Shed hunting

What do you do with them after you find them? Or is it more of an excuse just to get out of the house and into the woods?

Yes it is great exercise and is a very good scouting tool for next season as well. I also collect them and could sell them if I wanted to. They have value especially the larger ones.

This shed hunting might not be to bad...I just read a small article in Outdoor Life referencing this very topic, only difference is the author was writing about using his dog to hyunt for the sheds.

Mhall....I may have to hook up with you sometime and buy one of these sheds from you...I have a bird dog that is completely head over hills bonkers about hunting, tracking, you name it. Her main interests are squirrels, rabbits and of course birds. This might be something her and I could get into.

Tim I'll give you a few sheds if you want them I have a boat load. Dogs trained early as pups to be shed hunters are awesome, they can flat out find some sheds. If it EVER quits snowing I'll get back out there, they are almost impossible to find in the snow.

Found another decent 4 point side yesterday afternoon. Squirrells had already been chewing pretty good on it.

I found a decent five point side 55 inches and a little change, not a monster but very symetrical. Also found two skulls, one small and one a nice 8 point frame with alot of knarly stickers.

We need to discuss this further. I want to try and hunt some of my own...Got a large chunk of land to hunt for them almost 400 acres in 2 different plots.

Laying in a wide open field, Stevie Wonder could have found this shed..

I saw a bedded buck yesterday without his headgear. Congrats on finding the "Stevie Wonder" shed!

Hey Creek I went for a long walk after work Friday and didn't find any sheds but did find a nice 8 point rack. Buck looked to be dead a month or two. Not a monster by any stretch but a nice two and a half year old. Had long tines and a decent spread.
