Antlers Shed Hunting

So a girl I work with wants to go shed hunt sometime. I suck at shed hunting and basically have ware out a few pairs a boots to find them every year.

Buuuut this girl happens to have property on one of the limited entry units around me and her place hasn't had any sort of hunting on it in YEARS.

It'll probably stocked full of sheds. I feel like if I go I'll end up feeling guilty about it all hahah.

 

maybe you can get access to the acreage if friendship developes?

 

I kinda doubt it ha

 

New to the shed hunting game so I haven't even been through one pair, but I use the Nike sfb 8" in coyote. They've been with me through a deployment, 2 years at my job, and hundreds of miles looking for antlers. Still wearing them!

Best day of shed hunting yet:

Best set to date, 189" and change desert muley:

 

Every time I start to clean one I either get busy on something else and forget or my dogs get to it lol,what kind of chemicals you use

 

NIICCE..

 

I have a Craigslist ad and I got trolled by someone...either I have better results or better prices...which mine arent unreasonable. lol oh well

 

Found a nice set of Elk sheds on my property this year. One of the sheds was faded more than the other one from the sun. Gave them to my buddy for his fly shop. I'll try to get some picks.

 

depends on the animal but just the bleaching/cleaning is from $40-$300. Ive seen some moose euro mounts asking price for $2000. Just depends on condition...

 

Found this absolute tank this morning in some low desert where mass is not a prominent characteristic. Biggest circumference near the base is just shy of 8", and the H3 measurement is 5.5"! Talk about an old, heavy SOB!

 

Southwestern Pennsylvania matching set. Photo does not do justice the true size.

 

If no one found those till now, Id bet theres little to no hunting pressure there...good luck if you are trying to get him!

 

Found them April 1 2017 just found this thread..Didn't see him during archery season Monday is the first day of Rifle heading to that area.

 

our deer out here are starting to rut...they arent full rut yet but we are seeing more bucks on camera. Doesnt matter for us since we are tagged out. We got a couple nice does for freezer meat!

 

I recently acquired 20+ acres in Southern Ohio, I think I just found a new hobby for my 5 year old and I to partake in.
Also i'm now looking at $200 boots, thanks A-holes lol.

 

Go look at kenetreks or crispis.... they’ll kill your wallet but your feet will love you

 

Thanks, i'll check them out, also does Amazon carry anything good?

EDIT: Sorry I was lazy, Amazon does have them. Holy cow, you weren't kidding lol.

 

But theyre super nice. I have 2 pairs hahaha 1 for summer, 1 for winter.

 

Id say you should be able to find something on 20acres, depends on the surrounding area and if anyone else goes through there. Ive yet to find anything on my 8.83 hunting acres. I did find a small antler this spring close to our house which is on 5.5 acres

 

Time to refresh an old thread. Found 2 today.
