Took my 3 boys out with a buddy and his son yesterday for our first time actively shed hunting. It was a great excuse to get out of the house on a gorgeous day and tromp around outdoors. We headed up to Wenas area, but still quite a bit of snow up there. We hiked up throught the snow to a ridgeline for good measure anyway and let the boys get some target practice in.
We then found some open hills sides a little further north of there where we could actually see the ground and look for sheds, but came up with nothing. Great time overall for the boys to hike around with their packs on and carrying their .22 rifles, practicing GPS & firestarting skills and excercising the legs and lungs. It did kill me to drive along Canyon Road from Ellensburg, along the Yakima River, without being able to stop and wet a line!! Beautiful day for it. A couple more weeks and I'll be back over to do just that, without the boys.
