My Shed hunting and mushroom hunting are similar come out empty 99% of the time.

Nice finds Bruce  :thumbsup:

I’m glad to see others are starting to have some luck. I’ve still got several areas to search.

Kenny, I hope Renee didn’t rub it in too bad.  :biglaugh: But don’t feel bad, I’ve darn near stepped on some before I spotted them. And I’ve been showed up several times by youngsters. I think they stay focused and don’t get distracted looking for sign and good stand sites  :saywhat:

We just got another 6 inches of snow here,  it'll be a while before I can get out looking for sheds.  On the plus side fresh bunny tracks will be easy for me and my boy to find.

Me and a bud have put in about 8miles the past couple days doin our version of social distancing.
He found one antler that was broke off back in November. I found one little shed to bring me to 12 so far this year.

Only me, Zwickey blew out her crcl in a back leg and needs to lose some weight before fixing it. She’s on three legs right now. She weighed in at 104 at the vet...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I found these last week on my Javi Hunt.  It was pretty cool how this bed was positioned directly south of a large feeder and box blind. Perfect for a north wind during the rut and. This buck could watch the hunter access his stand while scent checking the feeder for does.
The single antler was less than 30 yrds from the pair.

My brother has been training a young lab to find sheds and she's showing a lot of promise, already found one in the wild buried under the snow.   Another 3 weeks and we should have enough melt to do some serious searching, I got a couple monsters I'm after.
All the best to your pup, I hope she has a quick recovery and is by your side in the field before you know it.
