daughters first shed!
« on: January 13, 2009, 06:14:18 AM »
took my 2-1/2 year old daughter out shed hunting on Saturday and we found a couple. I spotted them and told her which way to walk, she had no problem spotting them and running over to pick them up. I think I better buy a backpack to put her in, after 6 or 7 miles with her in my arms and on my shoulders I was worn out. I also took my wife out last weekend and found 7 sheds. 2 fresh so far, a 71" and a 68" 4pt. Judging by the number and quality of bucks we've seen, it's going to be a great year. I'd also like to mention that I'm not pushing the deer around much. I wish the bucks would wander off some day that I'm there, we found 6 sheds in 1 small area but I couldn't go any farther because there were about a dozen bucks hanging out including a 30"-31" 4x5. I can't wait until the end of February! the pictures are too big, can someone resize them for me or tell me how?

Thats what I used was a backpack.  MUCH easier to balance, see and your arms don't fall off.

I tried a backpack last year and it was easier but one of her boots fell off and I had to back track a mile to find it. hehe. I guess I should tie them tighter!

Open the pics with Microsoft paint, most computers come with it. Resize them, cut them back to 20%. If you want just send it to me and I will do it. bigair163@hotmail.com

Been there, done that...

That is a cute photo!  Looks like she's got the fever for shed hunting now.
