In the bush ATL
« on: February 07, 2012, 01:21:54 PM »
This is a pretty good 3, but it never hit the ground, it was about 3 feet stuck in the sage. Got a couple more good ones today.

Kinda new to the site. I have only hunted for blacktail sheds and man its tough. I am lucky to find as many in one year as you do in a day!!! Might be worth making a few trips over with a few buddies to start looking around I guess. Looks open and easy to spot them.

actually no one is paying, I have no income and I do not collect unemployment. I just lost my dream job and instead of getting a new one screw it, dont really care about loosing my house or truck or anything for that matter. Its all material *censored* and really dont care. Sheds are more important to me and I will hike everyday until we are living on the street, then I might find a job. I did not ask to loose my job but the Chelan county PUD is a F$%$@$ joke.  Tell me I work to much, that I need to calm down and take it down a notch, I guess I am not good at standing around and doing nothing.  So now screw it all, we may die tomorrow and I want as many sheds as possable before that day.

Live in the hills out of a tent, the commute time to the shed grounds will be shorter.

Sorry to hear about losing your job man. Probably none of my business but I cant help notice from pictures that you have kids. Seems like the kids should come before sheds. You say you dont care if they take your truck and your house as long as you have lots of sheds. So what about the kids and wife, do they only care about sheds too? Seems like they might want a vehicle and a place to live. Tough times right now I know but not sure your answer is in the hills finding horns every day bud.

Good luck on the job search.

So you lost your job at the PUD because you work too hard?    :chuckle: They don't hire wireman apprentice just to let them go 6 months later. 

I would bet you losing your job had more to do with where your priorites lie... I would think a father of 3 would do whatever it takes to keep a job with Chelan County PUD rather than being excited to lose it so he can shed hunt.  :dunno:

You seem to be "in between careers" every shed season.  :chuckle:

Good timing on your part, or luck?

You going to dust off the shed collection when you're cleaning the house?

Don't let everyone get to you antlerking.  I am in the same boat as you, we just finished up a house last week, so where have I been every day this week.  In the woods!  Sure there are other work related things I could be doing, but it is the last thing on my mind.  Some people can't wait for opening day of hunting season, myself included, but the older I get the more I enjoy shed hunting.  I passed quite a few bucks with my late muzzy tag, hoping that I would be able to find their sheds.  I can't explain why exactly but shed season is my favorite time of year.

Shed hunting every day huh. Maybe someday soon you will look back and say, "damn I wish I had taken my wife to Hawaii for a week while I was between careers. Or man I should have been picking the kids up from school and taking them sledding and to the park. And so on." Take the opportunity while in between careers to enjoy life with your family. Its one thing to get out of the house a few times but to be so over the top is just not okay in my book.

You said your truck and houses are material and all you want are sheds? Hate to be the one to tell you this but the sheds are not majical keys to the next life, they are just a material as your truck and house, only less important. The welfare of your wife and kids are not material and making them live on the street because your not responsible is embarassing. You may have some tax return or something but why not put that away for the kids college and get back to work right away? Ya, work sucks. Ya, economy sucks. Ya, you caught a bad break with PUD. So what.  Toughen up!!

This is not a Shad bash session from me but a wake up Shad session.

Different strokes for dif. folks, Can I get an AMEN II , Il get back to ya but for now I need to get back up the hill!

You guys have your life and I have mine, I am not looking for sympathy, just enjoy finding sheds and sharing a few photos.

I am to sure how we got off track but for some you that cant look at pics and then not be able to refraim from posting work related comments, FIRE AWAY lets see what you got.


the whole "You guys have your life and I have mine" comment makes me question... don't you have a few lives to look after?

My guess is you asked to be laid off for a couple months so that you could do your thing, and collect unemployment. Then they canned you.

Personally I really enjoy looking at his pics and with all you a-holes on here he may never post another.  I have an idea, if you can't look at the shed hunting bored and enjoy the pics stay off it.  If everyone gets criticized every time they post because everyone is jealous they can't find any, the guys that have pics to share stop sharing them.  :twocents:

You guy are all pathetic and should leave his personal life out of it. You should say nice job and leave it at that. The only way we would pay for him to go look for sheds is if he is on welfare. If he is on unemployment we don't pay for *censored*. So all you people that like to bitch about *censored* that is none of your bissness  you guys need help.

you can't collect if you were fired or let go.  The government jobs are a joke.  Been there done it.  The harder you work the faster you work your way out of a job.  You don't fit in they want to get rid of ya.  Or make your life misserable until you quit.  hang in there antlerking.  Don't let a bunch of bone heads keep you from sharing your passion.

Not that I care about this argument, but you can definatly collect unemployment if fired or let go it all depends on the circumstances
If it aint broke, dont fix it.
