Start hating. :P I will say I think we walked less then 2 hours the day we found those five. He went back to the area that we found the far right shed in and found the match to it.

Sounds like it is time to start pouring over the topo maps.   :twocents:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

If you saw the 8x8 where I think you did I know of a couple other guys that pounded that area really hard and never found a shed. And that area is loaded with deer and elk. Used to be my favorite cat spot.

I don't think topo maps would really help in this area.

Nice haul.  I have never looked for sheds, but run across them on occasion when hiking.  I usually grab them if they are not to bleached out, otherwise I leave them.
