Just to start out, i am not trying point fingers or ruffle any feathers, but what is this sense of entitlement people feel they have. I think shed hunting is a very enjoyable and rewarding form of recreation. I dont know what the big deal is if other people go out looking for them, after all it is public land. At last check, there are no rules regulating shed hunting with the exeptions of winter range closures, and removal of antlers attached to the skull. I say, as long as people are being responsible, by obeying property laws, and not pushing wildlife around, who gives. I know if i ever crest a ridge and see deer/ elk over the hill, i back out of the area. But if you are putting down a sport that you so actively and passionately persue, because others are out there too is no different than saying you arent going to go to a watch a football game because there are already too many people watching it, or saying im not going to work, because there are already too many people with a job.....and to that i say....REALLY, come on. If the game department chooses to regulat shed huntin by enacting a season/ limits/ of liscense, i will gladly pay, because just as i enjoy hunting, and fishing, and other outdoor activities, i also am fully aware that it is a prividege, not an entitlement.
