85 Blacktail horns, not counting the dozen or so chew toys that I've thrown out in the yard (hard on the mower)  Close to 100!

Now THAT's impressive!

32 rosie's 4 sets, 0 deer.  Can't find a blacktail shed if my life depended on it.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

Alan K, finding 85 blacktail sheds impresses me more than any of this!  I have to ask, does your lab help out?  I just got a yellow lab and the only thing I let her chew on is antler and am constantly playing fetch with it.  She's about 4 months old and I hope she helps me next year with deer.  Elk is no problem since I live right next to the Loowit valley.

ya, my hats off to the guys that find that many and have a job :tup:( and keeping the family intact ;)!  I get irritated with some of these guys that I know are living off the Gov. :bash:   .....   

Its called working for the Forest Service and having manditory furlough during the winter months.  :chuckle:

Even then, I can't get too mad at folks in the natural resource field who shed hunt and job hunt in the winter months... landing a permanant position is very difficult these days! Its hard to make those general broadcast "guys who live off the government" comments when there are so many variables... construction workers don't really have much work in the winter either. I'd be careful if I were you with this kind of comment... there are a lot of displaced workers that time of the year that draw unemployment and shed hunt. It doesn't mean they aren't looking for work, too.  :twocents:
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

I don't think having or not having a job is a major factor.  Between my two buddys and I we picked up over a hundred Elk sheds this year in our area.  It's more of how bad you want them. We all have full time jobs and id drive 40 minutes one way as many times as I could between two girls playing ball, practices, and games to have a chance at picking one antler up.  I was going strong and still finding one Everytime out tell I got ill from a hital hernia. I had to stop at 32, but my buddy kept at it and found over 60 elk sheds.  Also took my 7 year old daughter and she found her first, I was the proudest daddy in the would that day, she was pretty proud too.
