The Peak Antler Shedding Period is starting to take place. The peak shedding period for whitetails has traditionally shown itself to begin the last week of February and continue thru into the 1st 2 r 3 weeks of March. Although I have experienced seeing the occasional buck still sporting racks during the spring turkey season the majority of bucks will normally drop their head gear end of February into 1st of March. As you can see, we still have a few carrying full racks, some half racks where others have dropped a few weeks ago. But it's almost time to take those long walks into every crevice of your favorite hunting areas in search of the ever so coveted white gold of an antler. It's always best to just focus on thorough scouting & prepping your areas while constantly looking for antlers to stand out against the forest floors. Never miss an overcast day to go as those are the absolute best conditions for locating antlers in hidden spaces.
Best of Luck to everyone on your shed hunting adventures this spring and may you find that specific set of antlers from the one that got away last year. www.backwoodswhitetails.com
FOR ANYONE INTERESTED....We still have the following availabilities for this year's up & coming 2026 Illinois Whitetail Deer Season.
One (1) Archery opening from November 14th - 18th
One (1) 1st Season Gun Opening from November 20th - 22nd
