Antlers Shed Hunting

Mine usually come apart where they get sewed together, not the last 2 sets though....

 

yeah my current ones are close or a little under a year old and they broke at the rubber where the leather meets. Plus they leak water obviously now.

 

I got these last Saturday to replace my other ones....

 

I'd be calling danner. They make better stuff than that.

 

its a double edged sword...neat to find antlers...sad/troubling you never saw the animal that dropped them...in some cases a trophy animal.

 

Another boot question/observation, does anyone else wear Irish Setters? I wear Red Wings all day for work, and Irish Setters are the best hiking boot I have found. They are made in China, but my feet don't care. This last pair has held up for 2 seasons, and my brothers Danner's didn't last one season. He keeps trying to talk me into Danner Pronghorns, maybe when these wear out.

 

I just picked up a set of Irish Setters, hopefully they last for longer then a week.

 

Clearly, the western states are brutal on boots!

I have to dodge deer in the off-seasons, but by god they turn invisible from Sept-Jan lol

 

Out morel hunting and came across number 7 for the year

 

Right on

 

Here's what I have so far for this year I'm not expecting any more unless I stumble upon them turkey hunting once the season opens at the end of the month

 

I wear Irish Setters for work. My company gives us an allowance at Red Wing and I can get Irish Setters without paying anything out of pocket. They are pretty comfortable for steel toes and they hold up pretty well. Haven't tried their hiking boots but their work boots are much better than the Georgia Boot mud dogs I used to get at tractor supply for the same price.

 

Dang!
How did he get hurt?
Was he hiking?

 

The guy was out looking for sheds,and he walked to far it got dark and said he fell down a steep hill hit he's knee cap,couldn't walk until next morning when hes pain calm down , i think he was very lucky bcoz about 5 years ago we had a young guy that went out looking fr sheds he got drop off by hes girlfriend and never made it back, to hes pickup area,he got lost, i remember that night,when the dude was missing ,bcoz we went out camping that night ,and boy it was freezing cold unfortunately the guy wasn't lucky a week later they found he's body in river with no clothes ...ever year in frist part of april we have lot people that get lost here ,lot of em are newbes to hiking looking fr sheds,wanting to mak e some $ , and lot don't know the area,we have been finding one (lost person) fr the past 4years straight true lol

 

guy tasked me to clean this moose skull he found. It was still covered in skin/cartilage. Looks good now, has a little smell to it but not like it was.

 

Finished, pics dont do it justice.

 

Nice....
Wish i could clean skulls like that

 

really not that difficult...just have to do it in an orderly fashion. Chemicals do most of the work
