    i think the hoss resides solely on the prized property where dawg spends a lot of his time, which for dawg is a very good thing, there is not a snowball's chance in hell i find those sheds unless dawg is a nice guy and invites the newly to accompany him on his next shed hunt, which i'm betting ain't gonna happen...

    I would love to but I am not allowed to take anyone with me due to it being owned by my place of employment! I wish I could because the first person to go with me would be my daughter. She has yet to find her first shed on her own. One day she will but it is much tougher everywhere we go due to shed hunters. There are a bunch around here. I have even thought about going to Canada with her on a shed hunt but not sure yet. I want to find some elk and moose sheds.

    What a day again! I went to my honey hole today and did not find any for 4 hours. I then walked on the edge of some property that is owned by another owner who has been told to stop trespassing on the property that I walk. I then noticed a small 4 point shed in his field about 10 yards off the property line. Since it was on his property I did not go get it since I am sure I would not of been welcome. He was out earlier in the evening and I am sure he was watching. So I chalked that one up as a possible. I did go on a 4 wheeler ride and found three others. Here they are:

    Yesterday I went for a walk and this is what I found. Here is a picture of the 4 point shed in the field that is owned by a disgruntled man that I can not go get! I also am going out again today!

    I got a different angle at the guys shooting box and it is the guy that has been told to stay off the property. I saw his trail cam mounted on the box. He is trying to get us to go over to get the antler on his property now. NOT! I stood there for a minute then took pictures of the shed again and then the box and shed together. Next thing I know here he comes from his house on his 4-Wheeler and to a surprise to him the shed was still there! HE HE HE!!!!! He drove in between the shed and the hut then followed me for a minute until I stopped then he went across the field. I guess he did not want to talk! LOL Cant get me sucker!

    Would that guy be mr. Long. That looks like his field that is next to the prison property? Or am I way off?

    Went for a walk this morning after the rain that we got. I was not even 5 minutes into my walk when I found a nice 5 point side. Then I jumped a herd of about 20 deer with one of them sporting a half rack. I looked all over the property until my legs got tired and did not find it. I did manage to find another small 4 point shed. Here are my pictures from todays finds and half racked buck.
