Deer season is officially over for the 2022-23 season in Pennsylvania.  The general narrative from this point on is cabin fever until spring turkey season.  For every diehard deer hunter though, there is always something to be doing to prepare for next fall.  Whether you're cutting timber and travel corridors on private land or scouting new  ground on public land, the hunt never quite ends.  This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Dwayne Jones from Shed Season.

Dwayne is just as crazy about scouring the landscape for fallen antlers as he is sitting in a deer stand - maybe more!  We discuss Dwayne's recent property purchase and how he has begun to transform the land into a whitetail mecca.  Dwayne shares the habitat projects in place including timber management, prescribed fire, invasive species removal, and of course, food plots.  From here we dive into the beloved topic of pursuing mature bucks not only during the hunting season, but also during the months of February and March when antlers are falling.  The attraction created on Dwayne's property is not only good for hunting, it's good for sheds!   We cover strategies to find more antlers, putting the pieces of the puzzle together on mature bucks using shed antlers, and the added joy during the offseason for him and his family!
