There is so much snow over there its unreal.  I even tried near the river where it is always bare ground.  Hell, I have had Turkeys struttin and doing their thing this time of year.  Not this year.  Hope you guys find them.

what gets me are the dumb@#%$ out looking for sheds over here, frickin deer are stressed and there is still lots of snow, the worst winter we have had in 12 years. Lets go out and move deer around.

Weren't you the one posting shed pictures at Christmas time?

And your point Boneaddict? it was dec 13  during archery season, with less than 8" on the ground.

 Miles and your point please. and whats with the lawn comment.
Some of you guys have some growing up to do, get defensive about shed hunting when u shouldnt be right now in certain areas.Deer park has half the amount of snow where I am.

Some of us have some growing up to do?
Dude you are barking up the wrong tree my friend. choose your words carefully because we are all friends here.....
Shouldnt be in some areas?
And who's to tell us that walking into an area and scaring up a couple deer is going to kill them.....dude if walking into an area to find sheds spooks up a couple deer and they die from the excitement of watching us bone hunters then maybe those deer werent strong enough to make it to the next year anyways......Its the circle of life.....

Shane...Dude you need to relax and not be so offensive and carry on the way you do.  You came to this forum like that and really this place is great.  People can disagree but man you are just over the top.  I disagree with Pope on almost everthing, but I don't freak out and start cursing and being a jerk to him.  State your position on things but don't attack people, and don't hide behind how your just not going to stand for it.   A little self evaluation I think is in order.

shane you should calm down aggressive people like you are why i worry about taking my kids hunting during rifle season find a dear abbey for your rants grow up

I think Shane does have a point, not sure about his earlier posts. When in the Umtanum a few weeks ago, saw folks letting their dogs run free ahead of them, and I was watching sheep a long long ways off, they all bolted when the dogs ran free ahead of the hikers. We had hiked up within view to watch with no impact on the game, loose dog was different....

I think it is all about what type of activity the game see. A slow walk is far different than snowmobilers performing a grid search for any antler. I am sure that we all agree that shed hunters should not try to stress the wildlife.

Thankyou Iceman, there are states with shed hunting laws and you wouldnt be allowed in the woods right now to be looking for sheds,if we had more winters like this there would be laws.
  You guys need to calm down jc, my first post attacked nobody and no names, jesus, bunch of woman on here. I stated my stance on the issue, wait till the snow melts.What it seems to me people took offense to it,because they go out and do it themselves.
  I then wanted a anwser to my questions that I asked the 2 on here, still no response, I know exactly what was meant by them from 2 mo ago, please enlighten me Miles and Boneaddict. Simple really asked a question, you want to bring something up I will ask for an anwser.

 And spike I dont rifle hunt, good for you I guess by your post, LOL

[ICEMAN]

Shane, I agree with a point you are making, not your approach. I am sure I have my own way of pissing people off, but when you speak up in the middle of a thread about guys picking sheds up today, and then pop off with the "dumb@#%$ remark", guys are going to get a bit upset with you.

...what gets me are the dumb@#%$ out looking for sheds over here,

[wastickslinger]

Look at all that snow in those picture. I bet Duck killed 30 fawns today while shed hunting.  Give me a break Shane, just because there is snow at your place doesnt mean that there is snow everywher in E washinton. We have been without snow for a month here in Moses and central wa. The most we have at a time is a few inches.

I agree with being careful in the wintering areas with snow and large herds. but I dont think that is the case with this post. I think you should have started a new thread and directed your comments to others where you live and not generalized so much.

Again, great finds Duck!!! Too bad your thread got hijacked.

Well now.....isn't that special...?
