.
Every motivation needed to continue hunting in delayed winter and early spring comes from Lindsay Thomas, Jr., Communication Director with National Deer AssociationWho recently shared a report This looks likely to find a antlers.
There are real data that suggests that the sets of matching antlers are usually not so far from each other, although in fact finding a matching pair can certainly be complex.
Thomas points to the study conducted by Brian Peterson of the University of Nebraska in Kearney. Peterson, a biologist of wild nature and coordinator of the online master’s degree in UNK, and co -founder of Casey Schoenebeck examined the distances between the matched sets of the shed they found in 2010–2022. They used measures (1 meter equal to 3.2 feet).
“Every February, March and April during these 13 years, they thoroughly searched 38 real estate from 40 to 950 acres,” said Thomas. “Some antlers are of course matched because they have been very close to each other. To confirm that the matches have fallen far, the team was looking for symmetry in a specific set of features.”

Peterson’s findings:
• The UNK collection includes 142 matching pairs of shed – the team knows the distances between their locations for 113 of these couples.
• Out of 113 matched pairs, the largest distance between the matching set was 1144 meters, while the closest one was below 1 meter.
• Most of them were found very close together, with half (56) pairs lying from each other up to 10 meters. Another 27 pairs were found from 10 to 100 meters from each other.
• Only seven fitted pairs separated over 500 meters.
• out of 1059 collected and evaluated and evaluated gears, 775 of them were a single without a match.
• Counting 142 matched pairs as one deer, the research team found only a matching set for 13% of bucks that contributed to antlers to their collection.
• Most of the annual sets, 71%, fell at a distance of 10 meters from each other. Among the older bucks, 41% landed in this close range.
“There are many incomparable antlers that will probably never be found, regardless of whether they are available in the property you are looking for or not,” said Peterson Thomas.
