This is going to open a whole can of worms though... If you want public lands shut down to people shed hunting, then you better be shutting it down to hikers, snowshoers, hunters, fishermen, campers, skiers, snowmobilers, etc...

There are some people that could spend the entire winter out there and have minimal inpact on wildlife and the country side. Then you have those that are pushing game. Think its cool to Rover out there becasue he is a shed dog, and all he is is a backyard mutt that like to run game. You have idiots on quads tearing up the hillside. Its a black eye to EVERY user group. There are guys that utilize quads and take care of the resource. There are guys that have trained dogs that stay close and don't chase game. There are guys that can take photos all day and hunt coyotes and shed hunt and not bother or push game. What do you do. Put everyone in the woods during fawning and calving season with their dogs. Put pressure on them at that time or should it be pushed off to July and August. Ultimately if you plice your own, HOWEVER then people say you should ALL STAND together. Divided you are conquered. How about standing up for what is right and doing the right thing.

Does the state pick them up prior to the opener? Where do all the sheds they sell come from?

It's for real. The picture is from Montana but I am sure that it is very similiar at Oak Creek. Here is a link.

the only difference from that picture and Oak Creek is there are also horse's and ATV's at Oak creek :chuckle:
I cruised by there last year and it was a mad house. The parking lot was screaming overcrowded and looked like it was hurting for some relief. :chuckle:

is there any law about getting sheds before mar. 15 on public land? the reason i am asking is cause the critical time in a deer and elks life is late winter and early spring. the shed hunters are in the field at that time disturbing the animals when they are trying to make it thru the winter. this winter has been nice but the last 2 have been tough real tough. this is something that needs to be looked at with decreasing habitat and more people population . mike wThat's what we need is another excuse for the WDFW to shut down my land or time that we can be out there. Why don't we suggest a shed hunting license for them to gouge us with. :bdid:
