Why is there such a competetion between most people? I know the big horn is what we are all after but to take it to the extremes of pissing off freinds? Kinda sad.
Anyone ever told their buddy they were heading out for a Friday and Saturday and then find out that that buddy is going to skip work(school) for two days before you go just to make sure he gets to look it all over first? Man, I am not that kind of person. In fact I am pretty willing to share my locations when a freind asks.
Maybe I need to start keeping my mouth shut from now one. Its just too bad.

That's not cool, especially if he knew you were taking your kids. :tdown:
Kids were not going on this one. Too many miles. :chuckle: I keep the kids close to home and gas stations fr snacks.

"Hey dude! Did you see the 180" buck hanging out in the woodline behind Walmart?! I just saw him again yesterday and he's dropped! I'm going out there on Saturday!!" :rolleyes:

I don't have any friends that I would have to worry about that happening with, and I also wouldn't feel the need to keep any honey holes of any kind from my friends. To me good friends are more important than some sheds or a good hunting spot.
Your right about that - when it comes down to my true friends and family I know I don't have anything to worry about. But I have a few acquaintances that have very large mouths that I do not trust with my huntin spots. The guys I trust are the ones that I am already hunting with.

Ok, but still not very cool. I think I would mess with the guy. Tell him you are going somewhere you're not to keep him busy.

He is a very charmed shed hunter, ok he is good. He would find a horn if I did that and I would be even more pissed. :chuckle:

Well, you are just going to have to flatten his tires then. No one carries 4 spares...

We have worked it out. Now shed hunting is not cut-throat anymore, it is a soap opera. :chuckle: :chuckle:
Sounds like it was all a bad misunderstanding and just a coincidence.
It still brings out the worst in some people.
Anyway, my bad.

OK OK OK. Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. So what.

Soap Opera? Daytime soap like the young and the horny or something? Maybe Days of our Shed, or Guiding Antler ?

More like an 80s night time soap like "Dallas" with a really good villian, like JR Ewing... :devil:

With that being said....if anyone with kids wants one of my honey holes for sheds in North Stevens county.......PM me. It's flat ground, easy walk and doesn't take that long to cover the area. I usually find 5-8 sheds a year there. It's a great place for young kids to go with mom or dad. And if you find some...post some pics so I can see what I missed out on. ;) I have found some record book sheds there so if you don't have kids and want to know......forgedaboutit. :chuckle:
Good luck everyone Brew

I geuss I don't take shed hunting that personal. I love to do it but I have showed most of my hunting buddys my best spots. They're just bone. I understand what most are saying, it's just not like that for me. I have found a lot more sheds then most of my friends and have no problem telling them you should try this spot or that spot....it's been productive for me. If someone that had kids asked me where a good spot was I would tell them one of my best spots. Unlike my hunting spots....shed hunting is open for me. As long as people get off the couch and do the boot miles....it's all good. There will be more sheds the next year.

Hey Pathfinder101, I'm going to be in Waitsburg this weekend. Shouldn't we get out and argue about wolves and Obama while we shed hunt your favorite honey hole. :hello: :dunno: ;)
I'd love to, but I have National Guard training all this weekend. Let me know next time you're in town though.
For what it's worth, I played hookey for a couple of hours this afternoon and went shed hunting. Put about 5 miles on the boots. NUTHIN. Saw 26 deer, but didn't find a single shed. I did see a 3x3 that ran off whith both sides firmly attached. :(
I wasnt by Waitsburg though, the whitetails up higher may have already dropped, but I've been out in the wheat/CRP twice this week and keep seeing bucks that are still packin'. Good luck this weekend.

Let me know how you do. I haven't gotten out yet. I think CoryTDF is going on Monday. Are you fishing the big river, or one of the tributaries?
