Geese in the morning and get after the bucks in the afternoon. They are just starting to come out of hiding...

Forget the bucks, focus on the sky carp
I agree with Limb that the bucks are maybe getting over the warfare known as shotgun season. I've seen many bucks the last 5 days carrying full head gear (only a couple of shooters, but not somewhere I could get at them). I wouldn't drag them by the antlers and they might pop one off on a death run, but why not give it a try? Taxidermists can re-attach them and the only problem is trying to get them in the "books", not something I'm too concerned with. YMMV.

No way am I giving up a chace at a booner for a few sky carp, I mean I love to goose hunt but any chance a buck can still go down I am out there, I am heading to IL next week with a bow to try and finish off the year.
As far as shed bucks, I bet it depends on what area you are hunting, I saw three shooters tonight on my drive home, 2 by state ground one on private and the 2 by stand ground well, lets just say they weren't small. As far as shed bucks, a few might have dropped but only the hurt and heavily pressured. I shot a buck on Weds and dragged him out by the horns for over a mile, no harm done. The weather looks like it might turn in your favor to see a big boy tomorrow afternoon.

If I still had a tag I would be out there every chance I could.I would be hunting in the timber more right now,I would doubt that the bigger buck's are coming out into the field's much before dark unless your hunting a piece of private ground that has not been pressured.
Keep at it and good luck.
