First try posting pics, hopefully I did it right.  Boy, the pics don't capture the shed near as well as handling it!

That is a great find. Even better to find them on him around late October.  :drool:

Hmmmmm, this has me wondering if you could train a dog to hunt sheds ??

There are so many places to look here on the westside that there is no way to cover them all, and it is soooo thick, but a dog on the other hand can be trained to find anything.

Has anyone tried this ??

I did hear a dog could be trained to hunt antlers. You need to let them play with them at home and then train them with some. I am thinking my Brittany needs to start soon.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Robodad, killer idea.  I never thought about it but agree with Sky you could train a dog to find just about anything that left scent. 

Being a stingy reloader, many times duck hunting I've let my lab sniff a shell casing and then cast him into brush to find lost empties.  It works great.  You'd think a fresh shed like my buddy's boy found would hold enough scent to get it done.

YES, dogs can be trained to shed hunt.  I read an artical about it in one of my hunting magazines.  I probably still have it since I rearly throw any hunting magazines away.
